its a lotus super 7, basically its an 1100lbs car with 120hp



mike[/quote]

a Lotus 7 was featured in an EVO magazine last year and the owner either converted one or had a kit made to suit his height...



he was like 6'8 or something!



(sorry this isn't directly related to the thread title, hehe)

Yeah but the gold plating in the engine compartment makes up for it.



Incidentally if you want a really mad 7 you need the Caterham Superlight R500 - about 1000 lb and 240hp - whoa Nelly! It beat a Yamaha R1 around a race track in one test evo did.
