Hey guys my s2000 is in the shop. So I rented a lotus to drive for 3 days. Man the fit and finish of the lotus is crap. But the things you can do in that car is mind blowing!!! I took it up angeles crest highway and was chasing down bikes!!! A cbr 600 rr had to get out of my way!!! it was sweet. I can only hope to mod my s2000 so it can handle close to the lotus.

 

Cheaper to just buy an Elise, actually.

 

oh man...I wish we could RENT lotus somewhere.
damn...

 

You can. At least, I have. I rented an Exige for a session on the track. Not cheap -- it was $200 for 30 minutes. Fun enough to make it worth it, however.

 

Chasing down bikes?!?

While fast, the Elise won't catch a bike unless it wants to be caught.

 

I'm sure an Elise can chase down a bike on curvy roads. Bikes are muuuch slower in corners (esp compared to an Elise). There was a piece on Top Gear at some point where a Carrera4 beat a bike around a race track.

 

I went for my 1st autox with my S and loved it sunday. There was an elise there and it just owned people. But then i looked inside and as like WTF is this fisher price toy!
Im sure its fun to drive...for the the first 1hr but i could not drive that everyday

 

Ya this finish on the lotus's arent very nice, but then again they are designed pretty much for the track with street driving in mind. I would love the chance to drive one for awhile.

 

Find a road with tight enough turns, and you can chase down bikes in the S.

Don't forget that in the corners 4 > 2.

 

I've chased down bikes in malibu, right after the rock store. I think we all know that stretch is all ours.
