Both these cars are too old and interiors are definitely dated. Been a long while since I driven them both, at the time I loved the Ferrari 360 but the F1 trans is not for everyone. 430 was a leap forward and the 458 was just perfecto.

OMG I would be so Pissed at that price, a Ferrari 458 is less than that price.

What frustrates me the most it’s a Toyota motor with a super charger & the parts like the oil filter should be the same as a Toyota ? Am I missing something?

If the dealer is doing oil change only, IMO it should not exceed $250 at any Lotus dealer in the USA. But remember It all depends on the dealer mechanic HR rates. Even my new Z06 with dry sump system multiple drain points, & Special Mobil 1™ Supercar 5W-50 oil design for that engine (10.00 per...

No way to get a factory painted bumper it would not match the car regardless & that is not how it works. Any high end paint shop will need to fade blend it, hood and fenders would be involved most of the time if it’s the bumper. My concern would be that it shows up on Carfax or some sort of...

Too much for a GM, I had a hard time spending 120k + taxes on my 24 Z06 which is a great car. Truly fast enough and more of a track car. Based on performance it’s a true bargain, but the dealer experience is not Porsche and like other high end cars. I think ADM will be 70k plus, I was also told...

That’s really interesting! I’d be shocked if this was a federal law. If it’s true, it would likely vary based on state laws. This could make for a great post: What are your thoughts on ADM (Additional Dealer Markup) situation, and why are manufacturers letting independent dealers get away with...

In my area it’s been two years, but they still expected it returned to their dealer if you ever wanted another car from them again. I played the game & been on these dopey list. Porsche has gone nuts with the GT cars, I was talking to the GM at Park Place Porsche in Grapevine & said Covid has...

I love black cars but way too much pollen in my area, blankets it with yellow during spring & summer. Ferrari Boardwalk in Plano Texas has been playing the game for a long while. But it all depends on your geography location. Their are ways around any process but on any new Ferrari they sell you...

Nice 458 love black but way to hot in Texas and I am so OCD I could never keep it clean enough. Through Covid their values did get a nice bump but then again, most cars did, good luck on your next venture. I agree with your point, but it seems my comments have veered off the original topic...

Makes sense, fun & excitement are a factor for me too. In the end, everyone has a budget but I always try to keep logic on the table when making an emotional decision on any large purchase. This philosophy has worked well for me but not projecting anyone else to follow it. For example, I can...

My biggest complaint with McLaren, Ferrari, and even Lamborgini is the total cost of ownership. What is the sports car truly costing me based on the entertainment value, as mine are never driven daily and are just for personal entertainment? If you look at Porsche and stick with the GT...

My previous C7 Z51 & Z06 both manuals with my Audi R8 gated manual

I agree, these cars have more power than any street can allow. The Z06 is event when it’s on all the race settings on the street, it helps since no manual is offered. The Emira is an event because your connected especially with the manual trans engagement at any speed.

When I had my PPF installed they removed the corvette on rear and emblem on front. I left it off. This color changes in the light it a Tri-Coat, my wheels are graphite not black they were discounted for 2024 which is my car. The Z comes with Coil overs will have it lowered .50 inches front to...

Thanks, I am not a typical corvette car guy, love euro sports cars. This color was not a typical Z color & my build all in was 119k, paid MSRP not over but they are going for under now and a true bargain. It’s all about the engine in this car, stupid power with revs to 8600 and the exhaust...

Looking at an Audi R8 V10 must be low miles under 5k and be a 2020 or newer. I would get rid of my C8 Z06 for the R8, but truly enjoying it at the moment.

Sports Cars in the EU are not holding values compared to last year but in America is seeing a drop but GT3 are still higher than they should be, thanks to Covid FOMO. But we are starting to see them drop. My timing on my 2024 Z06 was off, but I paid 3k less than 2025 but still think some can get...

The drop in value will definitely depend on how many Emira s are produced and are located in that particular region and country. The more they make the more they will depreciate.

Lotus said at the beginning, the Emira is the last ice car from Lotus. This keeps getting debated on Lotus forums with hopes they are going to change direction. I agree many true Lotus fans will be left behind with this direction. We will see more EV’s being released for the future. Does that...

I think this could mean that Lotus is done with ICE cars? Do we think they will produce any updated version of the Emira?
