2020 GT410 On Order - ohweeeyeeeaaaahwaaa
Discussion
Long time no post gents
I have some quick practical questions. I live in a metropolitan city in the USA and the car is getting a special home that is basically just a garage with no power outlets to keep it on a battery tender.
QUESTION: Am I going to have issues disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to avoid a dead battery from parasitic drain?
I should be able to drive it once a week but there will be times when I travel I will not be able to get to it to drive. In my old 993 it is not a problem with mechanical doors and frunk release. In that era Porsche it erases some emissions data that require some miles driving to reset. Also have to reenter stereo code. Otherwise in that car it functions completely normal after battery disconnect. So curious about the Evora.
A secondary comment question is - I find the view forward a bit 'letter box'. The roofline or top of the windshield is awfully low compared to my 993. I'm 6'2" and fit in the car with room to spare but it was a bit concerning. Will I get used to that? lol Maybe a lot of the 'supercars' are like that. I've only heard 1 or 2 mentions of this out of over a dozen articles over the years.
I've wanted a lotus for over 20 years really starting with the Elise Mk1. Hope to see you guys on the twisties
