Ive been reading a few threads on here and it would seem the 8v owners are trying to believe that there car is a supercar well this maybe true!!!
My mate has a Lotus Esprit V8 on a 99 plate!!! i had the honor of him letting me use it to go down to london in
before i left he said see what you can get out of her wont ya! (as if he needed to ask) so on the way back whilst it was at night i decided to have a play!!
A 160mph was soon showing on the clock and things were going by very quick!!! all of a sudden the car changed lanes on its own with no movement of the wheels
needless to say i sh!t myslef pretty bad... I pulled over and rang my mate to tell him somethign was wrong with the car and i was calling the AA! i told him everything and he said "have you got the lights up" i said "yes it is night dumba$$" he said "ok!" then he said "have you got the sun visor down" i said
"no its night time" he said well pull the sun visor down so i did.....
and on the sunvisor is a warning from lotus to not exceed 120mph whilst the lights are up as this causes a spoiler effect which lifts the front end of the car off and will make you lose all steering capacity!!!!
so all you 8v owners it looks as if you were to come accross a lotus esprit V8 and want to have a play you will eventually beet him at top end if he has the sunvisor down and is aware of this design flaw by lotus!!! of course if he aint to bad he may crash in to you!
