    Theory 1 Thoughts?

    Part Lambo (front)/Part Cybertruck (rear quarter) I think it looks a lot better in the ~1min promotional video they put up. I think just not the direction a lot of us want from Lotus. I am fine if they have EV offerings but as soon as the Emira/ICE is gone there is nothing there for me.

    Best Lotus Model For Track Day Use

    Yeah the clam replacement/repair is always a concern, although I get more concerned with significant off if there is damage to the front suspension pickups. You can replace/repair clams easy enough, front crash structure and rear subframe is easy as well but the front pickups are part of the...

    New Emira Configurator!

    I added some clarifications. Need to see the base model pricing to be honest. Was hoping they would open up the color options, offer a lighter/less featured seat option (since I would toss the stock seat in the first 5 min of ownership anyway). Other than that I am happy with the base wheel...

    New Emira Configurator!

    Disappointed but not surprised. (For me, definitely like the base wheels, No KEF, and Drivers pack). Was really hoping for different seat options but wasn't holding my breath.

    Cars you've sold or passed on and wished you hadn't?

    Honestly the only car I had to sell and still wish I hadn't was my 2002 S2000. I enjoyed the ~2 years with my 2011 Evora S but it was just ok. Happy to have owned it/experienced it but wasn't a forever car for me. I still have my Exige S and 997.2 C2S so I really don't have a lot of...

    997 into Emira….?

    If you have a 997.2 Manual I wouldn't get rid of it. I love my .2 C2S. Have owned S1 Evora S (pretty modified), driven GT's, and have a deposit and have driven the Emira. I still would not get rid of my 997.2 for any of those cars but am happy to add it as a stable mate. The problem is they...

    i4 wih 400HP - post from another Lotus Forum

    Gator said they ordered their demo and were expecting that available in Nov/Dec time frame. I am pretty much on the fence of pulling my deposit for the V6, just holding out for Base model configurator/changes. Too much overlap with current cars and I don't want to sell anything. The AMG...

    Do people really dislike the covered start button?

    Gimmicky AF Anyone remove it yet? Would be one of the first things I would find a way to do. Felt cheap to me.

    Never will sell that car

    Yeah if my order window comes up I don't think I would get rid of my 997.2 c2s anymore. Having owned Evora and driven Emira they don't give me anything more. So if I don't have the room for all cars I'll probably pass on Emira at this point. Keeping my deposit a while though.

    Tires recommendations

    Not sure on what weather you will be driving in but I have switched to only running Conti ECS 2 recently for street and really enjoy them for this weight of car and street only driving. They run a bit less $$$ than other options as well so a bit of a bonus. Ran them on my Evora S and have them...

    Track Day Insurance

    Almost, if not all USA insurance providers have added exclusions in the past 10+~ years or so to exclude any event ran on a racing surface/circuit which would also exclude "driver education" type events. People have also had their policies cancelled for just inquiring if certain activity is covered.

    Track Day Insurance

    I have used Hagerty, Lockton and Ontrackinsurance personally. I know people with experience with claims for Lockton and Ontrack and both had no issues and was a relatively quick process. I wouldn't file a claim unless it's a total loss but that is me considering these all run 10-15%...
