The only thing CTRs had going for them was the engine. Steering feel was rough, brakes patchy, gearchange passable and they look like breadvans, but not in a good way. I like the looks of the latest version, but again it's a step backwards with more weight and no more power.

Yes, the K20 engine is a remarkable peice of engineering :thumbs:

Its been used to power the Ariel Atom, and we all know how quick that is.

An Atom would probably do 0 - 60 in 3.2 with my lawn mower engine strapped to it :lol::lol::lol:

could have stuck ANY engine in it, but they chose the Fabled K20 :p

 

the 2zz from toyota is just as good ;) revs to 9000 rpm, has bugger all torque and is only really powerful after 4500 rpm

 

thats why lotus use a supercharged version in their exiges

True, as is the Jackson Racing Supercharged K20 Ariel atom, still a road car that can clear speed bumps, but will crush any car over a quarter mile (650bhp Per ton), granted it may not have a roof, so you`ll get wet, and probably need a skeleton made out of granite to cope with the ride quality :surrender:

Ahhh yes, that's what I got rid of (in a Celica T-Sport) to get the zed. It was a very fun engine when driven hard and the character of the car and engine really did push you to drive the nuts off of it at every opportunity! I find the Zed positively laid-back in comparison!

 

Oh and the non "-S" exige used the engine without a supercharger and I'm driving one of them at Thruxton some time this year :yahoo:

I personally dont like ford motors due to all the younger lads driving them, I like Jap cars better more reliable imo.
