The Elise has 40k miles, a 6-speed and a rebuilt title. The ‘Vette has 87.5k miles, an auto, and a clean title. Oh, and a $7500 Vortec V2 supercharger. What would you have?

Lotus.

Because Lotus and manual.

Simplify and add lightness...

Hmm. I’d say none of the above, because you can get a really nice early C3 for that. So... choice two, but not really.

Part of me wants to say Lotus because I don’t know anything about the person that installed the supercharger on the Vette and there’s more than twice as many miles on it, but at the same time ... Corvette. POWAH! Either would be fun for the price.

Fair enough.

CP on the Lotus first of all. If there were no rebuild title i’d go Lotus.

Lotus because if it still had a clean title, you would never track it.

Yeah I was thinking the price looked a little steep for a 10-year-old car.

Vette. Not the Lotus I want.

Vette.

They hold their value exceptionally well, most likely because you can’t buy new ones in the States.

And also region rarity could be a factor. I doubt very many Missourians would appreciate the finer points of the Lotus’s sharp handling and light weight.

maybe its close for a car in good condition, but with a rebuild title, probably not.

I’d love to take the Elise, but I would rather have the Vette. Everything about it checks my boxes. The Elise on the other hand is the wrong color, rebuilt title, it just screams no.

Well the Vette is more mid life crisis but I’d take the Lotus (if I wasn’t me).

Alright, if I had to choose - Vette all day slightly worried it’s going to blow up because it’s an 06 supercharged.

But Vette.

If it blows up you could part it out and spend that money on your Montego.
