So I was reading the latest Modified Mag the other day when I came upon an article on the lotus. They had created a dry carbon fiber body for it, dropping 730 pounds I believe it said. A Lotus' curb weight is 1776.9 (automatic), so with this carbon kit on a manual it is about 1000lbs or less. In a previous magazine, I dont remember which one, but they had a turbo kit for it that bumped it up quite a ways.
If I had 100,000 dollars then I could buy my fancy 48K Lotus, 20K on the carbon fiber body, and then spend the final 32K on engine mods I would have a 900 pound 300+HP rocket.....I want it NOW Any one else agree?? Oh yes, and is Lotus owned by Toyota? because the Lotus has the Celica engine in it... -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
 I'm not really an asshole, but I play one on the internet. **** Photobucket |

SCC had a turbo Elise from Forced Fed that bumps the HP to 250. 12,5 quarter, 1.08g skidpad. And the blue ones just look cool!
