It shouldn’t be far off. But I also am not as familiar with the newer version of the gt4. The older one and the evora gt were quite close with the same driver and seemed to boil down to which had the fresher tires.

Exactly.

Then why did lotus say the emira is quicker around the track than the evora was?????

Wait you mean a caged non street legal car built solely for competition shouldn’t be compared with a production street car??? That’s just crazy talk lol Personally I think the gt4 Porsche and the evora gt were direct competitors, so it would be crazy NOT to compare the emira to one, but I...

one more time, he did NOT review the I4 version. still buying the car in spite of the unhappiness about the performance decrease is NOT a sign that those people aren't unhappy with it still. I would bet big money that every single deposit holder would prefer to have 7200rpm and 416hp if...

^^^ you are just taking it the wrong way if you think his review was comparing the emira to a deuce in the punchbowl lmao... the 1st 7 minutes were all positive, as were some comments after that point. This wasn't a total bash piece at all. And I must have totally missed that car reviews are...

Nothing he said was false. Get over it.

It's funny to me to see the exact type of people he's talking about in that article post in this thread... His review was fine, you just didn't like it. Get over it. Makes you look like an idiot. I mean seriously, reviews are inherently opinion pieces. None of what he said was false...

worse, it's not even just cutting the trunk lid, it's cut into the quarter panels from what I saw.

that gt4 wing mounts in a way that would require a lot of modification IMO to the street car. I'd also like something similar though that is functional and adjustable.

I think double quote of replying to himself speaks volumes lol...

has the nimbus one been doing any runs?

seems like it's likely blue, they made at least one dark blue one already....

I’d agree on the 911, but not so much on the rest.

probably the best all around choice. It will depend on how many track days I end up doing with the car.

I'm also in the sport w/ goodyears camp. Cup2's cycle out toooooo fast for me so I'll kill the goodyears and then move to goodyear supercar 3 most likely. lots of good options in the sizes needed IMO.

Yeah, i've been consistently surprised by how negatively his review was taken. I'm not sure what he really expected to change with a carryover drivetrain, but the comments weren't "wrong". I hope they run timed laps against the gt4 when both are on cup2's. I have zero experiences with the...

mmmmmm Pitt may be my favorite track so far... that place is fun!

yeah I understood all that, my point was only that I don't even really care if tq/hp would fall off or flatline after 6800 if that helps meet emissions or whatever, I'd still rather have it spin higher. It'd have to fall off severely to make the rpm not worthwhile.

the rpm drop bothers me more than the hp drop honestly, both are minimal, but staying in a gear with better mechanical advantage is always better, so any additional rpm is good. unless the engine falls completely on its face anyway, but we know that's not the case here since prior versions...

Given your deposit date, you will have a LOT more info and reviews available by the time you can order the car. You should have no issue finding a test drive between now and then IMO. I wouldn't stress over it. I don't disagree about the compromise issue though, but every single car out...

valid point, i would think it's easily reversible prior to taking it in at least though...

I don't know if it's across the board, but the ford mustang dropped 10 hp from 2021 to 2022, so I suspect there are some emissions issues causing oems to back off a bit. Hopefully the cat delete will wake it up a little audibly and power wise.

I don't fully agree... whatever i'm driving on track or on street has to be something I actually like and enjoy driving. A ford fiesta would never ever be on that list and if it's lapping a ferrari (assuming a fast one haha) then that's a driver issue in most cases. Most people don't do...

I think they'd be similar on the same tires, but could be wrong.

i'd bet money they only meant alignment settings, not suspension geometry.

I get that, but it's a reasonable estimate still. Lots of variable in this world could mess up any estimated timeline.

awesome, thanks!

Is this a guess or what Lotus is saying? I've been uncertain about when I can expect a car, so hopefully this means my late August deposit will get me a early/spring 23 delivery... fingers crossed!

I think the only variable is the I4 FE cars haven't yet been allocated.

damn man... if it looks like that I'll be sooooo stoked! great work!

I think the evora gt is listed as 0-60 in 3.8 seconds (motortrend tested at 4.0 seconds though), listed curb weight is 3175 lbs and the emira lightest version is supposed to be 3097 lbs, so I think all this concern about the listed 0-60 is kinda pointless. It can't be that different when the...

which model did that? considering they weigh about the same and have less power and torque than the emira from what I can see.... so find that hard to believe. the challenge cars that weigh 500 lbs less are listed at 3.9 seconds I know very little about the ferrari variants though, so very...

It's only erroneous if people don't buy the cars though... I've seen very few claim to pull the plug on their deposits.

Pretty sure they've always modded the gearbox in that manner for the Evora's, i don't believe this is anything new or related to handling more power at all.

Who in they are right mind wouldn't?

you sure you didn't read an april fools article?

Real heroes don't wear capes hahahahahaha!

while I'm sure the bespoke tires will be good, there are other options in the size, so you won't have to wait for the lotus specific tires if you don't want to. ps4s and supercar3 would be excellent options and readilly available. glass and other emira specific parts though I have no idea.

lol, that's not even the page for the explorer though! I do see 10 choices for the mustang though....
