What could "possibly" be cooler than a Lotus? - LotusTalk

This one is owned by Lotustalker, and former Krypton Green Elise owner, evomind. Beauty and the beast - all in one package.

The thing that most attracted me to the Elise in the first place was the raw race car feeling. Mike let me drive this one and as much as I still love the Elise, my perception of "raw" and "race" have taken on new meaning.

That is pretty cool... a real Ford GT-40 is up there with my all time favorite cars...

Is this a "real GT40" or a "new GT40" (such as a Superformance)?

It is so great to drive a race car on the street, very cool!

Moto44 · 07-26-2009, 09:41 PM

It's a new GT40. Perhaps Mike will see this tomorrow and be able to fill in some details...

dasmoofler · 07-26-2009, 10:33 PM

Of course, Mike already knows this.

Gorgeous Mike. And I'm glad you have the good taste to get a yellow car with black stripes.

Am I missing something? Thats the "old original" GT40. Call me new school school but I like the styling of the "new" ones 10x better. Even though it built practically the same aside from panel changes.

I'm flattered that you all are going with the yellow and black stripes after seeing my ride.
