Postby Dave » Mon Sep 29, 2003 4:31 pm

anyone seen the spec on these? 0-62 in 4.7, 2 litre turbo 200 bhp and the engine was done by lotus, 25,000 sterling.... don't particularly like the front of them.

It's not much more expensive though, I think about £28k.... and they also hold their value better than any other car on the market.

I must say it again though, Vauxhall vs. Lotus.....

Unless the lotus is an exige I'd go for the Vauxhall (cuz an exige is much more expensive). it got rae reviews from Top-Gear and IIRC has more creature comforts that the lotus, not to mention a roll cage and it's very, very quick!!

as ciaran would say quick as a scalded cat... but i'd still much prefer the nose of the lotus, not mad about the front of the vauxhall.
