Why AS? Just because of the Lotus name? Compare the following:
Elise. Body 2 seat sportscar. Engine: same as Celica GTS +10hp, 400# lighter
than GTS, both lack LSD. GTS = DS (where it's an underdog).
Toyota MR2S. Body 2 seat sportscar. Engine same as Celica GT, weight ? (I
assume a couple hundred pounds lighter than the GT). Both lack(ed) LSD. GT=
GS, MR2S = CS.
Based on the above, sounds to me that the Lotus might be a BS car,
especially since Lotus handicapped it with a bastard sized front wheel?
Discuss!
