Oh wow I have a 2 year old....this is going to be in my cart so soon. Nice find!

I think a carpool would be fun if we're able to pick up on the same day. I'm not sure how many deliveries they'll be able to accommodate at one time but if it works out with Cape Fear, I'm in.

That's beyond my area of expertise in terms of the peak torque throughput as it seems puzzling to me. Based on the charts, though, the freer-breathing manifolds and cats in the 460 definitely appear to give it much more oomph at low RPMs. I think that will make it FEEL quite a bit faster than...

Those places are almost always a rip-off and I don't consider them an indicator of the second hand market (at least here in the USA). I've been offered numbers like $3-4K for a vehicle that I then proceeded to sell easily in the used market for twice that amount. At one time I requested a...

The windshield wiper issue is definitely not news but I hadn't heard of the others. I'm not sure how embellished the story is vs. what the actual safety hazards are, but judging by the dismissive nature of the Emira's value vs. the GTS 4.0 at the end of the article, I'd wager that this guy is a...

Yeah good call on the 7.2K RPM. It does appear that's what they rev it out to. Also notice where the peak power is in the below translated numbers from the following screenshot (hint: it's materially beyond the factory cut-off): 7,200 RPM redline 464hp @ 7,070rpm 360ft lb torque @ 4,630rpm...

I very much agree with this. I've been very fortunate with my car ownership where I've gained on a few cars but they were much, much cheaper and somewhat rare cars that I was able to sell more for a year or two later. In almost all cases, cars are a depreciating asset (especially new ones)...

I may not have my Emira, but I got some neat gifts from the father in law this year...

My understanding from JUBU product descriptions is that some of their ECUs/tunes allow for a higher redline but I'd highly doubt it's anywhere near 8K. I'd be happy with 7,000-7200 and not have it cut the power so hard although admittedly I didn't get much of a chance to test the rev limiter...

With all the "niggles" and annoyances reported, I have never heard this, either. I would imagine some of our worldwide Emira owners could chime in here. I had the windows down in the demo car at at least 50mph and I noticed no heat whatsoever. Hard to believe this is a real issue or it...

Welcome to the forums and great color choice! I'm sure in person it looks even more stunning. I hope you (and we) get to enjoy the Emira very very soon!

I agree this would be beyond low class if it were in fact true. However, based on this one screenshot I think it's far too hasty to immediately state as a fact that the dealer actually hacked the charity. I cannot fathom a legitimate business doing something like that in such a public fashion...

Are you sure that is Meridian? Looks more like Atlantis to my eyes...

So admittedly I didn't do much listening while driving so I can't comment directly on the road/engine noise working against the system. What I can say, however, is that while parked it was very clear and very loud at something like 30-40% volume if I recall correctly. It's difficult for me to...

I wouldn't worry too much. I personally thought the KEF system was amazing during my test drive. I think most of the people who are unhappy with it don't have the right inputs/equalizer settings. In my BMW's Harman Kardon setup, my Apple Play music sounds mediocre but once I play it from...

Wow, that is an absolutely glowing review. We're almost there, people!

Pretty sure it's Atlantis Blue which is IMHO the best on this car (I'm a 1.0 so I'm a Nimbus)

I have a feeling it (EPA approval) is still pending. If not, what specific rationale is there for non-CARB state buyers to not be able to take delivery? I just haven't seen any concrete reasoning for this. It makes no sense to be concerned about transfer from non-CARB states to CARB states as...

Man that is cheap and 5K miles is plenty for me. Perhaps I'll give them a call..... EDIT: Not looking good at the onset: EDIT #2: Just for funsies, I thought I'd grab an estimate for the Evija as well :) That's just nuts.

Except how many people will realistically buy a $2M+ car? Of course there will be some affluent buyers but I would think the Emira would be more "valuable" to have in the showroom for the average person passing by. The people buying an Evija wouldn't be doing it because of window shopping...

Sorry to hear your situation. That does seem a bit unfair in the grand scheme of things. But hey, your spec is amazing and I'm trying to fight myself from being a bit jelly of that Atlantis Blue (me being a 1.0 I had no choice in the matter). It'll be worth the wait!

I really really love that color. I think I'd switch from Nimbus to that if I had the choice. That spec w/ silver wheels would be right on the money for me.

TX seems like somewhat of an outlier in this graphic

Is it just me or does the Emira look SO MUCH BETTER without a front plate?? Sorry for those of you in front plate states.

Yes, whatever he used to record that audio was epic. It's so hard to know whether it's the exhaust that sounds great or if the audio capturing device is just superior in some videos over others. Alas, 1st world problems. However, I want to do whatever he did in this video.

I'm very interested in this as it is likely one of my early mods so thank you for posting. Unfortunately, I can't tell much of a difference in these videos. It's a bit more noticeable in the ones that Milltek posted on YouTube although I feel like they cheated on the revs a bit by revving the...

Not sure if this was posted yet but Lotus Cape Fear in Wilmington, NC had 5 Emiras arrive yesterday. 3 blue, 1 red, and 1 nimbus. Mine hasn't arrived yet but I imagine it'll be there before Christmas as it was on one of the boats a week ago. Some of them have been arriving quite dirty. I...

This just doesn't seem like a wise parenting strategy to me, nor a particularly safe one. But hey, if you got it, flaunt it I guess!

Hah same here....is 38 old enough for a mid-life crisis? If not, I'm sure I'm getting close. All I could afford in college years was my $2,000 1987 Toyota MR2 but I loved that thing. I couldn't imagine being able to drive an Emira in college. It probably would've gotten me in so much trouble.
