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

all the thing is is a go-kart that gets 30+ MPG and seats another person. It hauls so much ass that I could not even imagine what it would be like to drive one. When I get the chance I am going to go test drive one with my dad, so that we can take it out without the salesman coming with us and we can see what it is really all about.
When I finish school at ITT and get a better job I am going to start saving up until I get a really really good job, at which point I will go ahead and buy my lotus and make some payments on it. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
