Uh...hey boss you said SG'd Lotus and posted a Saleen Mustang pic....That a witty contort on your part or did you just not notice all the tell tale "I'm not a Lotus" symbols on the car?

It is a nice S281 though.

 

Now it's a nice...

thats my car dorks. its my sig

 

low rider truck what?

 

Yeah, that's what I thought. It did look like you were associating your comment with the pic, though. No harm bro.

 

no harm done. but just think about it. a s/c elise. TRD just came out with a supercharger for it

 

I'm sure it would be great for "Fast and the Furious III"!!

It's just me, but I can't seem to get past its Toyota heritage. I don't think it will be as comfortable as my S4 either.

 

The only thing with adding more power to the lotus is you unbalance the car. Too much power in a car can be a bad thing...believe it or not. I think 210-220 at the wheels would be great in that car. Its nimble and designed for the twisties


Side note is your Saleen stock....so to speak They put out what.. 370whp from Steves shop? Curious. I always wanted a S281, before I drifted from m domestic roots and went to the darker foreign side, and can't remember the power numbers any more.

He left, but i can tell you, last dyno it put out 500rwhp.

 

Wow Imola - pretty impressive! enjoy! I may (be forced!) to go your route if my turbos don't hold out. My mechanic tells me they are leaking oil and it might only be a matter of time - boo hoo. If I have to replace them I will defintly go KO4s - and then I imagine we'll talk...I know I'll need downpipes..not sure what else...new breaks as you said and perhaps a chip UG...(hopefully not all at once...KO4s are bad enough...) - I'd like a few more years to ponder this over however...

OK - so what triumph did you get? TR6?(oops just saw your post - 1948 eh? I bet its nice...) ...very nice for tooling around. And yeah - the convertable experience is goof in and of itself without having to have massive burn it up performance. I can still peel it out pretty good in my Stang though - to the point where - if I wanted I could (and do) beat most cars on the road....though (relaxed) cruising around is really where its at...
