Back in the day when Jimmy and I owned Fiats (which we loved) we took solace in the fact tht our friends with British sports cars had it much worse...

It's a sweet ride but you can't flog it like you can a corvette.

Lotus knows how to tune an engine that's for sure

Thanks a lot. I almost forgot about that P.O.S. I had. Left me stranded everytime I rode it.

The Lotus is Chipped and is making about 450 hp. Turbos wont provide full boost in first gear, cus it's fragile, I think it is make of styrofoam cuz it is a light material.

It is pretty sweet hearing that little V8 at those high rpms, it screams.

Yeah sounds like a good idea buuuut, unless you have the tooling and or the equipment to either build your own parts or recondition them its going to be a very long and painful experience, looks like a 2 stroke bantam?
And finding parts will be a nightmare and very $$$
I grew up riding a oldschool 1970 b44 ,a big 450cc single thumper with a 4 spd gbox
Its kinda funny all the modern mx bikes now are
450cc 4 spd thumpers hahahahaha
