Darren-B Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I miss my Lotus so much, wish I still had it, but the zed is almost as much fun, depends if you prefer going around corners quickly or sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Great Sig Save your pennies, and get down to a few meets, this is going to be a good one viewtopic.php?f=19&t=24148 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=24147 Any pics of the exige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick43 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'd suggest AndyZ that this was down to driver skill on the day, and/or the limit the Exige driver was willing to push for whatever reason. The Zed is a great car but IMHO wouldn't out handle an Exige - unless you're running some serious mods ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'd suggest AndyZ that this was down to driver skill on the day, and/or the limit the Exige driver was willing to push for whatever reason. The Zed is a great car but IMHO wouldn't out handle an Exige - unless you're running some serious mods ? People have said this before but at 100+ mph an exige could not lose me and you could hear he was flooring it!! Not saying anything about handling though, i know i'd get p*ssed on then.

S1 HNK Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Andy, where you from? Any pics of the exige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyZ Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Cheers Darren-B Yeh I must get to some of these meets!! Sorry no pics of the Exige, only those in my rear view mirrors... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyZ Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Mick43, I think it was brute force from the Z that left the 220 bhp Exige behind, must admit it was a close one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyZ Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi S1 HNK, Im from the Preston area in Lancashire. I went to my first 350Z owners meet near Blackpool last Friday and I was the only 350Z there.... All the other cars were 240Z, 260Z and 300ZX's. Sound guy's but was disappointed there were no 350Z's Will check out other meets in the NW if there are any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fien Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 In 5th gear the zed should outpace the exige. Lotus' are great at short sprints and handling but they havent got the big engines to cope with really high speeds where as the zeds just a brute!

Vik54 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I miss my Lotus so much, wish I still had it, but the zed is almost as much fun, depends if you prefer going around corners quickly or sideways My neighbour loves his Lotus' - he's with Scottish Elises.............we've had many 'discussions' - though now he's driven the zed and got the bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Be careful as there is more and more modified elise/exige out there. I should be picking up my low power (205bhp) duratec conversion next week but there is plenty of Honda/Audi conversion out there. One chap is fitting an S3 engine and dyno plot at http://www.dyno-plot.co.uk/dyno/dynoplo ... ronics.htm Extremes are http://www.timeattack.co.uk/ta%20driver ... ielmi.html with 450bhp standard setup and can go up to 600bhp would be intrested to see how my NA car will drive versus a zed.
