All this stuff about being on a track has NOTHING to do with this post. It's a given that a Lotus is going to be faster around a track than a tuned 135i. It's also a given that an Atom is going to be faster than the Lotus, which goes back to my original statement that the two cars aren't in the same class.
The POINT of my statement earlier (and I'll repeat it for the 3rd time since you are totally ignoring it) is that it IS entirely possible for a 135i to outrun a Lotus. It is entirely impossible for it to outrun an Atom.
Nothing more, nothing less. Going on and on about power to weight and how the Lotus is a better track car is pointless
....NO SHIT IT IS! No one ever said anything to the contrary. The FACT of the matter is that in the real world the Lotus isn't significantly faster than the 135i in a straight line and a "kill story" from the OP about a Lotus would be believable.
