Fair point.

Except I also have a miata which gives 90% of the experience with 0% of the stress.

The other 10% of the experience is why I still can't let go of the Lotus. It does things. If I drive over a large pebble, I can clearly feel which side, of which wheel went over it through the steering wheel. It gives the the same information with road markings. It feels a bit like being able to interpret the road via the two front wheels as if you were reading braille.

It's quite an amazing thing to experience.

I drove a 2 eleven once, so I get what you are saying. And that ten percent is why they are worth every penny

You know. Those things are hard core.
