Lotus Elise...

With plans to drop the twin turbo V-8 from the Esprit...

The car currently weighs around 800lbs, (right?), and with only a sub 3 liter sub 170hp 4 cylinder manages under 4 secs to 60. It beats EVERY mass produced car in handling, and fun... Think about the same car with a lightweight, all aluminum twin turbo V-8.

Since you brougt up how "compromised" the 911 really is, I thought I'd share.

If I had one, and you dropped an inline 6 in that thing... Well, I'd feel bad for you, but keep it to myself.

But hey, your car, your money, your tastes, if you're happy, why should it matter what I or anybody else thinks?
