they handle well in standard form. have a great hardcore look to em which give em a presence on the track even though they`re pretty small and compact.

i work for lotus and build the cars so you can say im a little biased but theres no denying how good they are.

Lotus know their market very well, and so you can get factory upgrades for EVERYTHING. This is my Uncle's car .

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/248235.htm

Which shows what is available direct from the factory . The trouble is, that this makes almost every single car completely unique and so unless you were buying it new, you would have to speak to the owner to see what it came equipped with.

Obviously everything can be added retrospectively - also check out these people for carbon bits for them:

Thanks for the offer bud but i'm not too worried about fixing it tbh - lets just say some non essentials are being stripped out of my FRS next year in preparation for the track
