Looks like it performs similar to the Lotus Exige S, but it sounds less aggressive. The SC sounds a lot louder (which doesn't really sound aggressive, just whiny). It's nothing less than impressive. That braking distance is ridiculous. 103 feet!
(question) Can someone tell me the facts relating to the improvements from the 2006 Lotus Exige to the 2009 Lotus Exige S? Preferably exterior, engine, and transimission. I am deciding to buy a used 10,000 mile 2006 Lotus Exige. Thanky You
ko hers the deal this car is an overrated peice of crap i mean rly i hate the sound of this car it sounds like a fly im frot a microphone and i hate imports american made muscle is where its at 1969 camero mustang cobras from ne year before 1980 thunderbirds there all great even galaxy 500's get into real cars not stupid european peices of junk
kk here's the deal, this car is an overrated piece of crap. I mean really, I hate the sound of this car, it sounds like a fly. I hate imports. American made muscle is where its at 1969 camaro (CAMARO with an "A") mustang cobras from any year before 1980, thunderbirds, there all great even galaxy 500's. Get into real cars not stupid European pieces of junk.
whoa, someone sounds like a backwoods, redneck, ignorant, sister-fucking IDIOT!
ok first of all i didnt ask for ur opinion second of all im not a redneck and im not a sister fucker ur a pussy with no life and u cant even get the twat i can so fatass when u can bak up wat u say then u can talk to me until then u can fuck u stupid asshole prick queer
Why did u change your account? You rednecks multiply accounts almost as fast as you multiply children with your siblings...
Listen man, we got off on the wrong foot. Look, I just bought a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 from the local Dodge over here. I love muscle, 71 Challenger 440-sixpack has always been my car. You can't be ignorant about imports though, the rest of the world laughs at us for being close minded on certain things and I would rather not give them that pleasure. Btw Lotus' rock
ok, ill be civilised, ever heard of live rear axles? american cars still use them in the mustang and corvette,thats so old fashioned and adds up to pathetic handling, also bmw m3 engine, 3.4 lires=24obhp tvr straight six engine, 4litres=400bpp we can get 100bhp per litre out of our engines your oldfashioned engines with only a single over head cam needs 6-7 litres to produce a mere 300 odd bhp, how dare you call our superior technology crap when you still use old technology
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they may be old and simple but apparently they work. the pushrod in the zr1 that makes 638 bhp and 604 lbs-ft of torque while still getting 20 mpg with close gears weighs 530 lbs. thats less than the v10 in the gallardo or the v12 in an enzo. also much less than the vacuum cleaner in the gt-r :) the mustang and the corvette are both built to be save money in terms of overall quality unlike most european cars but a zr1 can still corner better than this lotus easily.
damn 12.6 seconds???!!! that beat the GT-R!!! and it sounds like it got a supercharger lol, and i love the sound of the engine! and the brakes are terrific!
People relax lol problem here is that these are stock cars...but change the tires and everything changes...so the best way to do it is putting the same tires on both cars. Then test the machines on cold and hot days...That should be interesting!
maybe not low end, but top end, hell yeah a acura will beat a lotus. 54,000 for a little over 200hp... no thanks. a 25,000 Dodge srt4 Calibur with 287hp seems to make more sense. >_>
the lotus may have near motorcycle like torque cuz of its light weight but even that doesn't justify the price tag especially in a car where you have a better chance surviving a crash inside a Pinto.
you could put thousands of dollars into a '97 Supra and beat a lotus and it STILL wouldn't cost as much as a stock lotus. like the other dude said this car is basically for exotic looks, if you want luxury and great sports performance they're plenty of more logical alternatives than a lotus. I would to have a lotus myself, but even if I had the cash I just couldn't put that much money into that kind of lacking performance compared to other cars.
oh my god, how ignorant can you be? An esprit EK9 will beat a lotus, C-west S2000 will make the lotus look like a shopping cart on the track, Hasport Integra will embarass it. Even the spoon legend will beat it.
Lol you dont know what your talking about. Lotus has better handling than any other vehicle made. Have you watched the video on here (youtube) of a Lotus keeping up with a Bugatti Veyron on the track? In the end it gets smoked on a straight-way but it keeps up throughout the whole race.
a bugatti is an oversized vw beetle, its not the best handleing car in the world. i doubt it could pull the skidpad at 1.10g like the c-west S2000 can or do the slalom at 78mph like a hasport integra could.
Read what I type before you post. I said the Lotus can keep up with a Bugatti and the Bugatti is the best car in the world. IT will beat your C-West or your...RDX. Lol!
Is yours stock? If so Stock vs. Stock the Mustang will win. Its proven facts (unless the driver of the Mustang is bad and the SI's driver is really good--then theirs a chance). The numbers are there and they are real- The Mustang wins. If your SI is not stock then I'd LOVE to see you take on a Twin Turbo V6 Mustang, or even an X-Charged Mustang. A lot of V6 Mustangs are pushing out 400+ horsepower, and even beat their big brother the GT.
twin turbo v6? no way...it will kill me tho...i might have a chance if we hit the curves but not in a straight line....i meant stock vs stock....i have raced v6 stock, and its almost ashamed those cars came with v6's...they sound and performed like a 4 banger...but to beat a 400hp mustang i think i need about atleast 320hp.....remember my car still about 700lbs lighter...which gives me an advantage.....and higher top end...9000rpms with i-vtec which allows me to rev all the way with power
oh yeah, my moms RDX beat the shit out of a V6 mustang, brand new with a full borla exhaust. I can barely keep up with the new Si's with that car, so yeah.
LOL Stock RDX vs Stock V6 Mustang the numbers are in........ The mustang wins. RDX 1/4 Mile: 15.5 seconds. Mustang v6 1/4 Mile: 15.0 seconds. RDX 0-60 7 seconds. Mustang 0-60 6.5-6.8 seconds. And if you say it has a full borla exhaust then the RDX has no chance. LOL
Stock VS Stock the Mustang will win UNLESS the driver is horrible.
Uhh, reading something statistical isn't something that you did in real life. Driver was the son of the manager to a small mustang tuner business. I bet if i went open headers with the boost up to 17 pounds i could piss off a GT. The mustang was auto, so all he had to do was floor it. Also, most people who test drive the RDX i doubt know how to drive one. The RDX to be driven fast needs gradual, smooth driving imputs. You can really feel the difference.
hah, the RDX outhandles most mustangs anyways. I mean, with SH-AWD and all. It would pretty much own a stock Mustang, and possibly the GT... or maybe even... the 2007 shelby GT.
LOL I'm not going to bother with you anymore since your Profile says that you Hate all muscle cars and only like Japanese cars. YOUR RDX CANNOT BEAT A MUSTANG ON THE TRACK OR ON THE STRIP. ESPECIALLY NOT A 500+ Horsepower Shelby GT
why is it so hard to face facts? pretty much all the new "muscle" cars suck. Can't accept the fact that a turbo'd and acura badged CR-V can beat a mustang. Must be because its a four cylinder that you think that way.
The new Camaro sucks? The new Corvette ZR1 sucks? The Shelby GT500 Sucks? I think your a little mixed up. A CR-V is not going to beat a Mustang. I wish you lived by me so I could race you in my Mustang. You'd be smoked.
The corvette is not a muscle car, its now an exotic. Yeah, the GT500 does suck... a poor attempt at what the old mustang acheived. An RDX is a CR-V, just tuned up with SH-AWD and a VFT turbo with a K23a3 powerplant. The new camaro isn't out yet, go figure. Really? I'd be smoked? Ok man, whatever.
Ok, then we can just go with the 1500+Horsepower older Corvettes. I'm sure they will beat your CR-V. The GT500 is a Beautiful car and will beat your CR-V LOL! I cant believe I'm actually arguing with you over this. And the new Camaro is out-- Also a beautiful car and it will also whoop your CR-V. V6 Mustangs are going to whoop on your CR-V... It's a CR-V... Its not meant for racing.
Yeah, it will beat my mom's CR-V alright. Not to mention the $40k-$60k price difference. If that camaro is out, how come i haven't seen any yet? a V6 mustang isn't any closer to being for racing than a CR-V is. How many people do you see swapping motors from a V6 mustang to another car? Plenty of CR-V motors being used for racing. Did i mention that there is a honda element that shares the same chassis as a CR-V set up for the D1 grand prix?
LOL you have no idea what your talking about. I just raced a Supercharged Grand Prix yesterday and totally smoked the guy. Stock v. Stock. I smoked him. Heck I'll call him up and make a video of it if you want. We did four races, one at a traffic light- I won. One at the third honk from 30mph rolling- I won. Another one where we were stopped and again- I won. I forget what the last race was. But I won. I beat a Supercharged Grand Prix. Lol you wouldnt even had a chance if I put even a CAI in! HA
me on drugs? hahahah!!! nope sir.....mustang v6 number.....0-60 6.5 secs...1/4 mile low 15's high 14's....top speed 125mph....weight 3500lbs...now..2007 civic si number...0-60 6.2 secs...1/4 mile mid to high 14's....top speed 135mph with a limiter, not drag limited like the mustang....and 2800lbs.....you like the numbers? dont beleive me...look around do the research.....ohhh and dont get me started with the handling cause that boat cant turn....ohh and the civic only has 4 cylinders!!
LOL This one is American Powered. Although you are correct the normal Exige/Elise are faster than those cars. But the *starting* price is MUCH higher than those (although you can pick a 05 lotus up for around 27k now.) Lotus Elise/Exige are my favorite cars ever!
