Default Lotus Owners Gathering: Indianapolis





http://gallery.modifiedle.com/gallery2/mai...s_gathering_28/

[QUOTE]Each year Lotus owners gather in a different city to swap stories and compete in a series of events. Indianapolis was the host city this year and rather than fly in to town to observe all the fun, MLE approached Lotus for a press car so we could get involved. Lotus kindly obliged. We picked up a moonstone silver Exige S 240 in Detroit and traveled to Buffalo to meet up with the LOONYs

I saw an orange one and a lime green one driving one after another on I-65 south in the POURING RAIN!

If anybody knows those guys tell them I said hi!

Have you posted your driving impressions of the Lotus compared to the S2000? As someone who lusts after the Elise/Exige, I'd be very interested to hear.

Tomorrow I will try to make a post with pics of both cars and the comparison. Exige blows the turbo s2k out of the water.

Having owned an S2000 and driven several Lotuses, the Exige S is a better track car. It's much more neutral and easier to control on a track than the S2000. It is VERY raw though. It's loud in the cabin, it's VERY difficult to get into and out of. Amazingly it is still very comfortable.
