    Non BLACK PACK exhaust tips??

    I am getting the full exhaust setup from Aerie and replace the stock silver tips ... otherwise I would have have to do something satin like T2F stated.

    So does that mean only CARB isn't testing auto as I thought the update from Lotus was implied EPA .... but I might have read into it. Just wishing for those few auto peeps

    @Fasttoys Similar position. I was on Z06 list for almost 3 years and figured I would get a late '24. I got a surprise call last summer and if I wanted to give up Z07 I could get as alot of people were holding out for the pkg. I said I'll skip Z07, give me the car. Absolutely LOVE it (well...

    That's great to see ... my next ask will be to meet an owner to let me sit in the car if they haven't been released yet from the dealer :-)))))))

    Aerie Performance Christmas Sale For Emira, Evora, Exige, Elise and Eletre

    I have a cart waiting ... full exhaust,headers, diffuser, and if any other CF parts (surround, splitter) before cars released to us. Agree if you extend to US folks, you'll have many buyers

    Canadian Allocations

    Not sure how it works with Lotus but for GM vehicles (at least for Chev and Cadillac), the dealer is reimbursed/paid for PDI. I only know because when I got my Z06, I asked about how long it takes and they told me that GM pays between 2-3 hours depending on options. So having to pay for PDI...

    Insurance Options for US Market

    I had checked this summer and the estimate was $50/mo (but less than 4500miles/yr as I have other vehicles to drive), checked earlier this week when the cars had arrived and it was up to $66. No way to compare with others as so many factors .... what all is covered on policy, bundled with...

    When I picked up my Z06 a few months ago, it had cat paw prints all across the car. Must be the new security system dealers are using as the dogs are too easily lured with raw steaks. Thanks for the pics, so awesome to see actual real cars on US soil after almost 3 years. Thanks to DaaS for...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I truly hope it isn't true but I wouldn't be surprised by government regs. Several years ago the US passed some regulations targeted at imported toys meant for children that contained x amount of lead (i.e. to prevent ingesting). The intent was good but never had someone normal review and...

    Thanks for info and that is unbelievable for those wanting the auto. Can't believe that pushes out until sometime in summer. And gets worse for those with orders and a nonrefundable deposit

    I will likely take a break from the forum when the car gets here but I bet it wont be long before an issue pulls me back on in relatively short order. Plus, I will be tracking the Final Edition for 2028 right after the Base i4/v6 have finally been delivered

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Hopefully @GatorMotorsport will be providing updates as it seems they are the only ones with as accurate as possible information. The fact no updates in awhile is telling in that all other dealers are just repeating hearsay. While I'm not an auto, that is an odd statement from azlambo's dealer...

    3rd Cat Delete

    Great looking but like LSP408 said, the shipping to US is quite expensive and then no sound clips yet. I like the Larini exhaust that @Evotion has because we could hear the exhaust.

    Thanks for the response. Definitely interested in multiple pieces of new development: CF front splitter, rear wing, side skirts, intake. Plus the engine cover, was going to get the bypass from milltek but could combine. Dang my order is getting large

    Carbon fiber bits

    Assume the 1:1 replacement means a direct replacement, not sending back the existing one? I only ask because another CF vendor for Z06 wanted the existing factory parts returned else pay a higher amount. Exciting you will have ready relatively soon and be able to see some pics. With you...

    also a big Z fan and still have the 40th Nismo. Wasn't overly impressed with the new one and with it being auto. Will just hang onto the 370 but look forward to new experiences with the Emira

    I too have USAA and last time I got estimate it was $65/mo but I do have many vehicles, house, no claims, clean record, etc etc etc. Way too many factors to compare but am happy with that amount

    Naples Motorsport wants another deposit and adding Dealer Fees. Is the Dealer Fee a markup?

    My last three vehicle purchases did not include a dealer processing fee or another fees, MSRP + destination only ... so there are some dealers that don't charge the slush fee. Gator doesn't charge either so that will be my 4th. Although my state 'allows it', it isn't mandated and can be...

    Lotus Emira - Toys and Models

    I finally got my Hot Wheels 1:64 Magma .... just happened to be walking through a Safeway and they had 5 huge displays of HW. Didn't have time to search them all but literally one was right out front ... grabbed it quick and was happy to check that box.

    In USA, is anyone paying above MSRP?

    Do you mean the destination charge? which is charged by the manufacturer. I am also at Gator @ MSRP and their customer service is so much above my 'local' dealer based on my interactions. I know the dealer in WA is also doing MSRP

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Thanks for the write up and that is pretty awesome to spend that much time with them!! Re the stripe, I have it on my Z06 and initially I would look at it as I've never had a car with it before. But within a week I forgot about and on track never was distracted. I suspect it will be a non issue

    Ceramic vs Wax

    From my perspective and for context, I do detailing. I grew up on waxes and resisted shifting to the spray on sealants for a long time because no way a spray could be better :-) Well, I can tell you SiO2 solutions are amazing. For regular daily drivers, I use spray on options as they give...

    For context, I have many vehicles, several riders, and homeowners with same company for 30 years. Excellent credit, don't live in high crime area, no tickets, etc. I just added a Z06 and it was $75/mo and just checked Emira was $70/mo. Now that could change between now and when the cars...

    Alcantara vs Leather steering wheel choice

    I have alcantara on my C8 stingray (2 yrs) and Z06 (new) but leather on my other two cars. I like the alcantara better but you have to be more mindful of keeping it nice. Lotion, food, .... on your hands will affect the appearance but you can maintain using something like Colourlock if you...

    Emira OE exhaust Milltek active valve controller - Group Buy

    I think I'm in but two questions: - putting in track mode opens the valves? so this just does the same thing but in any mode? - is it normally expensive to ship to US for small items?

    I've gone through all the ups and downs with everyone over the past couple of years but my Z06 allocation came up about 9mo earlier than I expected.
