Absolutely stunning. Great year (I graduated HS). You know the design is near flawless when 37-yrs later the car is still an absolute show stopper. Thanks for the pics!

Sounds like an amazing career and I certainly appreciate your service and the sacrifices you made! My dad was Air Force F-100 pilot and always said his dream was to have a T-38 for a play toy.

Yes a bit off topic but I’ve been dying to ask this for a while. @brainf18 - I assume you fly or did fly F-18’s. Is there ANY car made that could remotely give you the same adrenaline rush?

Absolutely agree that we should be appreciative of all that contribute - and noting that Eagle7 has spent considerable money in doing so - but remember opinions and knowledge are two different things and if done in a constructive way there is value in questioning results (except KitKat who we...

While I would love to drive a Blackwing and am sure it's a capable car, the comparison with the Emira seems to be like comparing an apple to a beach ball. I just don't think they are remotely comparable.

Just for financial reasons alone I imagine it would be great to have the Countach back, and even more so that it is THE iconic sports car of that era.

Cars I wish I had back: - 1988 911 Turbo-look - 1988 944 Turbo S (silver rose) - 1992 911 C2 Cars I wish I would not have passed on: - 1989 911 Speedster - 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (bought the 92’ 911 instead for $4k more) - 1988.5 Lamborghini Countach (was $68k with only 6,000 miles on it)

It shouldn’t. Always thinned Testors paints when building models as a kid and it always dried the proper color.

Agree 100%

Would appreciate your assessment on if the fluid change improves smoothness of gear changing. Thanks

I’m sorry, as an engineer I have to say it’s not that simple. And I have yet to find manufacturer claims that their product frees up HP - and if it does and is measurable they would absolutely be touting it. That said, changing to a better fluid that creates smoother gear changes is absolutely...

A well presented assessment by a clearly QUALIFIED member. Thanks for the PROFESSIONAL insight.

Can you provide information as to what oil/fluid is making claims to free up wheel HP?

Pure jealousy right here!

Give the Jungfrau region a go. Few places in the world with such spectacular scenery.

Would love to drive that!

Great stuff Greg!

My exact spec in a country I so dearly love!

That is gorgeous. The one color that makes me second guess Seneca.

Awesome for you! I've been on their GT3 list for years now as well, but it feels very unrealistic. This provides me with a bit of hope!

I've got to ask - is your GT4RS allocation for sticker price? Also, how long have you been waiting? Even buying multiple cars from the Atlanta Porsche dealers through the years I've never been able to make "the list".

I was looking through the service manual today. Still blown away by the quality. Marty you are truly a pillar of the Lotus community and epitome of “contributing member”!

Here is Murano Green on a Porsche 928 my brother is restoring. Not very successful at launch but now commands a premium:

Rumors are that one is in the works. I would reach at to Greg at GRP (site sponsor).

Love Continental Tires! The best combination of performance and quietness. I see your twin is available: https://www.autosportdesigns.com/vehicles/2161/2020-lotus-evora-gt

Sounds spot on, unfortunately.

Thanks. Is it a car blog? An Emira journal?

Is this is a forum member? Curious as to what it is?

Definitely kudos to Eagle7 for the trouble and expense for the benefit of the community.

An Elise as your daily for nine years?! If I was Lotus I would give you a free Emira in exchange for signing a medical waiver! Guessing you either have a back doctor on speed dial or are a circus contortionist by profession.

In general, KEF should trump Bose by a factor of 10. It’s not terrible, just tough to hide a large enough driver to produce bass at a depth most are used to these days. Really the space limitations of the car as opposed to the equipment.

GRP also suggests this as an adequate gasket which is widely available at local auto stores: FelPro 61473 exhaust ring gasket https://www.autozone.com/gaskets/exhaust-flange-gasket/p/fel-pro-exhaust-flange-gasket-61473/206009_0_0

Probably get one if my Porsche Cayman allocation falls through………..

If I was to have a "do-over" (I'm a member of the very exclusive Seneca club), that would be my exact spec. Osmium silver may be the best color yet for this car.

+1 - Continental tires are a great combination of grip, wet traction, longevity, and are quiet as well. I typically run Continentals on all my cars once the factory tires need replacing.

Kidding of course MIGZ! I couldn’t understand any of it! Just a guess, but the OEM part is $60 each I suspect these would be the same or less.

From what I read they are $ 很少錢 each.
