@Dragoon I think I just got lucky with my 2019. Some of the earlier models had engine failures. I know another guy whose 2019 also spent a while in the shop. But Ford fixed his as well and it’s running fine now.

Finally back from the shop after 2 months bc of a wiring harness issue

I’m in LA and there’s really only one dealer over here for Lotus. I put down a refundable $5k deposit a few weeks ago. The sales person said that I could expect the car Q1//2 2023. That timetable was fine with me. The person said (rightly) that it is better to underpromise and overdeliver. He...

I’m new over here and read posts of this thread and feel like I’m in the right place. I drove a GT4 at the Porsche experience in LA. It’s a great track car but just isn’t me. I’m not crazy about how it looks. The interior was pretty Spartan as well. Maybe it’s that I had to drive a PDK when I’m...

This thread hit the nail on the head for me. I got to see, sit in and hear a C8 Z06 start in LA and was blown away. I immediately asked friends in car club to see if they could work connections to get me an allocation. But then some weeks went by and my mind started to change. I think part of it...
