Fast Acceleration - Page 3 - LotusTalk

I had a few colours in mind: Ardent red, yellow, or krypton green. That green looks so nice, its too hard to decide.

The Lancer Evo is a monster on the track. With the adaptive awd they have and that crazy super-sport mode or w/e. i took one for a drive the other day and if u wnat acceleration??? i punched it and nearly soiled my pants. The beauty of the Lotus is that its like 1500lbs lighter than the Evo. 200lbs heavier than a smart car and 5 times the horsepower???

Well the initial budget of 35k or less kind of counts out the s/c options.
The "likes acceleration",and "likes to drive fast" seem to be pointing towards an EVO as they are likely a more forgiving drive.

If you want a car that you just want to get in to drive, even to the shops and back, but can perform like this get an Elise, drive it for a while then supercharge it. You won't be disappointed. This is my daily drive to work and I have now done a couple of track days and autocross events. Can't get enough.
