Anyone received the new SC Elise 08?

andrewgotanelise · 02-17-2008, 11:52 PM

+1 I havent heard of anyone here owning one. I have only read the editorial reviews.

We're still waiting for our first ones to arrive. Will definitely posts pix as soon as one gets in.

I've also been wondering about this. Did lotus just put priority on getting the exige 240s sent out first?

I have this doubt too. I am really looking for some feedback on how it drives when compared to normal Elise and also to a after market kit.

on me.. Didnt pay attention

Andrem, Congrats.. You are the first person on my ignore list. Bye Bye

ivan1 · 02-18-2008, 03:08 PM

If you are going to put him on your ignore list for that, pretty soon there will be noone left

Bavarian Motorist · 02-18-2008, 04:52 PM

I wonder why they are delaying the release of the SC... Is it to get the last of the '07s off the lots?

No it has nothing to do with what he just posted. Its just overall history from his very first posts.. He is 16 I believe.. and wishes to have a Lotus..

ivan1 · 02-18-2008, 05:26 PM

I suspect it has to do with the change in supercharger..are there any exige S (220s) with the non intercooled SC delivered yet? the model year is half over...at this point I am tempted to pick up an 05 or 06 and add a SC myself, especially after getting a ride in ScottyB's car...

IMO, he's improved a lot. I admit I was a bit annoyed with him before as well.

Is a spoiler delete option available on the Elise SC? It would save weight.

Asked this question and the answer was that it is possible to take it down after delivery but you would have to be ok in having two holes on the back of the car since the spoiler is screwed to it.
They told me that factory delete is not an option

It would save weight but ... it would negatively affect handling.
