sorry, I just realized I could view who voted what and it appears Transio voted "NO" to the thread
thus you must not know what an M100 is! Is it not a Lotus? Has Lotus ever made a non-sportscar? (but, Please don't reply that they made some bicycles too
) Is this not a LOTUS forum?
should I direct you to the M100 project thread about the car with 362HP on the dyno and 437HP with the NOS on? Then is it a sportscar?
should we discuss the debate about whether Lotus purposefully kept the M100's boost level limit to only 0.6Bar so that it wouldn't out-race the 1991 Esprit on all roadtests! In fact the Elan was developed with and programmed with fuel and boost tables well up to 0.9 bar, which gives it over 200HP on 1.6 litres and sub 6 second 0-60 times--but the factory set a boost limit at 0.6Bar. So had the Elan outpaced the Esprit then would the Elan be a "sportscar", or would the Esprit then NOT be a "sportscar" ? ? ?
