Snoopy1969 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @The Pits reminds me of Clarkson´s famous Evora NA vid, driving "off road" ...... nice shot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I can say that the splitter is ideally placed for keeping your lawn short. However the MPSC2s are as utterly hopeless off-road as you might expect. That was actually a grass landing strip so very flat but it was quite an adventure getting it back onto the road again.... I'd strongly advise avoiding fields altogether at this time of year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFO Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wonder how different the GT430 would feel on MPS4S tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevsked Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Can you imagine the mess that front splitter would be in after a trip into the kitty litter? Quote I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trevsked Posted January 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Only 400 miles in so far but my feeling is that Lotus have produced another landmark car here. The ride is fantasticly fluid given the oh so flat cornering, it really is something else. Trevor. 3 Quote I'll get around to it at some point.

The Pits Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Another Esprit Sport 300 moment? Needed to be really at the price but I think the similarities are stark. Big price increase. Modest power increase. Wider tyres. Radical, race inspired aero package. High spec suspension. Race seats. Benchmark power steering. Both just under 1300kg. Both limited to less than 70 cars. Both built for corner speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hml_xy Posted January 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Many greetings to everyone here as well, new member from Germany with a battleship-grey GT430 Sport. The car is still at the dealer, I will finally take delivery of it end of this months after having a PPF and some custom hifi installed (thx to @JayEmm and your very helpful tips in the hifi upgrade thread). Just took some pictures while the car was still being worked on, so more to come in about a week. Looking so much forward to having it, hopefully the weather will play along... What is the overall opinion on the lack of the exhaust button - is the GT430 "loud enough" to have fun also below 4500rpm? 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW76 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @hml_xy congrats!!! Stunning car!! From the picture above it looks like you bought it were I bought mine a couple years ago. I am from Düsseldorf as well and drive a matt black EX460 btw. Is the GT430 going to be your daily? Are you planning to take it on track? I am on track regularly a couple times a year...

The Pits Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Very nice! I don’t know of any GT430 Sports in the UK yet, at least on the Autobahn you might be able to use the extra top speed! many congratulations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m not really a track guy (hence the "Sport"), but it will be more of a weekend toy for B-roads and trips. And yes, I bought in Wuppertal - most likely the dealer you had mind. Can´t say anything bad about the guys so far. Really really good customer experience. Had my F-Type there as well for a few years for service and tires. All other, thanks for the kind words! I seriously can´t wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW76 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yep - they do a good Job there in Wuppertal... If it was a matt black Exige CR it probably was me ... just found out from Lotus btw that they only built 10 CRs in matte black world wide... I think mine is the only one in the area ;-) Cheers Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
