I too have a ‘23 Miata RF and a Evora 400. Don’t know which one I love more.

Absolutely! I went to my first LOG (LOG24 in Birmingham AL in 2004) in my Miata because my Elise hadn't arrived yet. Took first place in the autocross in the Everything That's Not a Lotus class. Had a great time and made friends I still have today.

I imagine a slow DCT is about as fast as the torque converter auto with the V6, which is plenty fast as is.

And to further illustrate this, here's a picture of an Elise (same chassis technology) with it's body removed. Also just as stiff as with its body panels and clams.

False. The roof is simply a layer of GRP (fiberglass) that goes over the roll bar and connects to the windshield header. You can remove the front and rear clams, the doors, and the rest of the body and the chassis will be as stiff as with the body. I attached a couple of photos to illustrate.

Wouldn't the shipping costs from China to Hethel raise the final price significantly?

Yeah, the more the kit blends with the paintwork the better. If it contrasts too much it looks cheap and tacked on instead of the intended design.

Black wheels! :)

That actually looks better than Osmium because it doesn't have the weird blue-ish tint.

Just get the black calipers and you can spend more time driving and less time cleaning.

The Evora is actually more practical than an Emira. I believe it has a slightly bigger trunk, and can you fit 4 carry on bags behind the seats of an Emira? I think not.

I drove my Evora 400 from Atlanta to Salt Lake City and back via West Virginia and it was great. Practical and comfortable but also brilliant on track or in the twisties. Do it.

Look at the cars in Harry's collection that he's not selling. They're all still appreciating. Harry is a wealthy, car flipper. He bought the Emira hoping to sell it for a quick profit after using it for web content. Now that you can buy a second hand Emira below MSRP it's time for him to...

I seriously LOL'd. Can I quote that? It's perfect..

There's another example. I don't think you even realize you're doing it. Calling me fragile has nothing to do with the topic at hand and is just a personal attack. Grow up.

Another immature ad hominem attack. Nice. Let me guess, you're still in high school but just learned to drive a stick so you're very proud of yourself. Congratulations.

1. True, plus the V6 sounds amazing. Then again I drove 4 cylinder Lotus cars for 13 years and never complained about the sound. I'd been told that my Exige S with 2bular exhaust sounded like a MotoGP bike. 2. True, and we all know lighter is better. 3. Its performance comes from the quicker...

1. The I4 is cheaper 2. The I4 is lighter 3. The I4 has virtually the same performance 4. The I4 has the capability of much higher HP than the V6 in the aftermarket 5. Not everyone wants a manual transmission

Tape?

That front splitter and rear spoiler would look AWESOME painted Magma to match the rest of the body.

I haven't driven a lot of 911s, but all of the ones I have understeered unacceptably. Like a lot. By comparison all of my Lotus cars have had super-sharp turn in.

Arm Rest with storage Works like a charm and look like its from the factory.

I’d love to see it with the kit painted Magma.

Lotus of Atlanta wants $450 for an oil change. I did the last one in my garage and it was simple.

For those not familiar there is an excellent British automotive magazine called EVO whose motto is "The Thrill of Driving". In each issue they highlight one letter to the Editor. In the latest issue (320) this is the letter: "In 2058, the first commercial nuclear fusion reactors began...

I had a C7 Z06 before the Evora. It's quality control left much to be desired. 6 warranty claims in the first 2 years. And it had great performance if you measure performance by acceleration or top speed.

I hope your replacement works out well. I too got a rock chip in my Evora's windshield and took it to Lotus of Atlanta for replacement. They did the work quickly and I had the car back in under a week. However, afterwards I noticed a wind noise at highway speeds. So I took it back. They...

Evora fits 4 carry-ons in the back seat alone with room for a backpack behind each seat on the floor.

I'll be leaving shortly for a road trip through the Outer Banks. Any ideas of things to see and do or things to avoid? Great restaurants or hotels to stay in? Cool beaches or lighthouses? It can be anything from Myrtle Beach SC to Norfolk VA. Already on the list is Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, &...
