and lost
i was suprised really as he dident really pull away from me as fast as i was expecting, i wasent that far off, as he pulled away slowly, was plezed with my little corsa (and yes he was giving it some before any says anything)

also
-TVR Tuscan, lost but not my loads, only slowly pulling away (on motorway)
-BMW Z3 2.8 (my m8s car) bullyed him all the way up the motorway to about 120, he wouldent let me past so i slowed down........

and before anyone starts going on about racing kills, i know the score, the TVR and the BMW was l8 at night on a empty motorway, and the lotus was a like once in a life time race

My Dad used to have one and it was as quick as F*ck.

So I would imagine the Lotus carlton driver wasn't trying.

The Lotus Carlton and Tuscan wouldn't just beat a Corsa they would completely spank it. A Lotus Carlton as standard on a quarter mile runs 13s, a Tuscan is in the 12s!

No way at all were either of them trying that hard.

If it was a REAL Lotus carlton it would rip you to bits mate!

They are one of the most powerfull cars going.

Must have been a kitted up one,they can be very convincing.
