Maybe you would like the new Lotus coming out - 374bhp/tonne, 650kgs - should be pretty fast!

That's so ugly it comes full circle and is pretty again. I'd pimp it, but only if it'll out-handle my FD. If it can't do that (like the Elise can't), then there's really no point in it. If looks could get you around a track however, that would be one car in my top 20 of all time.

You just cant see teh gas pedal in the picture, it is behind the brake pedal.

Possibly... but that thing probably doesn't even have a reverse, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the clutch because plenty of sequential cars have the same setup.

Well, be surprized then, because it's not.



What on earth you make you think that it wouldn't have reverse? Very few racecars don't have reverse

For every car you show me with the reverse on a lever like that i'll show you 5 where it's the clutch.

I didn't say that the lever was to engage reverse. I said that most racecars have reverse because you said it probably didn't have a reverse gear. Even Formula 1 cars are reguired to have a reverse. It would make sense for that to be the reverse lock-out, but I don't know.



I still don't think it's the clutch.



Interestingly, if you Google "Sport Exige Shifter", this thread is the first link. We talk too much.
