Gus 5 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 how does having back seats make it any less sporty? evo 8 FQ400....as quick round the top gear track as a murcielago....but has rear seats so obviously cant be a sports car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 Despite the fact an Integra Type R or many others are faster around corners and eveywhere else than a proper sports car for me one critera of being a sports car is no back seat, if they do theyre just a sports coupe at best Andy takes out back seats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) my guess is that someone swapped the wheels...on the bright side, think of the savings you will make when buying new tyres. Besides, I can guarantee that there are a few people on here with rear wheel drive BMW's that suffer from a fair bit of understeer.

Carl 3 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 man, you are full of sh*t, you hate grip as much as the next bloke....dion't lie to me Haha, ouch Given i've tried both 14" and 15" tyres on mine I really can't say the rim size makes anywhere as much difference as the rubber itself. The barum 15" I had had a side wall so soft it made them no better than 14". These direzzas are far far far superior, don't think they come in 14"...

Bullitt 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) The difference between 14" and 15" tyres dont bother me cause itll get new (read bigger) mags before i need new tyres anyway. Annoying not having the originals sitting in the shed though. I know where theres two sets, but both are $800 without tyres so it dont seem worth it when theyre not that much different looking, can get nicer looking wheels for the same money. To me sports car is a term, Im not denying there are plenty of cars that are better in everyway than a true sports car, but that dont make them sports cars to me. Anyway thats for a different thread. Will get pics on sunday Edited July 29, 2005 by Bullitt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2005 Agreed on the Lotus Elan, it is the best FWD car I have ever driven. It handles like a Lotus should. Brilliant car, a bit gutless though. No torque steering demon and you could get it to lift off oversteer with perfect balance. Still not a sports car. Korean built Lotus, still isn't the same as the real thing.
