I think it matters because we see a company responsible for building a supercar and very fast muscle cars turning towards tuning an electric vehicle.

Morning Shift: Tesla transmission

The Morning Shift: CVT Edition

Or you could just spend the extra money on an Elise SC or an Exige if you want the rest of the goodies to go with the extra power, and hate your body.

and a supercharger kit for a stock elise is only a few grand if you wanted to go there

I'm guessing first owner somehow blew the original engine and this guy got it for cheap as a move up from a civic and applied what he knew and parts from a stolen and or crashed TSX. I can't imagine somebody would take out the perfectly acceptable and tune-able stock engine in the elise to gain a net of 16 hp,…

Haven't driven or been around an Elise have you. In stock form they are plenty powerful and sound fantastic. They even make that "VTEC kicked in yo!" noise.

I own an Elise, and I'll be the first to admit I am a little Lotus obsessed. But I'm going to have to say CP on this one. Even though the K24 is the darling of the internet, it doesn't offer enough of an upgrade over the similar 2zz. I know it's supercharged, but you can stick a lotus blower on the stock unit. So…

Especially since a pure Elise has Toyota's version of VTEC. There is no reason for this swap to exist.

What problem does this swap solve? Answer: none problem.

Even I think this is CP.

So where is the photo essay of the Cosmo (including interior)?

"get me away from that thing"

My brain frantically tries to blank off the right part of the image and to focus on the left side.

Youabian Puma. Iabian sick.

You're right! The two-seater could be a back-up plane for the Thunderbirds that is brought to Germany in case one of the primary planes has a failure.

Needs to be the two seat version so he can do a combat landing to pick up his dad. Climax of the movie is the two getting in a two on one dogfight , one splashed with missiles, the other with the cannon.
