    you know, I can understand this if I had a honda or something, but it IS a lotus. I'm pretty sure it at least qualifies as "fast" :P

    Not really...lol I've been in more Hondas that would rape an Elise than a fast Elise. Stock they're painfully slow.

    Supercharger, the way a car looks is meaningless.

    lol, this is the only place I've ever been where 0-60 in 4.9 seconds on a stock car is considered slow...

    and exactly how many of those hondas were stock?

    I want to be clear, I was leaning towards the supercharger.

    That said, the more people call the car slow, the more I want to get the paint to be a dick

    should I also mention that my past cars have been features in movies, and that my lotus will almost certainly also be (my wife's is..).. so looks DO matter at least a little bit

    guys, my past cars have been corvettes, evos, etc... (hell, again, my wife has an exige s.. that thing is crazy fast - and no it is not stock)

    I am not saying the lotus is a supercar or anything - I am saying you guys are being unreasonable in not considering it to be a fast car. The lotus is roughly as quick 0-60 as my C5 Corvette was. I generally recall them being considered "fast"
