Okay, silly question, but important one I think:
A 190 lb driver would be 10% of the weight of the liz, and therefore would have a 10% increase in the 0-60 times. A passenger takes that number and doubles it again. I know several car companies use torque and HP curves from a dyno to compute 0-60 times, even though they would be impossible to obtain in reality. Do we suspect Lotus has done this?
So, is 4.9s with or without driver? How heavy? What would you expect the times to be with 2 passengers (~350-400 lbs total added weight).
Seems to me that every 20 pounds of heft should amount in a difference of 0.1s in 0-60. Thats a pretty big deal...
