You think the lotus is a POS WFT? they may have a celica moter but they can hang with the big boys on the track. I like the Lotus but to his there own.

Every guy who I have met that owns one has been a dumb ass that thinks His shit don't stink. I'm not saying that everyone is like this. I would buy a porsche over this car any day. I'm a little bias because my dad is a porsche guy.

Porsches are a bit pricier than a Lotus. Base model Elise runs $48K, I believe.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:14

The base Porsche Boxster is $45,800

I'd take a Lotus over Porshe any day!!!! I love its body, OMG it's so sexy!

Here's your actual comparison...

So looking at their specs side to side, obviously Porshe is better, but as for the body style, I'd pick the Lotus.

that doesnt really show too much... like 0-60 1/4 mile skidpad

Huzer21 · Postby **Huzer21** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 9:14

Looking at those specs, I'd take the 1000lb lighter car! Moot anyway, as I don't come close to fighting in an Elise/Exige.

I garuntee you take that POS Boxster and the Lotus Elise to an auto-x and/or a HPDE the Lotus will prevail. The Boxster is a waste! Its for the cheap-ass that can't afford a Porsche. His penis is so small he'll get the Boxster to brag to his yuppy, Docker wearing, three-button Polo, popped collar, sweater hung over he's shoulder tied in the front, co-wokers that he owns a Porsche. I'd take any of the Mazda Speeds over a Boxster. Look at what any magazine compares the Boxster to, the S2000 & Miata. No what in hell you see a Boxster stepping up to the 350Z/G35, Elise/Exige, Audi TT, BMW 3-Series, etc... Instead they use the Cayman S to compare to such cars. And the Cayman S just bearly beats out the 350Z on the road course. The Lotus was built around track use then for public roads. The Boxster was built for the 70y/o retired couple to cruise on Sundays after chruch. You can't compare the two.

I would like to mension that my Dad has have two Boxsters and he is 52. And he is not a cheap ass because he spent $64k on the second one. This is what his looked like. It competed really well on the track, but not as good as his 911.
