I know this is an old thread, but I had to say something.
There is no comparison you can make with any production street Lotus and the 23B. I worked for Lotus Southwest back in the 60's and drove a 23B. It was a great car, but it was a purpose built race car. I'm sure it's fun to drive a road car around a race track, but it doesn't even come close to driving something that is built just to go racing.
