200 mph club Lotus Esprit

 

sucks to spend over $40,000 and not hit over 174mph

 

That Lotus was very unreliable, I hope they're not the DSMs of Europe.

 

why would they try that in the rain?? thats wut im wondering

 

That's sort of what I'm getting at. If they were on a budget, and trying to hit 200, why choose that of all things imaginable? I personally would pick something with a lower drag coefficient and something that parts are cheaper for. Definitely not a lotus, or a vw for that matter
