The Emira was never going to be on the level of a Porsche. It is a flawed car with good looks. I was really excited for this car, but it is quickly dying. I don't even think I will bother with another sports car.
I drove and flipped my M3 Xcomp earlier this year. You don't make much money after TTL, tint, ceramic, insurance, etc. I think I cleared around 4K, but it was a fun few months. I plan to drive my Emira for about a year till I move to Lake Tahoe where I will have no use for a sports car.
I already knew the engine and gearbox would be the weak link. It was always going to be a flawed car. It is an Evora with a gorgeous body and interior. I am buying it for fun in the streets which it will be fine. If I was doing lots of track time I would go the Porsche route.
I am going to wait till I test drive it to make up my mind. I actually don't plan on owning the car long as I am moving to the mountains where I will have no use for a sports car. I just want a fun car for six months and then flip it.
I find pretty much every wide body kit to be incredibly ugly. It blows my mind people will spend tons of money on liberty walk kits to make their 300K cars ugly.
I think the Evora is pretty ugly. The interior felt cheap. It is just a weird looking car. I have yet to see an Emira in person. My dealer said it will be 4-6 weeks before they have a showroom car.
It should get about the same as the Evora as they are almost the same car with the exact same engine plus a little bit of weight. I expect to get in the lower teens with my driving habits.
I am expecting these packages at these prices. I am hoping since there will be greater numbers sold that other tuners in the US will take up the charge as these prices are triple what they should be.

I had to drive to my dealership to see them in person. They had me down as the 52nd in line for a car when I was 12th. Glad I swung by to fix that. I still have not heard a peep from them and that was about two months ago. He said I would be placing my order around June or July. There is...
These last GT3s are going to be collectors cars. This is the last of the non-hybrid. There won't ever be a better car. I am tempted to get on the two year wait list. I don't really want to own it though. I don't feel it is a daily. It is too much car for the streets. It looks killer...
I loved all my M steering wheels! I love that they are thick wheels. Tesla is by far the worst. The Corvette wheel is also horrible. Then again there is not a single redeeming quality of the interior or exterior of a Vette. I do admit I am not a fan of non-round steering wheels. They look...
Every car manufacturer is having delivery delays because of the shortages. It is what it is. Just be happy that you are getting a FE. I was #12 and it was not enough to get a FE at my dealership.
I bought a M3 comp xdrive recently. It was my car till my Emira arrives. I already sold it after two months. It did not bring me joy. It was too fast for the streets. I had much more fun in my old E92. I find the HP wars boring. I don't need to be the fastest. I need to enjoy driving the...
I think the Evora is ugly on the outside and inside. I will admit that I liked it better in person. I don't even think they are in the same league. Lotus has had so many hits and misses over the years for styling. I think the Emira is better looking than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. They really...
