Title: Lotus Omega modification
Post by: Lesopc on 20 July 2010, 23:39:55

What about a decent Lotus V8 lump instead of the GM based Straight 6, maybe from an Esprit, as this will keep the Lotus idea alive rather than just beefing up.

you will also have to find room for two turbos. Not sure what the Spec is on the Lotus V8 but i'm sure someone will have them

Hmm. :-/ Lotus 918, I believe. Rocking horse poo and not without problems. If I were looking to a V8 I'd just drop a GM V8 in, TBH. Along the Lotus path lies much heartache, I think.
