This Zero guy is a zero ..... I'm just takin my buddy for a drive through the twisties we weren't even thinking of tryin to be fast duhh.... No squealin tires, no corrections to steering input, no drama....
For smiles here is Philippe's comment on the car...

hello
you are all jelaous of Frank or what ? this man keep his passion alive, he makes what he says, and none of you has tried his car ! so shut up ignorant pigs !

Frank wanted to make the best car for the canyons ! but still beeing usable in any situation ! i went to california and i took this opportunity to meet Frank and try this fastest lotus !!!

i shall say he did it and far better than anyone could think !

i have followed many forums and the evolution since 3 years of this fastest exige ever build !!
most of you are talking about something they do not know, i mean the performance of this car and the feeling sitting inside with 700 bhp pushing you !

now i will share my experience with you because i have been with frank in the canyon during 3 hours, so i can describe the sensation .

when the engine start i noticed the deep sound of the exhaust and the iddle as stable as my exige cup ! so easy that you cannot imagine what is under the bonnet.
then we took the HW and the car was smooth as any other lotus elise.
But when you open the throttle, you enter in a new dimension ... the turbo has simply no lag and the rivs climb up to 8500 so fast , the waste gate set the boost and the dump valve blow off at any gear shift with an incredible sound !
this car is so fabulous ! the power comes immediatly and the torque push the car to hard when you exit a corner, i felt like a video game !!
during 2 hours we were on the canyon roads pushing the rivs, the turbo and the adrenaline !!! fantastic sensation, easy and always predictable.
it is by far the best car someone could expect in the canyon ! light, fast, with a very smooth power which comes at each throttle opening.
the sensation are far more intense than any other prestigious car in which i have been in my life (includes F430 challenge, 997 GT2, Z06...)
a real and ultimate Lotus with the best engine ever ! the videos which i have seen before i went in the car cannot reproduce even a little of what you feel inside !
we should simply realized the incredible work, time, also money , but mainly passion involved.
it is easy to make critics, or funny comparaison, but frank did what he wanted : the most fantastic car for a ride in the canyons !
and still usable on hw, with Aircon and music ! (not possible with an Atom !!)
it is furthermore reliable, i have seen it as we have a long ride including slow traffic on HW !

thanks to Frank for this sublime opportunity ! and unique experience
now my Exige Cup racetrack seems a little less magic ! but i know what is possible and efficient to make it fantastic ...

so you can still put critics or comments, but it will not change what i have experienced ... and you cannot even imagine it ...

So for the haters the car is no more ya got your wish.... But there may be another Lotus canyon toy in the wings and it won't be afraid of the light..

How long have you been mental?

With all that's been said, I think we're done.

I gave both sides the chance to be civil......
