    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I dont think most people understand this car. I drove it today, drove it hard and smooth, both on my short demo trip. It is meant for road racing. Everything about it screams REAL speed vs stupid speed and chattering wheels. I have actually road raced cars, i never have been to a track...

    Who has had a Test Drive , score from 1 to 10

    10 it's a 10. I dont think anyone on here really road races. It is not meant for a track car or a leisure toy. It is a beautiful juvenile beast. It is meant for crap roads, horrible traffic conditions, evading morons, enduring sort of speed demon. It is quite fast too. I cannot imagine...

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    The 911 T looks incredible. it is better than an Emira if you add what one should do to a luxurious sweet f'n ride like that 911 T could be. However, I would create a $140k version of it to make it the best car out there. that's quite a big jump, plus tax here of 8.63%, over the Emira with...

    Who here think there will be a massive price hike especially In the US market

    Porsche raised prices for 2023 builds by a notable chunk. Emira would be a better buy at FE prices for certain. Porsche will not raise prices again most likely. They take a couple of years to do so. also, the list to be on it to get any 718 series vehicle is beginning to grow long. People...

    US buyer. Any guess when I can expect delivery?

    hello! here I go: http://www.porsche-code.com/PPUHI4G2 it takes a while to generate the page, big delay. That is what I built. Has black leather everywhere in the interior, and Guards Red Stitching even up near the windshield, around the clock. Even the AIR BAG piece that is plastic is...

    Anyone thinking twice about buying Emira?

    I ordered a Porsche 718 Boxster T. Guards Red with tons of interior options, super blinged out. Even have carbon fiber seats and custom inserts for Style. Arrives in 3 weeks! This Emira is taking a very long time. Now i hope it takes a longer amount of time so i can save up some extra...

    Dealer Demo cars in Europe and UK

    I believe these vehicles are failing safety tests. I have 0 belief that a thing created by a communist-party-funding Chinese mega company is having problems getting parts from another Chinese communist mega company which is next to it physically. I believe there will be something shown wrong...

    World's first Emira customer delivery?

    they are trying to spread them out around the country to get people excited for their chinese made flying turd 5200 lbs battery EV's. cannot blame them for trying.

    How many crossed shopped the GT4?

    981 S is cool in manual. If cheap. None are though. Wait 3 years and get one with 70k miles, then sorta cheap. I would take a 718 S in manual though any day. It is so much more powerful and it has more notable grip and stability in every way.

    JayEmms latest speculation

    they wont go down in the slightest. the demand is 9 month wait when normally it was a four month wait. most people are waiting one year solid for one. and they have been making them for 25 years, just cannot produce enough of them. Pending retarded EU rules that no one wants aside from the...

    JayEmms latest speculation

    it isnt. A few thousand only. I just bought one new. They are very difficult things to get an allocation for. 2-3 every 4-5 months at a dealership available to order. There are not that many porsche dealerships.

    JayEmms latest speculation

    wtf are you smoking? how about less than 1000% of that number? where the hell did you get that number? I assure you that with 12 per dealership per year, and less the past year, that number is not millions. wtf?

    The greatest bargain or a rip off?

    Emira is better than the vehicles mentioned under $100k. Supra is really awesome. Just somehow lacks suspension and handling. beast of a motor. Emira v6 is a sweet deal

    Base Cost in the US - $75k or $77k?

    it's not diesel prices it's profits. I am guessing it's padding for developing the brand. It cannot remain there in a few years, that will piss off the retarded EV's plastic car buyers they most want. it would not cost me to that much to send a sports car to England. I will attempt to get a...

    Emira reservation woes, and other car woes... feedback appreciated!

    Eh. No on the M3. Just no. It's a SEDAN. Get a slightly used Mazda MX-5 RF. a LOT more fun than a bmw sedan. half the price or less, and not built like crap. Your Lotus emira will be low on storage, so you dont care about that. The M3 looks like a basic car. the RF is one of the most...

    Base Cost in the US - $75k or $77k?

    i had a quote 7 years ago to ship my Mini Cooper S to England would be $910 dollars. That's one person. no deals, nothing. From Newark, NJ. please. this is just china and greed. That extra 2200 is just an extra 2200. whole thing is extra.

    Base Cost in the US - $75k or $77k?

    uhhh my porsche from Germany only has $1450. That is a farther distance. UK to the USA is pretty cheap transport. the 2200 is a nice way to say Screw You, and take more money. Also consider that the US dollar is so strong, it's an extra screw you.

    Leather vs Alacantara?

    The alcantara on the 2017 BRZ i own and the alcantara on the 2021 911 GTS in the showroom of my Porsche dealership are not the same at all in feel and how they grip. Short vs longer fiber? not sure that's the the only difference.

    Leather vs Alacantara?

    alcantara steering wheels are meant for fire-proof racing gloves. they are cloth thingies. the gloves are designed to stick to the alcantara wheel. that's the only reason alcantara wheels exist, to allow race car drivers use flame retarded clothing and have great grip still. Yes, I have a...

    Leather vs Alacantara?

    it does wear sooner than leather. It also is really really really cheap to replace if you get to know someone in the business. mid-Quality leather + not being a heavy person + cleaning it weekly + never allowing food in a car or ball point pens = Last for 40+ years. Also, grown men should not...

    Has LOTUS delivered a car in any country?

    I can however give you an estimated date on your estimated order date. Lotus has made me a pro at estimating. I am sure glad they are holding my deposit. I would have spent it on crack and hookers otherwise. maybe that's the point, to help addicts not fall off the wagon.

    Leather vs Alacantara?

    no one should worry about alcantara stuff. 1. it lasts really long if you are not a pig 2. most people are pigs 3. just get leather 4. leather stretches and looks like crap if youre a pig 5. get cow patterned seat covers and a gold chain steering wheel from the 70's

    US Exchange Rates - Purchase impact?

    it will do nothing. China geely will enjoy ripping off US Customers is all. probably increase the price more for fun. Our dollar is worth a lot more than the pound now but pricing will be the same US dollars.

    V6 Rant

    very few people reviewing things or on this forum owned and regularly used a supercharged sport car. Turbos suck, naturally aspirated is an endearing gimmick. Supercharged is where it is at for a road race car. It will make you cackle with glee once you experience one in traffic situations...

    What is the chance that a Chinese company installing software that hooks up to their systems is not spying and getting cough cough "metadata"? Many will jump on this and defend someone they do not know, white knighting is a hobby of forums for years. I am noticing the lack of analog anything in...
