one of those "holy #@$!, nice car" moments..
 

I was at work a couple days ago, almost ready to go home. I looked out the window, and my jaw dropped. I immediately said "holy ****!" not caring who was around me. Pulling into the parking lot was a navy blue Lotus Esprit V8 twin-turbo! I stared as the car pulled up to our store, and the driver got out. I work at an organic food place, by the way. When the driver walked into the store, I was the first one to help him out. when he left, the door stayed open for a few minutes as I waited to hear the car merge back onto the highway. I nearly jizzed myself when he went full throttle. I've never seen a Lotus before (except at the NY auto show), so this was pretty sweet.

thats cool man i herd those things sound real good

i tried racing a lambo merceollago(sp?) last year but he didnt bite :( i love exotics

good doesn't begin to describe it.

it's a small V8 (3.5 liters), so it doesn't rumble. it does, however, have a roar when you lay the hammer down. 350 HP in an exotic supercar can do wonders :D

id Personally would prefer a gto over a lotus

I raced a lotus esprit from a slow crawl. It was white and had a young chick driving it with a guy in the passenger seat. I was just playing around because I wanted to hear it accelerate. After a minute or so of taunting she bit and we took off. She got a half car lead but since we couldn't do any high speed (road was 30mph) I took her to 50 and was 2 cars or more ahead. Very nice car though, I love the design. They run GM electronics, guys why I know :P .
I'd take a Lotus over a GTO because in that car it isn't about the speed or the leg room... it's about the style.

i dont think there that pretty... a s7 or a diablo or a mc learn f1 ya

Me too probably. 8)

Lotus is nice....and yes they used GM electronics since for some time Lotus was part of GM (LT5 anyone?).....but nothing tops the Hard-On Factor like a 1967 GTO in Ferrari Red. Lowerd and on 17's with a 455 Pontiac, backed by a 6spd and 12 bolt with big Baer brakes.....yeah baby. 8)

A couple weeks ago at work saw one too. Nice.

Reminds me of when I caused a near 10 car pile up when I saw a Porsche Carrera GT parked on the side of the road, and some guy taking pictures of it.
By far the best was when I saw a row of Ferrari's in the city...sweet lord. :drool:
