Too much power to weight - 1000hp in a Lotus Exige chassis

I've driven a super charged Exige, and it was a blast!!!!

N!

Classic

No Normy, no you cannot......not even remotely close. This does however shed some light on your general reality disconnect.

This sounds like a silly project, in the end a garage ornament/conversation starter. No one could actually drive something like that on the street.

Guys, I think you are wrong, what norm is hearing & feeling when dropping to 4th gear is the rear wheels locking up and shifting sideways..

What Normy is claiming is so patently false that he might as well have said that his 928 is also a float plane that gives him blowjobs while he drives.

A 1200 hp, sub-2k lb. 917 does not even go sideway or spin the tires with the application of power @ 90 mph. It's simple physics. He might as well have said that his car defies gravity.

Talk about opening up a can of crazy.

Looks like they had to stretch the crap out of the frame to fit a V8 in there....

and nice exhaust.... aimed right at the windscreen of the person behind you

When I was a kid I had a 1965 VW bug that could hit 65mph going down hill on the interstate.

And on the dirt roads of Vermont it was going sideways all the time.

Just sayin' :>)
