Fastest, coolest Lotus in the U.S. in at SCC
May 23, 2011
Frank (Ronin) brings his very famous Lotus to us at Specialty Car Craft for painting.
The car sports an in-line shifter, supercharger and turbocharger.
And a new, bigger but lighter wing.
Now several versions later, a cool 663 horsepower.
Is it fast? Holy Sh*t!

That sounds like something a kid in a Civic would say...

663hp on a car that light? I can't imagine how that must feel.
