Great movie man!

Lol at 1:24... I bet you have some nice rock chips now.

So was he letting off the gas in the straights at the end? He seemed to disappear in the beginning but you always on his butt in the twisties! Great job against an S/C V8.... If I was not 6'8" I would be driving an Elise..... or an Exige

Thankully I have clear-bra....but all the cars were sandblasted/chipped from that day.

Catching up to cars in the braking zones is wherethis little car shines... next time I'll mount up some new rubber (tires were 3 yr old A048s) and try to keep momentum in the corners better.

I'm 6'4" and my helmet just rubs the roof with a seat-lowering kit. I still have roughly 1/2 inch more drop if I wanted...perhaps next time I take seat out I'll do it. 6'8"....that wouldn't work well with a top...but the top can come off.

It's a great track-car..not an everyday driver. I plan to replace my '06 STI with a c63 later this year...

thanks,
TomK

turbo should fix your straight away problem.

i still think they should've used the k20 from honda instead of the 1.8 from toyota.

stock lotus is about 2000lbs. About 800 less then the new civic and about 300 less then one of the older civics.

i think the new cts-v with the zr1 engine is going to be pretty nice. Agree the car is too heavy, even within its own class.
