Anyone got $38k to blow, you might win the bid. Hmm..Lozer's Type-R...Lotus. Lozer's Type-R...Lotus.

*Edit* Well whaddya know, factory rice

 

[Viper GTS]

Since when is a Lotus Esprit "rice?"

???

Viper GTS

 

[NFS4]

Ugly rims, huge as rear wing, and a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine tweaked to the max. No matter how much horsepower it has, it is still just a four and doesn't get my respect. And the chassis has been around since '76

1995 Lotus Esprit S4S

0-60 in 4.7
1/4 mile in 13.3

Good gas mileage

2.2L Turbocharged Inline 4

Base Price $75,995 U.S.

Very nice car. Does the "extended length" keyring (hanging from the ign switch) come with it?

I've always had a thing for those cars. I sat in one once, and I have to say that they are pretty uncomfortable. Unless you are a freak whos legs are offset to the right a good six inches.

 

[Viper Frag]

WTF is that BASURA?

NFS4 please show this guy a REAL car.

 

[Nessoldaccount]

Just look at the small picture on the right at the top of the page...so beautiful..

 

[yakko]

I second Viper GTS's response when did Lotus become rice?

 

[NFS4]

I'll show you a "real" car

 

[Nessoldaccount]

Huh? Are those 18" alloys? Well what do you know, factory rice!

 

[NFS4]

They look quite ugly to me Just like the rims on the Corvette are ugly in my eyes

 

[Nessoldaccount]

The rims on that Esprit are probably the nicest I have ever seen...PERFECT match with the car.

 

[tonyou]

I think this was discussed before, but when you say that something is rice does it have anything to do with Asian people?

I somewhat agree with nfs4s assessment.

A nice ride if you like the looks and that is personal but a tweaked 4 and old chassis?? Like the car but 38k??

Still like my 58 Vette back but 38K??? only if it satisfies a need and then go for it.

BTW, your money, your choice. ENJOY !

 

[thebestMAX]

NSF4--

Like the porsches a lot but feel that they are overpriced and I feel the same way about a 6 as you do about a 4. Well, guess that they are all overpriced in some way.

Enjoy your ride.

<< A nice ride if you like the looks and that is personal but a tweaked 4 and old chassis?? Like the car but 38k?? >>


Exactly, 38k for THAT? I mean as much as I dislike the new Corvette, you could get a Z06 model for about 2k more and get a much more reliable and faster car that is BRAND NEW with 0 miles on it.

 

[NFS4]

Sixes have way more balls than 4's and some have more balls than V8's The stock flat-6 in the 911 pumps out 300HP. The inline-6 in the BMW M3 pumps out 330HP.

Oops, nm...

 

[NFS4]

<< Wow NFS4, the &quot;xoom-dot-com-mobile&quot;!! AWESOME PIC! >>

If you want to be shown a nice car talk to NFS4.

 

[NFS4]

Come to think of it, just an hour ago, my hallmate across from me and I got into a heated debate over the the Esprit. He loved it and of course I told him I thought it was a piece of old, dried up dog sh!t, with the 3.5 liter V8 the only thing keeping the &quot;heap&quot; a little moist

He also didn't like the fact that I thought that the Camaro was too big, has a cheapass interior, and looks like crap (although I didn't knock it's engine and performance). He says that performance is all that matters while I countered that looks and reliablity/quality/workmanship should also factor into that equation.

 

[Viper Frag]

Exactly, you have a good point Brandon.
Looks aren't exactly everything but they are important.

 

[thebestMAX]

NSF4

Well, what does your room mate know?
Look at the Firebird for quality interior and performance.

You are right, a lot of 6s have good performance. My girlfriend just got a Grand Am V6 with Ram Air (hee hee, what a joke) but it is quite peppy.

Trans Am pictures

Maybe youve seen these before.

<< Hmm..Lozer's Type-R...Lotus. Lozer's Type-R...Lotus. >>



I was confused when I read this.

Lotus... Type R..

I thought: &quot;Wow! an Elise with a type-R engine??&quot;
