Huge difference. Night and day. Energy goes directly into the pan. The pan itself is the heating element.

I need both 16s (Front: P195/50R16) and 17s (rear: P225/45R17) Any other ideas?

Those should be fine, they are pretty much top of the heap as far as that class of street tire. I like the ECS for it's rain performance, but I highly doubt your Lotus sees rain intentionally and the MPS4s is better in the dry. The Hankook V12 Evo 3's are okay for their price, but performance wise I was not that impressed compared to similar tires in that class.

What game is that?

Captain Snooze · 03-29-2021, 02:34 AM

Mum's Yaris is an auto but I play around with the gear selector a lot. The car I will probably get to replace the Yaris and the BRZ *sigh* has to be an auto (it has paddles) so I would still get to do something regarding gear selection. This is actually the biggest reason for me not to get a hybrid; one gear, no say in the matter.

My buddy read the news of how 400Z starting price is <$35k & telling me how it’s cheaper than he call it “Zupra” (he’s anti-BMW) & more powerful than the twins. Try to trigger me... but I just gave him thumbs up. Good for Nissan for try to keep bringing the Z. Don’t have much interest in the Z. That include every gen Z. Never had & prob never will. THAT triggered him instead. Even though he never owned one nor even thinking of buying one lol

I would want to know how many trim levels they will offer and just what you get for $35K before I decided if it was a good deal or not. I discovered a long time ago that a lower price does not automatically mean a good deal when it comes to cars.

But it is easier to play while holding a drink.

Haha just like Vette, you can technically get base model <$60k... but do they actually sell em? or dealership to stock base is totally different question.

I dunno why anyone has to get triggered.

I don't think I'd be interested in it either, but I'm glad Nissan isn't turning away from making somewhat low-end sports cars. Nice to know some manufacturers are still putting a bit of effort into that segment.

Same with the Supra, although I do like it a bit. So what it looks and feels BMW-ish? Better than nothing.

Yeah... he just want to trigger me, cuz he went through shitty days w BMW and Subaru. Now pissed off at Toyota for not making 86 & Supra by themselves. So now anytime he see anything to put down Supra/86 or Toyota, he forward that article. Which IDC much nor would I get triggered.

Other than automotive topic, he's a fine kid... just not automotive topic lol
