I love this car so much, apparently 377bhp as standard, top speed 170mph! Anyone know of any modded lotus carlton specs? This car would just eat mine.

Obviously not the bodywork but imagine the power you could get out of it.

You DONT modify Lotus Carltons mate. You deserve to burn at the stake if you even think about touching them like that

This is where we differ! The carlton is classic its one of my all time favourites. Cant believe you would rather have a Monaro over that!

why are you contradicting yourself?? You say its one of your all time favourites (mine too), and that it is a classic, but are asking to see modified ones surely you then understand that modifying one of these from standard spec is sacriligous????

No way, its the same with any car. Il always want more power, just to be a cut above the rest, though im not one so bothered about modifying the looks. Im sure im not the only one. One of the main reasons i love this car is because its a wolf in sheeps clothing.

There's not ONE Vauxhall I'd rather have more than the LC...looks better than the Monaro. It's got almost cult status now within the car enthusiast ring.
I considered one as I have some cash put aside, if I got the asking price for the Astra then it would be something I'd hunt down. But not going to blow all that money on another car just yet.
