My opinion on the Lotus Elise for Macboy

[V. Barbarino]

it's a piece of shit!

only the fucking europeans would forego not adding a monster push rod v8, instead, they cut the weight of the car down and put in a lawn mower engine.

For the price it is, and thelack of safely of the car in a crash, buy a vette...

Thank you sir, you know your shit, that's why I asked you.

also, it's a limited supply, thus inflation on the price, also how many lotus dealers have you ever seen???

I do have to give Saleen credit. If it was not for him, I might have ended up w/ an RX-8.

only us dumb americans need an antiquated push rod to generate good power since they lack the skill to make superior technology. if gas cost as much here as it did in europe the US would follow suit real quick.

THOSE COBRA FIGURES ARE TOTAL BULLSHIT

2004 cobra EPA - 16 city 20 hwy
Z06 - (ill give you this one) 19 + 28

only a dumbass would say a push rod engine is technologically advanced. it is antiquated. tell me whats the gas mileage on that viper? thats total ignorance to only look at horsepower figures.

all that power, and the viper is beat by exotics with engines less then half its size. thats my point. gas is only going to get more expensive. europe is overrun with 4 bangers and inline 6s because of that.


EDIT: in a way im just playing devils advocate, as i do on here often.

If you can afford the gas you can afford the car. If you can afford the car you can afford the gas. Something like that.
