Do some of you guys lie about the year of your car

[ADAMSLOTUS]

Just curious?

I happend to see a Lotus and its owner in my area about 2 months ago...I followed him and talked to him briefly..Little did he know i had a Lotus Esprit sitting in my garage at home.....He told me his Red Esprit was a 95 when clearly i knew it wasnt....(88 SE spoiler, Momo Wheel, Old Oz wheels)

I know to the untrained you can tell them any year you want and chances are they will never know...

Do you guys ever do what that guy did?

[Skerd]

No. One time a guy asked me if it had a V-12! When I told him it was a 4 cylinder, he didn't believe me.

No the car is good enough for me as it is. Still can hang with the V8's, I just have to be a bit more polished, work harder at it and make less mistakes. Force me to be a better driver. I do the opposite, I tell people I have one of the slow ones. Makes them wonder what a fast one is like.

Well mine is even slower but it is the one I wanted (NA S3). I am of the G-car brigade so chose as close to the year of change as possible. Can't lie about that.

Richard,
While your power band has a lower range than an SE. You have no turbo lag and your car is lighter. A friends S2 N/A is really quick at lower speeds and tighter course, he is also a very good driver and can best most SE's or V8's under those circumstanses. It does loose some pep at higher speeds (starts above 80-90 MPH). It's like my SE starts to loose ground to the V8's at around 130-140 mph. Even if we have one the slow ones (4 cyl.)as I refer to it, it is still quicker than many cars.
