The crazy thing is this LS9 powered one is supposedly worth 10x what a LSA powered one is. I understand that it's uber rare since the factory only made 4 but damn.

Looks enormous inside this is the car .... question is will it hold its value at least to some extent

How wouldn't it? This is the quintessential car guy's car. Has people's heads on a swivel, but is actually RELIABLE. And you're not trying to flex on people, either.

Do you have to have the appreciation argument to cover the issue? Because I don't have a single problem with ordering a brand new one just how you want it. It's a great fucking car at frankly a fair price.

@Max, my friend is 6'2" with long legs and says his seat is still 3 clicks or notches away from being all the way back. He said someone 6'4" would easily fit and be comfortable.

I'm 6'5, I've driven one on the track with a helmet and fit just fine. These things are really fantastic for all people.

Seems like it sometimes

I've been 6'5" since I was 20ish. Always a big boah.

I fit well in all modern Lotus vehicles. Even the Elise fits me better than a Miata.

Eh, I think it could be pretty worthwhile, Alan changed the suspension on the one I used to own. My Bilstein shocks on the C5 have been incredible. That said, I felt the stock springs on the Beemah were good. Do you have the M Sport, I can't remember?

Biggest issue with those cars is the stupid staggered tires. I would get a big front bar, shocks, and :255: all around and call it.

I have the M Sport. I also bought your old 255s from Melon. Probably fucked on the offset but I'll give it a shot. Worst case scenario they are not curbed courtesy of

I didn't realize my old made it all the way to CA.

Yep the biggest issue was the hence my bitching and the forceful change of my screen name under the last leadershit.

Having spent considerable time in an M3 compared to my M sport they couldn't even be more different. M sport is an appearance package. IMO.

I actually liked the suspension in mine a lot... it rode well and wasn't floaty, not a lot of body roll. It was perfect for a sporty DD. I was also happy to not have a bunch of "modes" and other BMW electronics to break (had I kept the car). The damn understeer was just

That's a depreciation nightmare

I fit in an Elise with a helmet on the track no problem. Getting in/out of it is rather but All of the English tiny people laughed at me struggling in/out of the thing, but once you're in, it fits.

Although not the illustrious 400, this one is good enough to bring me great joy and since it has a fairly low point of entry I really don't think it will be depreciating much.

You really think so? What are 981 GTS going for?
