I wondr how the Lotus would feel out on open B-Road sweepers and straight aways.. I imagine it would always seem out of breath.

Someone needs to come up with a throaty toquey high hp light weight EZlise like car.

Soemthing that will carve up the tighest tracks, yet still blast through the country side at triple digits without screaming to 10,000rpm.

I don't think an EVO has ever come out to the woods with us... but by comparison STi's seem to hold there own in sharper low speed cornrs, but really lose out on the long high speed sweepers - wonder how it does in high-speed cross country jaunts?

Nice set of light weights you played with there.
