1,500 pound weight with a 170 pound driver and 8 gallons of fuel // 47/53 percent front/rear left/right weight distribution // with 8 inch front 10 inch rear DOT treadwear 020 tires // 260 HP 200 ftlb torque make quick starts without abusing the clutch or the tires.

its kinda hard to believe u 7b8f10a8 wen u have nothing to back up ur words.... that thing cant go that fast cuz it has no aerodynamics that and the engine is tiny, those cars arent meant for drag racing, just the turns and short distances, but still an awesome car!

The ultima GTR 720 just beat this by nearly 5 seconds, and it was driven to the circuit and even has luxuries like aircon!!!

this summer to celebrate the golden 50th anniversary of the sevens over 50 people will drive from as far away as 1400 miles to a place called deals gap on the border between tennessee and north carolina where there is a stretch of road called the tail of the dragon with 318 curves in 11 miles
only the morgan plus 4 has been in production longer than the lotus/caterham 7
over 15 thousand lotus/caterham 7s have been built plus god knows how many replicas
around 80% are still driven regularly on roads and race tracks around the world

on a smooth straight level dry road with no traffic, hazzards, etc.
1st gear 3.3 seconds 0-60
2nd gear 2.0 seconds 60-80
3rd gear 3.5 seconds 80-100
4th gear 6.1 seconds 100-120
5th gear 8.8 seconds 120-140
i'm an old man 140 is fast enough for me
a man has to know his limitations
changing gears in a turn means you didn't put in the right one before you entered

i drive my caterham here and there, i drive my caterham everywhere, i have driven my caterham every month of the year, in the rain, in the snow, on the ice. the only time i don't drive my caterham is when there is salt on the roads, when i have more than 1 passenger or when i need room for a lot of stuff. i even have a folding kayak that fits nicely in the passenger seat while my camping equipment fits nicely tied behind the roll bar.

that is outrageous. even from the point of views of onboard- throttle to the hammer, an engine taking forever to go through a gear. Come on. Even sounded like crap.
