I think you should be a Lotus salesman/person

The Lotus is a good choose for a sunny Sunday fun car As much as I like Bimmers and Porsche I drive a Front load Garbage truck around Vancouver all day and you cant good more then a block with out seeing one They are Belly button cars ( every bodys got one ) The Lotus is a purists car all performance built to do one thing and do it well

Good luck with it

Oh and by the way I have seen a total of 3 differant lotus's in Vancouver I know there is more then that around you just doint see them

Unless your a small man or a women I would skip the lotus not just for size but it looks rediculus seeing a guy driving such a femanine car.

I would go for the NISSAN GTR it would destroy any car mentioned in this thread plus most other cars out there.

The GTR is a nice car and will most likely beat the Lotus in a straight line, and I'm sure a GTR handles fairly well, but there is no way a stock GTR will outhandle a stock Lotus.

I still vote for an Aerial Atom though! Or buy and old 1st or 2nd generation miata and modify it (if you are into that).

That thing may be virtually as quick as a 911 Turbo but man it's fugly!

Give me an Elise R. Almost as quick in a straight line (who only drives in straight lines?), much better handling & looks so much better.

oh & being a 5' 8" asian dude, an Elise is no problem

Im not sure where you guys get your info but the Nissan GTR has one of the best times on the nurburgring track in germany, and thats not a straight line. Beating out million dollar cars. Faster then the porche 911 turbo and carrera GT on straight and winding tracks.

Ok, so I'm not a small guy, about 6 feet and the size of a football player but I'm willing to drop 50 lbs just so I can fit in this car. I figure if I could fit inside my 350Z I'm pretty sure I could squeeze into a Lotus. As for the chick car comment, since when was a streetable race car a chick car .

I said it was a femanine car. I just think its funny seeing middle age men driving an elise. Just my opinion.
