I owned a 2020 C8 Z51 and sold it after 90 days of ownership. The engine and trans did not match up and the car needed higher revs. The Z06 for 2024 comes with more standard features with a starting MSRP around 115k. Driving it with its higher revs makes it feel completely different than the C8...

Tires make a big difference and so does a manual verses DCT trans.

I heard the Port injection V6 is over, this motor is the older V6 not the direct injection they use in other Toyota’s. Lotus has to use the port injection because of the supercharger that fit on top, port injection is not as clean and controlled as direct injection. The Direct injection cannot...

lol GTS slower than Emira but I would give up my Z06 for the GT3RS all day long.

Earth is doing it for 285? Austin is in the 800 range.

I understand but don’t forget the Toyota motor is a great motor, but it’s not in anyway a performance motor. The reason its port injection because Lotus could not put the supercharger on top of the Direct injection version. What I said is not opinion it’s fact. Audi, Ferrari, Lamborghini...

The sports suspension and the manual on the Emira especially for street driving is more demanding and for few a pain if traffic and stop lights are considered. The Z06 has Mag-Ride when in soft mode it is very convenient and comfortable plus dual clutch which makes it very easy to drive. The Z06...

The Emira is a beautiful car, I can’t believe how it doesn’t have any bad lines.

Sometimes the girl next door is a lot less maintenance than the supermodel. At least from my experience, which is why I had both of these cars on order. One thing is funny I went to my Lotus Dealer asking what oil service will cost me, it’s 890 dollars, yes on a Toyota motor with a supercharger...

I have both on order an Emira and a Z06. Z06 production starts July 22nd with mid-August delivery. In the video this is a convertible Z which is heavier and slower on the track, it does have the Z07 packaged. My 2024 Z06 with a lot of nice options all in MSRP with gas guzzlers is $119,181. The...

The rear is uglier on the C8 Z51 compared to the wider Z06 rear which IMO looks a little better without the Z07 package high wing. Interesting video just hit 5 hours ago, like I mentioned I would never compare these two cars. Plus the convertible Z06 in this video is slower and heavier than the...

Mine will be at MSRP with courtesy local delivery. I been on a wait list since June of 2020 when I picked up my C8 Z51. I could have had my Z06 in late 2022 but I was building a new home & did not have the space to store it. I noticed All cars are coming down from the crazy frenzy days and you...

I drive a hybrid company SUV and have a new Etron GT. I love the Etron GT it’s an incredible machine never thought I would own an electric car. It’s been solid and I have it on a 3 year lease that is up in April 2026. Thank G as they drop like a brick as values on pre-owned EV’s is like having a...

I4 will have more torque and come in at the same HP at 400. It’s so easy to do with turbo’s and with dual clutch will be the faster track weapon. The V6 with the Super Charger on top has a higher center of gravity compared to the AMG motor. I think the V6 will be discontinued as its Port...

He is a big Lotus guy and now owns all 3 cars. He had the Lotus Elise for a long time. Not a bad review but he is a little bit of a Lotus lover.

What car is a flop? Z06? Nissan Z? Not understanding the comments.

Makes sense hate to lose money on any of these deals. My Z06 is being built July 22nd expect to get it 2nd week of August. Could have had it in January of 2022 but was building a house. Flipping back then would have netted me 50 to 80k dam that was stupid to tell them pass me up.

Interesting so after taxes your in the 102 to 105k. Curious what she brings above that number. I heard Bat fees are steep. My C8 Z51 in 2020 around this month sold for 119k I paid all in 82k.

Did you have a 1.0 LE or was yours a 2.0 LE with higher price?

Be interesting to hear what people will think about it once installed. I had one in my Audi R8 and it was nice but definitely slows your shifts by 35% .

First the 458 Ferrari was built 2009 through 2015 which is basically a decade ago, yes it was 300 lbs lighter than the new base Z06. .Cars are getting more bloated and technical and less analog, that is what makes the Emira special. Ferrari 458 was replaced by the 488 which had 661 horsepower at...

Semi-agree, as Lotus is a Boutique brand, not necessarily a high-end brand like Ferrari or others. A Porsche GT3 and even C8 Z06 corvette have exotic materials in the cars. The engine of the Z06 has a tremendous amount of complexity and exotic materials. Let’s be honest the Emira is powered by a...

To me it’s very simple, You buy what makes you happy and enjoy it, in the end everyone is full of SH_T.. I have a Z06 in production and a few of my car friends make jokes about me wearing New Balance and Jean shorts which I don’t!. F them my car purchases have to please 1 person & that is me &...

The Emira wait has been horrible, I been waiting so long it gets to a point priorities change in that amount of time. I put my name on the list then later a deposit down in California, name was in late 2020. My 2024 Z06 is in production should arrive by end of July, I am still complexed where I...

Here is the Exhaust in a V10 R8, make sure you are wearing your Depends sound on my V8 was amazing but this is off the hook, sounds like an older F1 car with a v10

I did a complete Kine exhaust on mine, with many videos. The issue was how the OEM vacuum computer for the actuators would work based off RPM. It was tricky, as it closed at certain RPM’s during cruising to keep it from drone, which was good. This exhaust was very calm inside and nice F1 tone...

Sold my manual V8 R8 years ago, that car will be missed. The technology in the car is very dated like the infotainment system even in 2014. Great car enjoy in the USA they hold their value. I was looking for a 2018 rear wheel drive V10 but prices are too high so I opted for a New 2024 Z06...

My car came in but failed PDI and needs new rotors and pads. I will be waiting till they come in as the parts are on backorder. So no delivery or purchase for me as the wait has gone on since the 2021 deposit. I was also told my 2024 Z06 starts production at the end of next week, had that...

Interesting is your blue? I live about 5 minutes from your area i am on the lake. I See a blue one driving around Little Elm all the time. (3) . The 2nd gear was the same with the Evora, I know it was improved on the 400 & GT. When I drove the demo Emiras, I thought it felt very similar to the...

I had similar issues with my Evora. The problem was so bad I took the entire car apart and redid all the clips that attached panels to the vehicle. I used BMW German-made clips and felt separation and that solved the problem. It was annoying but I was doing an Audio upgrade too so it made sense...

The power gains are usually small on a NA motor but better on forced induction motors. I always ask Is the Juice worth the squeeze, in the end it’s up to the buyers.

You can also get 2.25% rate from them but you have to have the same amount of cash in the bank to get that rate. Your paying yourself back. 4.99% for 60 months is the lowest Auto rate I could find with a credit score of 847.

I think your guess is inline with what is coming. Since the V6 is the only variant that has a manual transmission it could stay for a few more years in the USA. The V6 is port injected, which allows the S-charger to fit on top of the V6 verses Direct Injection. Unfortunately Port is not the...
