Well stated 100% agree...and Im coming off from owning an Elise for over 20 years.

I'm really trying to understand how one can equate the driving dynamics and feel of a Lotus being the same driving experience as a Tesla based on a transmission being auto or not. As if a Lotus is purely defined by the mediocre stick shifter. Are you really serious? Do you even own a Lotus? It's...

European market spec or US?

I went down this road at looking at McLaren 570 and the MC 20. But the bottom line is for the 97,000 I paid for the Emira brand new under warranty it just didn't make sense for me to go to those very expensive to maintain cars with warranties that were already coming to explration. The Emira I...

I have all the updates and the DCT is very fast. I wish people would stop talking about the delays that perhaps reflect an older software version

I've Have no such issue as t all and don't know of any who have

I am curious what issues are you talking about. The DCT in my car has been exceptional. I don't know if you're working off old data or if you just going off of one or two people's opinions. But I'm here to tell you it is so much faster than a regular auto and/or standard car

Nice work guys

That's fair and true about the sub forums.

He missed a few points on how the paddle shifters function

For future clarity can you mention to which variant you are talking about when posting

I just see the V6 supercharger platform as being almost 20 years old

Yeah well I'm thinking my much lighter I4 500 horsepower Emira is more in line with what a Lotus should be

If anyone is in South Florida and wants to put these theories to test let me know

I agree I walked off the street and had one 3 days later lol

In essence, a torque converter is like a smooth, comfortable automatic, while a DCT is a faster, more engaging automatic that prioritizes performance

Yes my point was when you had eventually come out with the i-4 version how it would be a comparison in terms of protection was my inquiry

I'm not sure why you attributing me comparing the two. I was not

Low 11 second 1/4 mile (draggy pro on a hot summer day). I want to drop 200lbs and would love to get it to crack 10 seconds. Then we have a proper supercar

Thank you. It was a risk but I think it paid off

Yes and running Map4

Exactly, it's the slowest of the variants

Anyone want to do a friendly run and compare the two? South Florida area

O It wasn't that big of a difference actually. However the JB4 was a much bigger difference

I think my biggest interest is how well it maintains all the protections. It's my understanding the JB4 allows this to be the same as AMG designed it and unmolested

I think since you have a v6 auto it would have been important to know. That is a very rare combo. Not sure why that would matter to be honest. I do not believe there are many tuning differences of the engine depending on transmission

Yeah I just love how people throw a grenade in the room and just walk out... eyeroll

The issue was they were making more than 400hp not less

i have my own thread with the results JB4 and draggy

I only know of one app. What are you referring too

But i have with my draggy pro

I had a 0.6 sec decrease in the quarter mile time (map 4). I think that's pretty substantial. Whats more notable is what I feel when driving around It's like the torque is instantly there and the car just goes quicker easier. So the drivability is what is most noticeable. Everything hits a...

My car is a nasty lil bitch now on map 4. Lots of snap crackle and pop too

Since you bought it and now selling it as hot garbage. Can you elaborate on your 180 concerning the product?

Awesome

Looking forward to hearing about this I4 solution. I can't imagine it making more than the other piggy solution that's just shy of 500hp.

I have your JB4 replacing my TDI unit. Why is it your unit only has 2 sensor inputs (intercooler boost and manifold boost ) while my TDi had those in addition to Cam/rpm sensor. Does it not use this information unless you have the obd2 connection. Assuming it did not how does if know the cam/rpm...
