The Lotii are a sweet breed, and win in every class they are in, almost exclusively. I hope that statement does not stir a furor, but let's face it. If you buy a Lotii, be it SP, P, or Mod - - you ha
Not all Lotii are fast, the ones you note are fast because of superior drivers and superior preparation. If you want to win you must study the rules, pick a car that will have a fighting chance, prep
Uhh, lessee here: 1. Super Stock - Lotus Esprit Turbo. Ever seen one a'them win? 2. AS - Elan, Esprit, Europa Twin Cam, Europa Renault. Hmmm, can't remember AS being dominated by a Lotus. 3. CS - 7,
Doooohhhhh, hope I am not gonna regret this but you are full of it on the driver part, IMNSHO of course ;-) Try takin a look at a few of those Lotus Champions when they drive somethin other than Lotu

Katie's right...there is one 7 (a 7A) which runs a 948cc engine, producing around 70 hp, doing its best to keep up with all the big bullies in the class. We call it the little car that can... ;-)--Pa

Hi Katie No more than an 850cc Fiat engine @ whatever hp it can muster. They may not have much hp but sure do corner nicely. See yah possibly at National Tour Judy San Diego {:>}

In response to yours: How right you are - - waaayyyyy too much turbo lag Since I have never seen or driven a stock Lotus (except Espirit), even on the street, I can't really address any of the Lotii
In response to my comment: John, You are right, (including about the Tiger) but do these cars really belong with the production cars? The Mazdas, Z cars, and Fieros are all about even in capabilities
