A&Q about Lotus
Q:
I am curious if anyone has actually dynoed to see if there is a power loss with just a Fujita or just a Stage II.
How about a combination of the two together. Is there any objective data to indicate power loss with Fujita and Stage II together.
A:
I have raced two 05 Elises, both red-go figure, off the line-good drivers, and I was able to pull away from them at the light and through it. This was in Vegas . They had stock exhaust. I have not dyno'd--shame on me. I also drove another 05 Elise, in Colorado and it just didn't seem to have the same
"thrust". One thing, at speed, over 70, it seems the Elises have less drag and are quicker to pull through 140ish. But, the Exige sticks like glue.
