How does it car compare to a 240R?
I guess not much in it but would be interested to hear owners opinions and though it has some upgrades, noted some criticism of throttle response with the later fly-by-wire system during "search".
Intended use is weekend/track car. Any issues with overheating on track with the supercharged cars, compared to N/A?
P.S. Not considering Honda/Audi/Duratec "conversions", as want to go factory for local back-up.

It's just a newer version of the 240R really, less fancy trim inside, has the 4 pot front brakes which isn't a bad thing, throttle response not quite as good but you'll get used to it quickly enough.
I've done a large number of miles on track in my 240R and have not had any issues until my engine mounts finally gave up a month ago, but that's after 15000 miles on track and is a cheap fix (Lotus have modified the mount now and I've got the new design in the car which the 255 will have anyway).
Performance wise bugger all in it, 243 hp against 251 hp, so all down to the driver really.
