I figure the new one's price would be approx the same as the one that's available now.

it's not just the engine them beta testers should be worried about. really sux driving a sports car you gotta baby. comptech all the way.
make sure you budget in a new clutch for something grabbier, perhaps a lightweight flywheel while you're down there (it was a must for me) and a steamroller set of wheels. slapping on a supercharger is just one step of really making the car sing. so you're looking at $6K SC, $1.5K clutch, $5K wheels and tires for the S2K baller setup.

Which is exactly why I'm thinking about just buying a beater track car
Still, I'm not going to make any decisions until I get a chance to drive a Lotus on the track and see for myself what I would be getting or giving up.
