That car is beautiful! Interior pix?

the evora gets the 2GR-FE which, while it was used in the v6 camry, it is more of a small SUV motor (Rx350, Venza, highlander). It's not really a bad engine at all.

Nice ride!!!

The lotus looks very sharp, what year is and what was the purchase price, it seems the lotus is a british chassis , with a 275hp toyota v6 in it.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that in the revamped lineup Lotus will be releasing in the next few years, they will no longer be using Toyota engines.

The Evora is one sweet car. Congrats!

Very nice car indeed. The only downside to them is dealer network from what I understand, but if you have one near you, G2G. Sick looking car. I think of it as a Ferrari Lite. Sortof like the 370Z is a Porsche Lite. And my Z06 is a Viper Lite, lol

I really liked the Z, but never totally fell in love. Not sure why. I can tell you I loved the G35. By all measures the Z was much better car than the G.
Long story short
While out just cruising stopped by the local Motorsports shop (carries all the high dollar cars) and test drove a Lotus Evora
Ended up leaving with the Keys to the Evora

I wish I could keep both, but as they say "there can be only ONE" well at least for now.
I would like to thank everyone for all the great advice and help on all my Z projects

Congrats on the car. A truly beautiful upgrade. Very classy. :tup: If you ever see a gunmetal grey Z with Illinois plates waving at you, that'd be me. ;)

Never been there, but I've driven by that dealership many times. They often have many pretty things sitting out front.

I know how you feel about the, 'didn't fall in love but miss it'. I bought a new WRX back in 2005. Only kept it for about 18 months. Wanted a WRX, loved the car, totally fun, but never really felt "attached" to it. To this day I still miss it a little. Well, no so much since I bought the Z. :rofl2:

Man awesome car. I love Lotus! If there was any car I would trade my Z in for, it would be a Lotus. I'm a bit jealous. If you don't mind us asking, what did that cost you?

Very very nice man...congrats!:tup:

TheGreatOne 02-22-2012 11:55 PM

Very nice pick up! Congrats

You can tell when the forum likes a car when we don't start raising discussions to make you second guess your purchase and you just get congrats across the board! :tup:
