Factory Specs?

 

for the lotus? yes.

Lotus Esprit was also in James Bond, it's SUCH A COOL CAR. There is one in Hawthorne, I've driven past it a few times and everytime I do I kinda stare and go "wow, that's so cool... that's SO LOW!!!"

 

Funnily enough, my Excel is the fastest car I've ever owned. It's faster than even my Corolla! And my Lancer GSR... SO WRONG.

fook, we need to do something about that rather quickly..

And, to add to that, my Excel was also the most "sik" car I've owned. From the mags, black tinted windows, big chrome exhaust tip, "sports" exhaust, Kings lowered springs, Munroe gas shocks (and of course I had the shopping list down the side of the car to illustrate this fact), to the "detailed" grille, "blue" headlights, big stereo (including subwoofer that used to make the rear hatch glass vibrate), it was SIIIIIK :( It was so stiff that when I drove over driveways it used to pick up wheels, FULLIIIII SIIK!!! :D

 

And, hahaha. It was also faster than my then-girlfriend's IS200 :lolcry:

And, hahaha. It was also faster than my then-girlfriend's IS200 :(

now that i find hard to believe....

Strange but true. The IS200 isn't actually that fast. It was about as fast as my GSR. It'll pull away after about 100km/h or something, but up until then the GSR would keep up no problems. Same with the Excel. It would pull away from the IS200 until it got to maybe about close to 100km/h before the IS200 would start to catch up again.

 

Obviously this is straight line speed, the Excel couldn't handle to save it's life. Fun to drive though :(

hmmm i suppose...

 

a standard IS200 claims to do a 17.6 over the quarter.

 

11.3 seconds from 0 - 100kph.

 

i actually thought they were faster than that....oh well slap a turbo on the side and go for broke :)

Wow what are you running in the exel? any pics?

No, the Excel is long gone (thank god!). Engine wise, apart from the exhaust and a pod filter it was stock as a rock. Oh, and it had a monster tacho, AWESOME PERFORMANCE MOD :)

 

I sold it to some guy, and the day he brought it home his girlfriend drove it through the garage wall...

hahaha nice, one less riced up excel :)

Oh how i dislike the Excell's...... No Offence of course.....

 

As for the topic....

 

What about the mazda 929 or 626? I can't remember.....

 

2L Turbo, I'm pretty sure its carby fed.....

 

They were = FAST :)
