As opposed to the front backseat?

Well my old roomate had a 93 T/A with 57,000 miles on it back in 2004 that ran a 14.2@99mph with a 1.9 60' that was bone stock.. That was a good 60' for stock 16 inch wheels and street tires and with some DR's he would have ran a 13 second pass but that would not have been all stock! All I was saying is I have never seen a bone stock, Non Ram air,auto LT1 run a 13 second pass at the track.
I am not dogging the LT1 at all. I own one and love it just as much as my LS1. Hell I went 13.14@110 in my 02 WS6 with a 2.3 60'!! Thats a crappy pass. If I had a 60' of a 1.9 then I would have run a mid 12. I will be the 1st to say it that I suck at the track!! I cut less then a 2.0 1 time in my life and I broke a rear end doing it. I cut a 1.7 in my V6 on DR's that would have been a low 12 High 11 if it didnt break and everything else went right!!

That is.....A lotus Espirit like a 1995, with modified intakes on the back pillars, and a changed front bumper, and rear lower back bumper, but it is a Lotus.

Pertaining to original post I would say that yes other than drivetrain awesomeness (both LT and LS motors) I would say theres no real "sweetness" to 4th gens like the other generations IMO.
The only reason I ever considered getting a 4th gen is because as was said, 12 second passes and 30mpg highway is awesome.

which is why reading is FTL with you. they were modified. have to remember GM owned a little share of Lotus, so I wouldn't be suprised if they plucked one to use for hte commercial. I can't see them jeopardizing a small claim they ahve, let alone , to embarrass a n established sports car company.

I would go with the Modified Lotus. The front end has the most similarity. The rear end has more Lambo. Remember the Red Lambo in the Rocky 4. That looks more like that one. The black one he drove had a more square rear on it.

I highly doubt they made a kit car for that commercial, body kit maybe ,but not a whole car.

If they had used a real car they would have had to pay for the rights so I can see that I guess.

Yes, exactly. Plus the car does not have to run, or even move.
