Had the privilege of tracking with a blue Lotus at Thunderhill this past Sunday. Car has great acceleration, and I see many are a fan of it. I could be a fan of the cars abilities, but I'm not so hot on its looks. I'm sure I'm in minority, my girl said it was one of the nicest looking cars at the track... but I don't see it.

Congrats on the purchase.

TBH i got very bored of the s2000. However, it kept me the happiest the longest compared to any other car. I got bored of my gti after 6 months. s2000 kept me happy for 4 years. Granted 2 of them were supercharged.

I also am selling the s2000 b.c i want to get into a s2k CR later on. and for now I'm putting the $$ away from the s2000 for an atom. Gotta pay cash for the Atom. Ill be buying a CR maybe 6-12 months after i get the atom.

Ill be taking my exige S hardtop off once in awhile tho.

Bought a 2009 Lotus Exige S240 today. 2900 miles. Red interior. It had the Blade 300 kit already installed by a local lotus dealer. put down 264 whp.

Initial impressions during my test drive were amazing. The second i got out of 2nd gear i was sold. I had to have it.
This car pulls and handles like nothing I've ever driven before. The handling is insane. The steering feel is astonishing. No power steering.
It felt like i could feel every little thing the front tires touched. I can't wait to get this thing to a track

The only car i want to get after this is the Atom, which i plan on buying next summer (2013).
1M will be the daily now. Got rid of the GTI.
Congrats on the car, shoot some video on the track for us.
