I don't know, I think I like the california model better
the Exige S 240 model is actually my favorite. but i thought that limited edition model looked sexy. add in the factor that lotus says only 50 models worldwide will be produced, i think it makes it sexier. that's just my opinion.
The Exige 240s is a sick little bastard with some serious power, none of the Lotus offerings are very comfortable though and tend to suffer from interesting electrical issues like the door locks going apeshit.
This is pure sex on wheels, I saw one the other day and almost messed my pants. I think it's the only thing on the island with a louder exhaust note than the Duc :o

530hp, 3.6s 0-60, 7.1 0-100, 204mph actual top speed
i'm just amazed that a 1.8 liter engine can produce 240hp. i doubt my malibu gets 200hp. and i've got a 3.0 liter. the lotus also doesn't weigh next to nothin either. i doubt i'll ever own one but it's nice to drool over what's available. maserati makes a sexy car too. and i agree on porche's. i find them dead sexy. that would have to be my dream car. :thumb:
but i don't see me with $192k to drop on a car any time soon! :icon_mrgreen:
Lotus definitely has the market cornered for performance bang for your buck. The Exige runs with the big dogs pretty easily while costing a fraction. Whenever the hell I finish school, I've promised myself a Caymen, I love the lines on those things and they aren't that absurdly priced (50k new, certified used for about 30k)
ahhh...such sexy machinery! :icon_mrgreen: :cheers:
the wife wants a lambo. we stoped at a dealership on our way to colombus once. they let us walk around. no sales guy buggin me. it was nice. i was upfront with them and told em i just wanted to look. :icon_mrgreen:
Honestly, seeing a few Lambo's in real life kinda killed it for me. I don't know what it is but they just seem like cheap imitations compared to Ferrari :dunno_white: A guy I know said there are only 3 names in cars you need to remember: Porsche, Jaguar and Ferrari......He's a certified Tech for all of em. Ohhhh and the bastard wants to trade me his POS Harley for my Duc :laugh: :laugh:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: i'd take a ferrari over a lambo any day. there was an f-430 i believe it was that was in that showroom as well. jaguar makes sexy cars too. i just wished someone could make a car that's actually attainable on a 35k a year pay. something that is dead sexy. kick ass performance. and like i said, it should be fairly affordable. decent gas milege would be a plus.
Hell, you can grab '05 Elise's for 25k.......might be a stretch fittin it in but that's not bad at all for the benefit you get out of the car.
I love the F430, there's a few of em driving around the island, I saw a 599GTB the other day though and I think my heart stopped for a minute. I need to meet these guys daughters :icon_twisted: the age should work out about right :laugh:
i don't think i'd have much problem fiting into a lotus. i'm only bout 5'6 with my work boots on. :laugh: so you're gonna find you a rich lil daddy's girl huh? :laugh:
i think it would be a very hard decision though if i had $200k i could spend on a car. hmmm...... :dunno_white: it's easier to make choices like that when your price range is lower. :laugh:

The damn things are so low to the ground everyone has to duck to get in.
rich little daddy's girl........................yeah, the level of spoiled bitchiness I can tolerate is in direct proportion to how much her parent's are worth............wow I'm a bad person.
If I had $200k to spend on a car, I would buy that D16RR on ebay for 75k, buy a nice 911 for another 75k and keep the other 50 to help pay for insurance :icon_rolleyes:
IIRC the elise/exige uses the 4cyl. from a toyota celica. so you get sex plus reliability. and dammit, when OP said car sex, i was expecting ........ :laugh:

I drove by there today. Can you believe that place?! I lambo dealership with at least 50 lambos in marysville... You gotta wonder how many they actually sell.
My dad hauls cars sometimes in Florida, and he said that a lot of the lambos he's hauled have had tons of problems.
buck,
that dealership is nice inside. they had more than just lambo's when we were there. lots of nice cars. even a few bikes. :thumb: you should stop in there sometime and browse around. :cheers:
:laugh: ;) :bowdown: :thumb:
