The World's Fastest Lotus? - TUNED

Frank Profera has spent six years making his Lotus go faster, stop shorter, and corner harder. Though it only has to move around 2,150 lbs, Frank's Lotus makes 680 wheel horsepower with a twin-charged 1.8L engine; giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than Mario Andretti's Formula One Lotus. It's an ongoing project that may never be finished, because of Frank's never-ending obsession with speed. We had to take it for a ride.

I agree, I have no idea why anyone in the right mind would live in Lancaster or Palmdale, both are dumps in the desert.

It's only ok when americans are building big cars if they are used as family cars but I just don't get why so many americans opt for muscle cars knowing that there is a car out there specifically designed for the purest drivers in mind, a true pure drivers car, muscle cars are not pure drivers cars!

Amen. Many would be surprised what a lot of simple hard work and saving can accomplish. If you want something bad enough and work hard as shit to attain "it" your going to get there most of the time. So, if you want something, go bust your ass and get it.
