But, a friend, who has one, has never been able to complete a track day without incident. Something always breaks or leaks or comes loose or....you get the idea. In fact, for the track, it's got too much power, IMHO. The power overwhelms the chassis and takes away that beautiful balance that Lotus originally created with the normally aspirated Elise/Exige and was able to retain with its supercharged Cup cars.

So what's the point for the RS besides the look and name?

I'm afraid of real fast cars! 
Plus I wanted that ridiculously huge Carbon Fiber Wing because I wanted people to make fun of me!

Hopefully mine will be here by the end of August or at worst early September. I can't wait to have a car I can finally 'burn rubber' with!
