I spoke to an insider asking when the next generation Elise/Exige is coming out and they said there was an extensive update coming very soon with a new model around 2012. The big debate right now is how to handle the update with the release of the Evora.

Just don't tell the Lotus guys on Lotustalk because I'm not suppose to tell. :)

...actually, I'm serious about that.

That is not the layout of the track they used. So sorry. See link for truth. - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 12:35:42 (55 views)

Bwahaha! Road & Track recently did just that & only thing that came close to Viper ACR was - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 12:29:34 (76 views)

Ok, so you only need a big engine to dominate it? - BlackjackMulligan 2008-10-10 11:51:32 (87 views)

Power to weight. - synchronicity_ii 2008-10-10 11:56:07 (89 views)

Exactly. He's obviously never seen a lap around VIR. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 11:52:17 (58 views)

Uh, the Viper ACR is a monster. Don't just call it a '600hp Viper'. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 11:40:26 (125 views)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - synchronicity_ii 2008-10-10 11:54:11 (150 views)

Fantastic rebuttal. I can clearly see you are educated and informed enough on these matters - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 12:02:10 (111 views)

2nd, Ferrari will always prevail over brutish, unrefined engines in old chassis and suspension tech. - Chetlocal 2008-10-10 13:15:05 (168 views)

2nd. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 13:22:18 (35 views)

Do you realize the map of the track you posted is NOT what they used? - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 12:31:15 (81 views)

Twisty bits? - synchronicity_ii 2008-10-10 12:36:55 (75 views)

Looks at Sectors 3 and 4 Holmes - you know, the ones that were NOT on the map you posted - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 12:38:41 (37 views)

Of course he doesn't. His head is stuck too far up a prancing horses rear end. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 12:35:35 (61 views)

still don't see anything remotely resembling more than 2 "turns" - synchronicity_ii 2008-10-10 12:38:18 (43 views)

Not something you are going to need to worry about until you are old enough to drive. - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 12:43:27 (69 views)

Well, if nothing else at least you've bought into the Ferrari propaganda. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 12:29:23 (164 views)

You're forgetting one thing,, - roadstermadness 2008-10-10 12:26:18 (95 views)

I'm sorry but when you say you're paying for the "Ferrari" name, are you referring to.... - Allan Gibbs 2008-10-10 15:40:59 (65 views)

2nd that! - Dr Brian 2008-10-10 11:08:16 (39 views)

Short of the Stasis TT, I am sad to report the Cobalt SS would smoke any of our variants. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 09:38:04 (65 views)

Huh? - TTsteve 2008-10-14 18:31:57 (34 views)

Read the story and look at the sector times. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-14 19:59:38 (18 views)

was there a time for the TTS? - TTsteve 2008-10-15 04:21:53 (20 views)

No, but I don't see anything the TTS can do out of the box that can match what that did. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-15 05:50:15 (25 views)

I'm not discounting the TT, just saying the Cobalt SS is a helluva performer. - zerinNeedsMoreSTaSIS 2008-10-10 11:41:37 (44 views)

The TT has the potential just improve the feedback and put more power to the .... - Allan Gibbs 2008-10-10 11:10:49 (81 views)

Power to the rear and more feedback is pretty easy to accomplish - JohnLZ7W 2008-10-10 12:05:33 (82 views)

That's what bothered me. - Allan Gibbs 2008-10-10 15:56:24 (49 views)
