    FE I4 pricing no longer on US website

    Yeah, you might void the warranty and good question for Chevy. You might be ok with high performance air filter and the AWE exhaust, and it wouldn't cost much for the air filter change to find out. From my experiences with my 2004 E46 M3 and current 2018 718 Cayman even an aftermarket...

    FE I4 pricing no longer on US website

    Well, they must be able to recommend someone to you who does. I can't imagine putting an exhaust system like that on a C8 without reworking the air intake. You've got plenty of air intake options under 1K if you're seriously considering getting the car. You might consider giving someone like...

    That AWE exhaust sounds incredible and needless to say increases the performance. Do they have anything for the intake?

    Ride Height..... hence wheel gap....official answer

    I think perhaps "Proper" would be the better word use here.

    Ride Height..... hence wheel gap....official answer

    This is a 2016 488 GTB in my vicinity here in NWFL land that is currently for sale. The tires are 245/35 20's up front and 305/30 20's in rear. Emira will have same size up front and 295/30 20's in rear. I'd like to think we'll be fine with our Emira ride heights especially that I personally...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Things were a lot different back in 2019, a whole lot different and my BMW buying experience on a 2021 X3M in early 2021 was a whole lot different than what you have described in 2019 or my prior BMW buying experiences on 2 other new BMW's from the same dealer in the past. Did I blame BMW at the...

    You bet! You also have some great country roads in the UK as well. Perfect the Emira! Looking forward you your review of your forthcoming test drive. (y)

    I originally contacted WI on 7/16/21 and finalized my Emira deposit the next day...I will say that I really like my salesman there a lot, even since the get go and that hasn't changed. But I have not always gotten accurate information on the car itself including the DC wheels and will leave it...

    Your UK weather this summer was making quite a few headlines here in the States and looked rather dire in some cases, hopefully things will cool off for you now as it has here just recently. Anyway, thanks for the update and continued Good Luck getting your Emira asap. I'll look for your and...

    Thanks for the input Tom...I like your spec too! We get a lot of sun here in Florida so I might be onto something with the DV and the yellow calipers which will tie into the interior if I go with Alcantara and YS. You're right about the red color being stunning as the real-life pictures of it...

    Yeah, well any way you slice it you're gonna have a lot of fun with your V6 6speed Emira. Each of the 2 tires Lotus has chosen for the car have their merits. I'm not gonna track mine so it's the Goodyears all the way. A lot of time went into the Goodyears and many tire compounds were tested...

    Well, being that I haven't done business with them before and am like 288 miles away (but at least in FL) they asked me for a 5K non-refundable deposit, which I am comfortable with as that is it until I take delivery. I didn't get a guarantee on a FE but being #7 I was pretty confident that I...

    Yeah, my 718 is nice for what it is although a little underpowered compared to its fellow 718's and my past 2004 E46 M3 but adding octane booster and fuel injector cleaner with every gas dosage helps with that quite a bit. Really makes the Sport Exhaust come to life too. Easy to drive and a lot...
