    I’m interested in the C8 partly cause I’ve never owned a car like it. I dd a modded Miata for 7 years which required ear plugs for road trips and now drive a tuned TT with yet another turbo 4. it’s fun to try new things. As I said before if the emira had a targa top I’d 100% buy it. The htc and...

    Lol $ wise I’m a stingray man (HTC $82k) every hater should go drive a pre owned post break in C8, you’ll dig it the most I’d buy forged wheels, titanium cat back and paragon lowering springs BAMM fast GT with open roof

    I’ve always been too cheap to ppf but as a nimbus man myself, that picture proves I will die if I get a rock chip on that gorgeous front.

    Thoughts on modifications

    Don’t know if you care but I’ve been shopping 718s everyday for a year. There are so many available it’s so easy for me to hard pass a car with a fire extinguisher (screams track car)

    I was lol during my Emira drive. It was so fun. I agree a big buck purchase should be like new sneakers

    First Emira Breakdown?

    Agree I was just hoping for no teething issues. As a new lotus guy, the schit show that is Hethel is a complete surprise. My greatest hope for the Emira is can it take me cross country every summer without stranding me, say, in the middle of the dragon, or Arches Park, or Black Hills. I have 2...

    First Emira Breakdown?

    I don’t embrace “stuff happens” in the case of Lotus. I wanted a new history of “lotus stuff no longer happens cause new factory”.

    First Emira Breakdown?

    Yeah for me the main advantage of c8 over Emira is the convertible. The main draw of Emira over C8 is driving feel. If the Emira even had a targa top I’d not consider the C8 for a second. The 718T in certified $60k form makes the most sense but my wife hates them. My guess (or hope) is these...

    I accept that but this is becoming a big factor in my car search. Also interesting is the 24 C8 may be getting a new version of the base small block 6.2 with more hp

    First Emira Breakdown?

    I’m on the 718 forum daily so I call bs on this. The % of fails are way less than these Emiras. BUT I will agree the C8 trans problems are def too frequent

    Options for replacement nose/wheel badges

    IYO, is it a violation to add some lotus badges like this? I love this look and if I buy a c8 I plan on putting the number 8 in the same location. Unless of course you guys hate it:)

    - feels small In summary, I really liked it: it feels special and great at road legal speeds this exactly for me as well. It felt intimate and very special to me too. Really enjoyed your review, prob cause I agree with all of it.:)
