....testimonial that if they keep producing heavy lotus like evora, it will be doomed.

Of course drag racing has nothing whatsoever to do with what Lotus is about. An Exige S wouldn't have done any better.

12.9 secs in 1/4 mile isn't so shameful, nor is trap speed of 109.9 mph. Make mine red!

I wldn't have picked the Nissan GRT to embarrass the Ferrari, et al, tho.

For those who tested their type 7 in the drag strip, what 1/4 a mile time you posted? .....just curious.

11.90

11.90

 

Is that time with the rotrex?

No old Vortec super charger. I think 7evins car is capable of 10.20 range with drag radials. He did a quarter mile 2 times during 1 lap a few years ago running Michelin PS2. His best was 11.90

now he is running 100 hp more than he was then. Notice wheel spin thru first three gears. 7evin doesn't do much drag racing. I think I could have gotten more out of it if I were driving. I have 100s of passes under my belt.

Forgot to mention - that was a slot car.

My dune buggy's 12.16 at 116 mph is better than half that field of overpriced hardware. I'd still take the Evora.
