I'm in the market for a Lotus and am contemplating a '05 Elise, an '07 Exige S and an '08 Elise SC. I test drove an '08 Elise SC today... my first time in a Lotus... and was thrilled. Cost is obviously a huge factor, but so is the fact that this will rarely be tracked and mostly used as a DD (so rear view visibility comes into play). BTW, please keep in mind I live in CA and don't want headaches when it comes to smogging the car. I've searched this forum for answers to a few questions I have... but the answers I found often conflicted. So, why not start a thread. Here they are:
1. Does the Gotham 265 tune make the '07 Exige S have approx 265 hp at the crank or at the rear wheels?
2. Is there a Dyno print out showing HP and Torque vs RPM that overlays the factory '07 Exige S and one with the Gotham 265 tune (preferably the same car)?
3. Where does one purchase the Gotham 265 tune?
4. How does this affect everyday driving? I ask as I live in Sacramento where it routinely gets well above 100' in the summer.
As you can see I'm kind of biased towards the '07 Exige S with the Gotham 265 tune. Partly because it's cost effective and partly because of the respect in this forum for CharlieX. Thanks in advance for any advice!
