ah ok after much searching i finally found it was once a puny v4.
thank you for correcting me. as a fan of lotus i should have known this.

now go eat your meat so you can have some pudding.

Chicane, once again thanks for "educating" the masses. The 4 banger Esprit was a 2.2L Turbo before wedging in a V-8. I'm sure we can come up with quite a list of impressive 4 cylinder cars for Nik. Sound like a challenge.................... I went first. Lotus 2.2L Turbo. Next......?

Sorry, I meant most, not just about any. There are very few 4bangers I would concider but a Lotus is still a Lotus and a Porshe is still a Porshe. I am a big fan of the STi as well. But to me, there are a select handful of maybe a dozen 4bangers that I would concider compared to the 1000's that are out there.
