Last time I weighed my Type R, full of fluids with me in it, it weighed 2460lbs, since then I have lost a little more than 140lbs, but haven't driven it for awhile.
I mentioned to Matt that even though the R was exceptionally tossable, makes 90hp than the Elise, I felt the Lotus was a better balanced package in that I was really unable to get a feel for the upper limits of exceeding traction when 1900lbs would break free.
It struck me that the Lotus would really benefit from a featherweight flywheel, some Toda's and a remap - the suspension was totally on point. Sounds the part too.

This right here is the big reason I still have my 2zz swapped spyder with a ton of supporting mods ~185 whp. I love my 911 but on the street there is something about the toss-ability and fun factor of a 2227 lbs car (with full tank and me in it). Right now I feel way more confident in the spyder than I do with the 911 at least until I can get a proper suspension on the 911.

I would not turn down an opportunity to turn into a contortionist to try an Exige.

There's a guy in town has a supercharged Elise (same as the Exige) and I can't imagine why I would need all that power. However, if Exiges go on sale and interest rates tank prices, I'll make room for one...
Or, I'd trade my Elise plus cash to get into an Exige, but only one with the exact same combination, of which I'm not sure there is one...

a fellow zzw30 brother!!! post some pics... i still miss mine and continue to try and find one in decent shape that i could swap... it was such an easy platform to work on even though i don't have the space for another toy... mine came in at 2158 when i last weighed it but was mostly bone stock at the time...

I believe that was a one year model in Canada.

Called an Uber for the Polar Turbo today… First glitch, nothing too serious.

When I was bringing i back from the Island last Saturday, I couldn't get an earlier ferry so I stopped by a pub for some food - the car was immediately surrounded by three women arguing about the color and what it was, after the color was agreed upon, then there was some commentary on the pink belts that they all thought was 'cute'.
I am not a 'cute' kind of guy, but I smiled and thanked them. @sdematt figured it was the belts that drew them in...

Pink seat belts?

Yeah, they actually look pretty good on the gray and teal interior.
Love that plate!
