Well in my opinion I Think the Lotus 340R is the Closest you can get to have the "Go-Kart" experience in terms of handling and agility for the street.

It may be not pretty as it resembles an insect , but is shure good fun.

I don't recall another car that can do this , besides a Super 7 perhaps.

If someone has already posted this, sorry in advance.

the mini would certainly be much more stylish to get around in than the aluminum lotus :lol: :lol:

Yeah. First batch car. I said I will only buy it if it comes in the first batch, since I want it for the summer.

I am 10000000% with him.. The mini respons is great.. and as said some modifications to the car already good suspension and some slick tires that thing will stick to the grown like glue..

The Radical is a Go-Kart too.. only bigger.. :D.. I saw it in action and I can tell you it sounded great with that 205Hp bike engine rev to 11,000 rpm.

I would love to have a mini as my first car.I have seen some up here for $8000
or around that price and because they have low hp that means low insurance. :P

We do get the Elise though just not the 340R and you can get a Noble that's pretty close. And you can find an old mini or buy a new one.

We are getting(dont have it yet) the Elise which costs $40,000 (btw 340R was a limited edition car)...yea i think ill just buy a go kart and take it to the track

The new Mini is pretty good though. And I think the Noble is one of the best cars in the world and now the new one is damn sexy.

The Aerial Atom is way fuckin cool with the Honda motor.

The new mini dosnt seem to have that absoulute weightless feel obviously because its heavier, But a original Cooper S is a little goer but it would get toasted by these
