saw one sexy car today on the road.
 
i was driving to a job interview today and i saw this british racing green car in the distance, it was small and low to the ground... anyways further down the road i get close... its a lotus espirit... 350 turbo... :eek:

the guy ripped it from a light and my god the engine sound is orgasmic.... had an odd sounding BOV not loud like those blitz units but it was subtle... had to have been one of the fastest accelerating cars i've seen with my own eyes on the street....

He wasn't going fast, you probably had the gear in reverse and were going the opposite direction...

imported_gatherer 24-Sep-2003 02:41 PM

imported_BoOsTd 24-Sep-2003 03:03 PM

punkindrublic 24-Sep-2003 03:08 PM

i swear it... i got pictures in my head.... and not to say my car is fast but that car was in no comparison to mine for speed what so ever

punkindrublic 24-Sep-2003 03:09 PM

:dito:

but the espirit has the turbo V8... 3.5 liters i think... i dont think the espirits have 4 bangers... the elise does though??

bbarbulo 24-Sep-2003 03:25 PM

depends on the year... they used to have 4 pots :) then one year... poof, same body style grew an extra 4 cylinders. :shrugs:

Nova_Dust 24-Sep-2003 03:37 PM

Rick, I believed you bro. I believe you were in reverse gear... LOL

ok ok, kidding bro.

That's a nice ride.

hmmm really?? i had no clue... i'd only seen them in gt2 and 3... you could boost them in gt3 up to lik 1070 hp... and the cars tops speed in the game was like 270 mph

bbarbulo 24-Sep-2003 03:41 PM

Naw, they were 4 cyl turbos pushing 250 hp or so (way more than a factory 4 cyl should have been pushing at that time)... when they went to the V8 things changed... it was a massive four cyl though if I remember correctly.

Saab makes some nice 4 cyl turbo cars too :)

rick, are you awake yet ?

no sorry i'll be out of your moms bed in 30 mins we're just finishing up








saab even makes some nice n/a 4 bangers... my friend had a late 80 saab something or other... had a 2.3L 4 cylinger.... the car had such short gearing that it could do burnouts in first, then shift to second still spinning... then shift to third and still spinning... but that was probably more due to gearing then brute hp.... or possibly a torquey engine too
