3,900 lbs !!!! No thanks, I'll pass.

I've seen similar symptoms in other cars. The CarPlay in my 2023 Miata locks up when using Waze, but works fine with Google or Apple maps.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I was asking if you were planning on using the car with this type of alignment only as a dedicated track car because that kind of alignment on the street will destroy your tires. In other words, you can optimize your alignment for the road, but the tires...

I actually bought my Lotus cars because I love how they drive. Not because it’s cool or I’m trying to impress people.

I assume with this radical of an alignment that this is a track-dedicated car?

I don’t think redesigning the rear subframe for a longitudinal engine would be that difficult for Lotus. Recall they had to create a new rear sub frames for the Tesla roadster, the Opel/Vauxhall turbos and Hennessy did it for its V8. Heck, Lotus even did it for turbo I4. Different rear subframe...

You're going to get a lot of posts like this... Oh no, you're doing it all wrong. To get your car clean correctly, you need to...

Nobody make the rules, bro. Definitions like this are subjective.

There's actually a very good reason for it. Let's say your car crashes at a track day. You're upside down and the car is on fire. You've got to undo your harnesses/seatbelt, unlock the car, grab the door handle, and get out of the car as soon as possible. Hard to do when your hands are on fire.

Yes, next year Lotus Ltd is holding its national event in conjunction with the West Coast Lotus Meet, which is the largest Lotus meat on the West Coast. So this year‘s LUG in Salt Lake City should be the largest gathering ever. Definitely worth the road trip out there.

My impression is just the opposite. I believe the vast majority of Europeans drive manual cars. It can be difficult to rent an automatic car over there. They look down on Americans because the vast majority of us can only drive automatics.

Over $100 for an oil filter ?!?! Is it made of gold?

THIS!

In which countries are ICE being banned in 2030? Surely Lotus will continue to build and sell ICE vehicles in those other countries.

Again, the folks from Lotus Cars USA that were at LOG 44 said that the green and bronze would be around $4500 and the bronze would be around $7500.
