I think the aesthetics of the Evora GT lends itself to wilder colors. Dynamically, I would think that the Emira could be very easily tuned to feel almost identical to the Evora GT, and vice versa.

How does your Vette compare?

Also, I am sure that the factory will come up with some harder edged edition of the Emira, at which point I’ll consider buying those factory parts form my Emira. On the other hand, I went down the endless modification rabbit hole on my Mustang GT and made that car, let’s say, and acquired...

My Emira has the sport suspension. I’d like to drive it back to back with an Evora GT to compare. I rented a 2020 Evora GT in 2021, which is what led my to buying the Emira. I seem to remember that car being more direct than my Emira, but I don’t know if that was because (1) I had never driven...

I love it! The Evora GT looks something like the coolest futuristic tuner/race car imaginable from Gran Turismo when I was a teenager (late 90s/early 2000s). The Emira looks more like a low volume, super sophisticated sports car from an Italian design house! I debated whether to buy an...

Depends on your state’s lemon law, if they have them.

I would be fine with the dealership’s “terms” of repairing under warranty. Why? Documentation, documentation, documentation. Every phone conversation, email, text. Time, date, conversation as precisely as possible. Call log, etc. I don’t know what the laws in your state are, but in Texas, it’s...

I'd like to drive the car everywhere, everyday, but alas, I can't. But! I did get to take it out last night, and now that I'm no longer afraid to put it in track mode.... <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/l0HU7yHIK6Nc3WcE0" width="480" height="270" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed"...

I don't think PPF is absolutely necessary or that you're an idiot for skipping it. However, I did get mine full PPF for the following reasons: (1) I plan on keeping the car for the long haul. This is likely the first and last true sports car that I will buy. I want to keep it as nice as...

My guess is $122k if it sells at all. I think there are enough people backing out that you could probably find what you want at a dealership.

Let's play a Price-Is-Right game on if it sells, what it sells for. Winner gets a pair of Tillett seats with color matched OEM leather pads, and JUBU 500 power upgrade.

Alternatively, I rented a 2020 Evora GT on Turo while on a 10th anniversary wedding trip with my wife. That experience changed my life! When we got back from that trip I knew I had to have a Lotus. So in a weird way I owe my Emira ownership to some brave soul who decided to Turo their Lotus...

I emailed McNeil (makers of weathertech) in the hopes they’ll make some good stuff for us. Fingers crossed!

I’m in Texas too. I need WeatherTech to hurry up and make a sunshade and floor mats.

Were those mostly race/track-day/autocross cars? Any dedicated street cars?

I have swapped stock shocks and dampeners for Bilsteins on an S197 Mustang, but not for anywhere near that kind of money. Not too long ago, a little bit more than the $7,000ish this setup costs would have bought you a very high quality double A arm setup with tubular K member...

That’s quite a chunk of change! Does anyone have experience swapping out stock for big dollar coilovers on an Evora GT or other sportscar?

Seems fair! Are there any unrestricted highways in France? No speed limit?

I realize the break-in has been discussed in other threads, so this is probably a redundant conversation. I agree that salesmen are not necessarily the font of product information that they should be. I have found that I am almost always much more informed about what I want to buy than the...

Did the windshield film alter the clarity? Have you had it on any other car? How does it age over time?

My salesman told me that there was no break in. Explicitly. I asked directly. This is not what I have been doing, as I didn't think that it made any sense. Did y'all's salesmen tell you any differently? Also, did they give you any schedule to follow?

Not quite North Texas, but not too far. Waco Bulldog Auto Detailing Full coverage Xpel with ceramic $7,000 tax included I am happy with their work!

Thanks!

...and yes I immediately realized I misspelled the title of the thread. I would fix it if I knew how!

Hello, Does any have a preferred OBD II reader/scanner that they would recommend? I would be willing to pay for more advanced diagnostic features, however, it is my understanding that such a scanner may not be available right now. The genesis of my question is that my car has a CEL right now...

I love the color!

Very nice!

Could you take a photo with a little more light so we can see the detail? If you showed me that wheel off the car, I would have said no way. But… I think it looks pretty dang cool! That wheel, plus hethel yellow with upper black pack, makes me think of Hot Wheels in the best possible way. Not...

Does anyone have some photos of the seams or fit of their PPF? For example, the Xpel I did was done off of templates, so there was a cut out around the rear LOTUS letters. One the one hand, it would have been nice if the film was fit closer to the letters. The same thing goes for other trim...

Full Xpel thought the dealer where I bought my car was listed as $8,495. No mention of ceramic.

$6,466 + 8.25% state sales tax = $7,000 all in for full PPF plus ceramic over the PPF here in central Texas

The 550 Maranello and the F355 are the last Ferraris that I thought were really desirable. Do you still have the Maranello?

I haven’t been able to find any. As much as floor mats, I’d like to find something to protect the threshold.

The Emira is such a good design!

This is enormous for me. It’s actually the main reason I didn’t even consider a Corvette.

I’ll admit I could be completely wrong because I’ve never driven a huracan. The Emira is a completely different animal, with a different focus. The Lamborghini is more of a sledgehammer car to me. AWD, raucous, flamboyant. I love the spirit of the car, but it’s entirely different than an...

The gap is power between the 2 is pretty big, and a supercharged 6 will never howl like a NA V10…. But I would imagine that the Emira would feel much more alive than a Lamborghini in almost every other way. It’s physically smaller, lighter, RWD, and probably changes direction much faster. The...

The most important difference is that you can’t sing “Here I am! Rocked you like a HURACAN” authentically while driving.

Yeah, it's a heck of a lot of fun if it's in good shape and wasn't ridden hard and put up wet, and much more likely a heck of a lot of trouble and expense...

That’s a heck of a car for that price
