Why? Of course there's a Civic out there which is going to be faster. A purpose-built drag civic (like: K-Tuned. Race Proven. Archive Drag Cartel – 8 Second All Motor Civic) will unquestionably outrun any Lotus on a 1/4 mile strip. No car is the fastest at everything although many are pretty good at a lot of things.
What I think most people need to keep in mind is that, in America cars are deemed fast by only 1 grading scale.... the 1/4 mile. Now I know the S260 is a quick car by that standard, but how many people here in the states can even tell the difference between an Elise (which isn't terribly quick) and an Exige S260? In my experience, not may people even know there's an Exige, or believe it's the exact same outside of "it's not a convertible.
As do most of the country does.
That's pretty much what I saw too.
Really? I think most of them don't even care about 0 to 60 times... they strictly care about HP. Which is why they all think their Camaros could crush every Lotus. Only like, one guy, even mentioned power to weight ratios.
