I think in a straight line the Lotus would probably pull away slightly but not in Knight Rider style but in terms of cornering and handling you'd have been all over it.
As for the others I would expect nothing less.

I would'nt attempt to take on a car with a 176mph top speed (from the factory) at top speed, i think id get to 160 first then back off and await the inevitable, it was in a fast twisty section though come to mention it where were you coming frome castle combe, when i had to stop and wait for you?
come to mention it where were you coming frome castle combe, when i had to stop and wait for you?I then got caught behind a L200 pickup which pulled out on me at the cross roads in the 40 zone, much as I wanted to catch you up I wasn't going to kill myself to do it.

Well I took notice of the 30 limit unlike you, no wonder that woman in her garden was shaking her head as you must have gone at some speed out of the village after the left turning.

Some nice pics there Shaun, I do like the one of mine - have you post edited the pics as the colours are quite vibrant or have you altered the camera settings such as the aperture - apologies for the questions but I'm quite interested in knowing.
I usually stick my FZ18 or D90 in IA mode and let the camera do the work for me.
