the last Lotus i saw did not look so mean;
it looks mean until you stand next to it
You can't do anything to a Lotus to make it look mean. They are just plain ugly.
lol Poor Lotus, it feels so left out with all those awesome Corvettes in the back.burnzz wrote:

Lotus's (Lotusi?) never look mean, they look poised and delicate, which is exactly what they are. Around your average track i wouldn't be surprised if it beat supercars times into the ground.

You could argue that all those big block american cars are ugly (i dont think so, but i know many that do).

I like pie.
Imagine, that car looks 100000x better than those Corvettes in the background. And the black version looksRyan wrote:

But the lotus is so much cooler, and HP is basically for people who don't know how to drive but still want to feel like they can drive fast.
"High performance version of the coupe". Like the normal Exige is a slug!!
Lotuses are awesome. I have had a go in an elise, and I would love to own one. Unlikely though.
Burnzz, is that yellow elise your car or something?

Friend of mine has a Lotus Elise with a turbo on it - thing is unbelievable.

OT: I love lotus. My uncle is seriously contemplating buying an exige i'll show him this.
i plan on owning an Exige.
Not my favourite but still a nice car, something to bomb around in.
P.S. I can see this becoming a Lotus v Corvette thread very soon.

i went to car show this summer. if you remember the avatar, it was from the head on angle of this car.
i do well thank you, i just don't see me owning an elise this year.
If your uncle wants to be able to daily drive the car, tell him to buy an Elise.

I think the only advantage the corvette might have is in HP. But HP on its own is useless; the really important number, for people who can drive, is HP/weight. And even there, that's only for straight-line driving. The Lotuses aren't only good at that; their strength lies in their light weight, and thus cornering ability.

Goddamn that's sexy.
I fucking love Lotus, and that one in the OP is just pure awesome.
yeah because new vettes cant corner >/ I have driven both and i'd take the vette because I just cant stand how the lotus looks, the matte black one is not so bad. the elise was not comfortable to drive the vette is not much better for comfort but not many performance cars are. how many of you have even driven one or the other? hard to really argue the point without doing so.TSI wrote:

Just for the record, Scura (Σκουρα) in greek means dark-coloured
