s2000 to Lotus - what's going to hit the spot
Discussion
Hi
New to this bit of Pistonheads as I currently run an s2000 as a weekend / occasional track car. I have loved every minute of having the Honda and it has never missed a beat - tremendous fun, hugely reliable, and plenty of punch from that amazing engine.
However three years have passed and the itch to upgrade has begun - and I really am sold on the idea of moving up a gear to a Lotus. I've been doing plenty of research into the different specs of Elise S2 and Exige 2 and 3 but I'm interested to get your thoughts on what kind of engine and spec car is really going to feel like a big step up in power, fun and thrills from the old 9000rpm Honda Vtech?
I've not driven an Elise yet but I've seen what they can do on the track, and I'm sure the cooking model is a blast - but if I'm looking to spend 20k on something I want it to feel like a real move up from the S.
all thoughts welcome
ETA - feel free to point me to some examples in the classifieds to illustrate your point!
