Interesting and very good results so far (will change as it is a poll) I like how the people that type the most dominate the forum socially, and they are all about performance or comparison. But the reality is that Interior not being crap and being able to hold luggage or useable or comfy is...

after the Emira's, it is dead.

I love that guy <3 He's the best

A third shift would solve much yes. Better for the company in every way. More out is less pissed off early depositors. At this point, everyone is still early as they have not made a car yet :D

i hope all of my enemies in life drive 500 hp i4's at like 40 lbs of boost pressure.

rear wheel drive with a rear engine is much more weight on the tires than a mid engine vehicle of the same weight. really have to look at how weight transfer works for downforce. Also, the gt3 has +100 lbs more weight. Do you know that the lower the car the less it has? drop a car 1 inch and...

a 718 S Porsche with 350 hp, 309 torque, is past the limit of adhesion if you stomp the gas on a well paved road. 400hp and lower gearing, which this Emira has, you will be a road vegetable. the car is less than 3200 lbs, most like 3100 and change. The car weighs too little to use that full...

Needs downforce. would look quite a bit different if it had 500hp. 400 is intense.

I only buy brand new cars, and only buy ones that can be used a lot and will not break down much, so the options are only: Porsche 718 T Boxster will full blast interior and red options Porsche 718 S Cayman in white metallic with full blue interior leather and blue carpeting There really is no...

oh jeez. im talking on 718 forum now. mine is not on there yet for certain but many people's porsches are. Really sucks

most were built just to rip off the people coming home from WWII and Korea. unusable lots of things they built back then. So many on long island are like that, fully useless garages that you cannot open a door inside of one.

i suggest cutting the car in half and putting it in two garages.

Sto-n-sho generally is what one should use. Tow hook i greatly disagree with using as it is structural and if you hit something you get a metal bolt crushed into the car. Just a bad idea. also, they look bad just sitting out there I think.

The evora, while a very cool car, is a bit hodge podge, needing refinement. The difference between fugly and beautiful is not far but always obvious. Emira is infinitely more beautiful.

yeah that Emira is where it's at. Fixes all the awkward Evora things. Silky Smooth now.

I am excited to hear that i wont get an FE version of a car at the price i agreed to and now will spend +20k on things that were once free. this makes me happy. i love being a loser

that's an insane sound. I would just have a maniacal cackle with that thing blasting. Both these cars are like uncut cocaine.

that ferrari probably is the best thing i have ever heard. I have to agree. i have JBL studio monitor setup and a fancy DAC on my computer, 2.1 setup, and holy crap! that was impressive. Naturally aspirated v12 blowing past 8000 RPM = boing!

I have killed a lot of smurfs in my day. I chose seneca blue to honor them.

Lotus is handling this all like crap. Stop eating the soy products and saying otherwise.

Seneca Blue, no black pack, and ice grey interior. I wanted a more funky modern look to this, futuristic and cool colors. Diamond wheels.

the diamond cut in the configurator look meh at best. But, all of the real photos show it is softer, a two tone look. Looks really good. I think diamond cut or black for your car. Silver will be too bright for blue. looks fine on green, red, yellow, dominant intense pigments. Although, if...

unlikely yes, but eh. I mean some of the "flow formed" ones are pretty nice. I still would not do anything aside from forged on this car though. Porsche 718 is all forged even 18"'s.

20" wheels should always be Forged. a 17" wheel, eh, with a lot of tire, eh. 18" even with a chunk of tire ok, but 20" are really low profile and all sorts of heinous death things happen if you hit something.

Seneca Blue + no black pack + Diamond cut wheels + black calipers + ice grey interior.

I hypothetically chose Nimbus + Red interior and black calipers and diamond cut wheels. Looking at the samples, it is clear that the best match is the Tan and Nimbus. The colors are closer together, have similar colors in them. I am looking at them in a color correct monitor. I just want...

the diamond wheels are much more silver than the configurator shows, but offer a less bright view. I vote for them. Silver regular is fine though. I dislike the black on there. I dislike black on a lot of things though unless it's orange or bright green, yellow. The standard silver though...

If it breaks $96k, most will bail out. If it goes past early half of 2023, most will bail out. Reason? this sucks.

i cannot see racing unless i am going somewhere. never got the track thing.

only california does that shit.

That would be taking a bribe to go against a contract. No issues i see with this. I am sure Lotus would be happy to hear this.

What is worse is that the Allocation thing will be extending after the FE's. Will the 80 people at my dealer with deposits get them all in 2023? or a lot less? if not all, this is stupid.

yes and maybe sooner than the first two weeks it seems here on Long Island. I wish they would clarify everything. Someone here did a good job of it as a salesperson of a dealership. Be nice if Lotus itself did so.

Or, better idea: Customers will just give 800,000 checks at $2500 each and get no car until 2028 when they are all EV flying turds. That's also an option. I think they might be going for that option. First come first serve is not at all how one operates a retail store properly. One's stock...

what was wrong with the gearbox?

One sits on you or the other girl while you drive. I have done it a few times either method.

in the USA, almost no one has a supercharged car, especially who are now buying a Lotus.

The edelbrock supercharged engine + toyota will last a lot longer and be really cheap to service. If you want to add just another luxury toy and you will drive it like 2k miles a year, i guess it wont matter. As a daily driver or cross country machine, I would take the toyota+edelbrock I...

Think of this: people want EV's so much, they will fine and jail you after 2030 for owning the car you want, the gasoline one. It is so good that you have to subsidize it for wealthy people and fine poor people in order to force them to exist.

Oh, like a remote control car with a skateboard of 3000 lbs of batteries is going to get a lot better. Maybe this is the 1920's and we just have not gone through the technological age yet! The chemistry is done for Lithium ion batteries, physical limit was known decades ago. This is not about...
