the lotus looks nice but havent you heard that chevy is reviving the 69 camaro? its supposed to have the ls2 6.0L v8 (400cid) pushing an estimated 400 bhp and gas milage is supposed to be really good with variable cylinder technology im not sure of the msrp on this car but i for one will own one BTW 400 bhp is just the starting point because its a chevy the go fast parts will probably be endless! right now i am driving a crown victoria with pi cylinder heads and a compession ratio of 10:1 (my rocket couch) just an idea if you want affordable perfomance and luxury the ford modular motors that have replaced the old pushrod v8s have a ridiculous amount of potential the fastest crown vic ive seen is at 650 hp with a supercharger just a few ideas to toss at you but heck its your dime i think you are probably set on the lotus but remember with a car like that the cops will always be looking in your direction and go fast goodies will probably cost a mint, I for one belive that once you become used to the power your car produces you will always want more

Hmm
Just one piece of advise. When you buy one of these upper elite sports cars you better have a shop and a dealership close to you for service. As a shop owner myself I know the frustrations of having a breakdown and not being close to anyone who can service your car. Doesnt matter what you drive..They break! Nice looking vehicles though..

I question your commitment to this hobby. How could you possibly consider a sports car when a tank upgrade could easily suck that unwanted money away just as fast LOLLOL LOL LOL.

I'd be willing to bet that the new Camaro will be de-tuned by the time it hits show room floors. The 2009 Vette is slated to have 430 HP so I doubt GM would let the Camaro get that close in performance numbers to the Vette. I'm talking the base Vette, not the Z06.
Back on topic.. I say go for the Lotus, your not buying it for practacality your buying it for the thrill of driving it, so who cares if it's a bit hard to get in an out of or costs a bit more to maintain. That plus it will be plain cool to have a car that you won't see ten of day in and day out.

I still think the Viper is the sexiest car. Mmm. But that Lotus sure is a beauty. I also saw a new Audio R8 downtown yesterday, and...umm...YES.
