    i4 wih 400HP - post from another Lotus Forum

    Only that it will occur after the I-4 First Edition submissions. So, assumed after July and August I4 Turbo First Edition allocations close.

    I did get a call yesterday that First Edition I-4's are bumped to 400hp. Can't attest to Toyota stopping making the v6.

    Is anyone being told that Lotus is not allowing outside financing?

    Lotus themselves are not regulating how you purchase the vehicle. Outside financing not being "allowed" is the dealer because their F&I guy and/or the dealer want their banks kickback or have a monthly minimum financed number to hit to keep the bank on with them. Financing with the dealer is...

    Does the car scrape easily?

    IMO - I would keep it the way it is. It was designed at this height to make it more daily-able. I find that it is very nice to not have to scrunch-up as I feel the cars pain pulling in and out of areas. Most exotics and prior generation Loti, we would have to drive around the lot to the back...

    De-tune for CARB? No…

    As you probably all know, CARB certification for the Lotus Emira V6 Manual has gone through and no re-tuning necessary! Now we just need to wait for the Emira to ship to CARB states, Maroni stickers and MSO's to be sent out and the ECM/VDDM software update that fixes the start problem to be...
