doesnt the lotus elise not even have power windows, no cd players, and non-reclinable seats?
if youd take one of those things over a z06, youre nuts. the times do not add up, and that thing is just ugly compared to a z06.

No, it's coming with a new engine. The European one was "slow" cause it came with a 160hp engine. The one tested by R&T came with new engine, the celica gts's1.8L tuned to make 190hp and 133lb/ft of tq.
The cobra is almost as fast with professional drivers. It has clocked 12.3 i believe (they threw an icepack on the intake for a few minutes and did some other things but kept it stock). I've also heard of the corvette being able to pull faster than a 12.1 w/ clutchless shifts.....kinda interesting.

the car will not be available at dealerships in a 12.0 capable package, it just wont happen. end of story.
on the other hand, i can take a drive down to casey chevrolet and buy a 2003 z06 right now. so quit arguing z06 vs some lotus in a magazine. because that is all it is to a normal american in the market for a car, some thing in a magazine.
