soooooo #3 idk man lol a lotus is a little piece of ugly with a toyota 4cyl

if ANYTHING i would say the evora is cool. exige yea not so much.

and #5 wrong again. i see about 20 corvettes a day. no joke. and many C7's are popping up quickly. i see multiple lotus' on a daily basis and my cars and coffee is overrun with them to where we actually have a lotus day along with our porchse day, exotic day, etc...

there are less Z's here than either of the 3 named.

well i see a couple 350s but those dont count. 370s theres barely any.

and cant blame the area i live in either. at my local cars and coffee we have 4 aventadors, 6 458's, a veyron, F40, Gt 250, carrera gt's, etc lol

I guess looks are subjective but it's hard to argue with performance. That little Toyota 4-banger will eat up anything but the most outrageously built Z and will give a stock C7 everything it can handle and then some.

Where I live I've only ever seen 3 Lotuses in person and they were all Elises, not Exiges. C7 Vettes are becoming a dime a dozen, 350s are common, there are a handful of 370s, and one other 370 Nismo that I know of.

pretty sure a TT Z will eat a lotus.

500WHP at 3300lbs give or take vs 170BHP at 2600 or whatever they weigh.

go look up pittsburhg cars and coffee we have a million lotus' its almost too much lol

Um, no. 260hp and 2000lbs, 0-60 in something like 4.1. Sounds like you're mixing up the Evora weight and the Elise power.

Is the Evora the same chassis used for that Henessey Venom?

The Venom is a stretched Elise / Exige chassis. It looks like they made a new back half for it to accommodate the motor.

My understanding is that the Venom is a stretched Exige. They just had to make it longer to fit a massive engine.

The Evora is totally different than the Exige. It weighs over 3000lbs, has back seats, and is powered by a V6 that makes around the same power as a Z. I personally don't see the point.

Oh ok. We had a guy in our WA Z club go from a 370z to a Exige. It was so tiny. Looked pretty cool and from what he said was really fast.
