I dont think i called you middle aged. But a 6 foot tall football player might look funny driving that car as well.

I wanna race too like i said my crown vic has got enough work done to it to pass most of the cars mentioned on a straight away it will fry the rubber off the wheels the best part is i can do all of this while being imensly comfortable remember there is no replacement for displacement the cars youve mentioned with the exception of the viper all have 6 bangers at best the next step for my car is to add a supercharger to it and really wake up that motor im expecting to bring it up to 650 rwhp dont belive me check this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAWuH...eature=related
anyways its a cheap way to have one of the fastest most comfortable cars out there

Now, I may be biased here gentlemen, but speaking of a small explosive charge....
I gotta say you could always pony up 6 or 7 grand for a mint 1g eagle talon and then put another 4 or 5 into the engine and drivetrain and be putting out 450 at the wheels...

Thats what i did.

I guess I should mention at this point that I am currently building a project car as a hobby. Me and my dad have built hot rods all my life together and I've always owned an old school VW beetle since I was 15. So I'm currently building a 1964 Canadian Standard VW Beetle. Bone stock interior except a roll cage, Factory color, Lowered a bit with polished five spokes and M&H cheater slicks out back. Powerplant will be a 2332 cc turbocharged (20psi), fuel injected, nitroused VW based mill that I'm hoping will put out at least 500 horse before the 125 shot of juice.


Yahooo

Just wondering if you ended up getting a Lotus. I've been looking into them pretty seriously lately. Like yourself, having a tough time deciding between the Exige and the Elise....

If you have the money for the Exige go for it. Its faster and looks 100% more sexy compared to the Elise. The Elise is still a great car but more of an entry level lotus, simlar to buying a 1 series BMW.

Which btw, right now as much as I hate BMW drivers god i am in love with the 335. Saw a white coupe last night and those are gorgous cars. I haven't had the chance to driven 1 yet (perks of being a mechanic) but the 328 and 330's felt like a really heavy car. Hopefully the performance out of the 335 makes up for how heavy they are.

Than again with lotus remember you have to be a small guy for these cars. 6' is the tallest and anything over 190pounds and your going to feel cramped in them. None the less a great car and built for performance and handling.
