Cool Been for ride in Lotus Esprit GT3 with NOS!

Went to see a friend the other night. Not seen him for a few years but I'd heard that he'd bought a Lotus Esprit last year. He took me for a spin and we overtook a line of 3-4 cars on a straight section. Half way past he hit the Heated Rear Screen button (stealthy NOS switch) and the rev counter wound around a lot quicker. The difference was awsome - probably better still for the driver!
He demonstrated from standstill to warpspeed with NOS engaged too. Well fast. Car was very smooth and planted too. I'll post a piccy later.

Have you seen the size of the rear screen in the Esprit? Not worth having one IMHO.

Sounds amazing, however, Lotus plus NOS sounds like disaster in the making, of the financial kind.

Never driven one but its my favorite in GT3 !
