RE: Raced a Lotus...

I dont think there is a turbo'd lotus. They did come out with a supercharged one. I think it is called the Lotus Exige S, but im not sure

I don't see why people would want a car like that as a DD, but I would understang owning this car for a road course... but then I would go with the atom

The Atom is bad ***, but it's not street-legal in the United States is it? I know you could get them registered in Britain but I'm pretty sure not so much in the US. You could drive the Lotus to the track and back home again, rain or shine. I know for a fact that the Atom doesn't have a top to it lol

they run those cruddy-*** 1.8L toyota engines, but the frame of the car weighs a grand total of 220Lbs (aircraft grade aluminum). The engine puts out 190HP and the curb weight is 1984 lbs.... 0-60 in 4.9.. wow, lol.
