The crazy thing is this LS9 powered one is supposedly worth 10x what a LSA powered one is. I understand that it's uber rare since the factory only made 4 but damn.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 5:31 pmThat's a cool ride.

How wouldn't it? This is the quintessential car guy's car. Has people's heads on a swivel, but is actually RELIABLE. And you're not trying to flex on people, either.

Do you have to have the appreciation argument to cover the issue? Because I don't have a single problem with ordering a brand new one just how you want it. It's a great fucking car at frankly a fair price.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 6:59 pmChecks every box...Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 6:55 pm

@Max, my friend is 6'2" with long legs and says his seat is still 3 clicks or notches away from being all the way back. He said someone 6'4" would easily fit and be comfortable.

I'm 6'5, I've driven one on the track with a helmet and fit just fine. These things are really fantastic for all people.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 7:26 pmCaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 7:23 pm

Seems like it sometimes
I've been 6'5" since I was 20ish. Always a big boah.

I fit well in all modern Lotus vehicles. Even the Elise fits me better than a Miata.

Eh, I think it could be pretty worthwhile, Alan changed the suspension on the one I used to own. My Bilstein shocks on the C5 have been incredible. That said, I felt the stock springs on the Beemah were good. Do you have the M Sport, I can't remember?
Biggest issue with those cars is the stupid staggered tires. I would get a big front bar, shocks, and :255: all around and call it.
I actually liked the suspension in mine a lot... it rode well and wasn't floaty, not a lot of body roll. It was perfect for a sporty DD. I was also happy to not have a bunch of "modes" and other BMW electronics to break (had I kept the car).

Having spent considerable time in an M3 compared to my M sport they couldn't even be more different. M sport is an appearance package. IMO.
I fit in an Elise with a helmet on the track no problem. Getting in/out of it is rather but All of the English tiny people laughed at me struggling in/out of the thing, but once you're in, it fits.

Although not the illustrious 400, this one is good enough to bring me great joy and since it has a fairly low point of entry I really don't think it will be depreciating much.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 7:23 pmEvolution vs Revolution.
