The lotus arrive and drive day I went to - which included trashing one on a mini autocross course - the organizers - one of which was from Lotus USA - touted the engine - mentioned that someone had mechanical overrev (to 12,300 rpms) and floated the valves - and that Lotus replaced the engine under warranty. I was a litle suprised - said from the black box - he achived 138 mph - did a 5 to 3rd downshift and weeeeeee clunk.

90% of the guys that attended were guys that tracked their cars -
