Well I just ordered a Dragy so we’ll see what happens. I suspect all it will do is prove that I can’t drive… :ROFLMAO:

A lot of the mods sound great and I applaud them being available. I’ll almost certainly do some of them myself, but not because I feel I’ve been ripped off by Lotus. I’ll do them because I feel it may make the car even better than it already is. Any claim that Lotus somehow ripped people off...

Not true. The car performs as advertised. If yours doesn’t, get it checked out. There might be something wrong with it. This car was made as a Cayman rival, and its performance is equal to or better than that car at a similar price point, while being far better looking and more exotic in every...

If you’re never getting less than 5 sec in your car, then either you’re doing something wrong or there’s something wrong with your car. There’s a video that has been widely circulated here of a manual V6 doing 0-60mph in 4.1, so 0-100kmh would be no more than 4.2 or 4.3. I haven’t timed my car...

If I had to guess I would say that in testing Lotus found that changing up at that point actually gives the best performance. That said, it is a little strange if there is no way you can go beyond 6500. Is there a manual mode and you change gear using paddles or the lever? If so does it still...

Just out of curiosity, are you saying it bounces off the limiter at 6500? Or is there nothing you can do to stop it changing at 6500, even though the limit is 6800?

Given there are several purchase options in terms of the 3rd cat delete, is there a particular one that is having this issue with having to expand the pipe, and are there others that fit straight away?

Actually I really like that, but then I’ve always been a big fan of the white Challenge wheels on the 355. I spent ages trying to convince a mate to sell me his without success when I had my old car …😅

Maybe it’s time to mention it to the ACCC? I absolutely love this car, but this issue is an unacceptable joke.

I simply don’t believe that there are engineers trying to figure it out. If there are, they need to be sacked. How can an engine that’s been around since the time of the dinosaurs have this issue (and only in this installation) and yet all these professional engineers are stumped? BS.

I have to be honest and say that this issue is starting to piss me off. It’s been known about for so long now yet nothing is happening. Almost two years into ownership, every time I start the car after anything more than 24 hours it fails to start first time, or at best pops and farts and...

Agreed, but here it carries certain connotations. Basically, that’s “drug dealer” spec. Usually found on late model Mercedes with loud V8s and driven aggressively by people who look like, well, drug dealers…

I really don’t understand the people saying silver wheels don’t work with nimbus. Based on the pics I’ve seen (including above) I think it looks great. I’m one of those people that can’t stand black wheels on any car in any colour. But, that’s just my view. It’s neither right nor wrong...

I think some people conflate the regulations and restrictions in their own part of the world with the entire world. There’s a big old world out there, and what may restrict things in your corner of it means nothing for the rest of it.

Agreed. I don’t believe for a moment that the V6 is about to be deleted.
