Hey All, I've already published two Top 5 videos on the 4C, so I thought it was time to do one for my Lotus Elise. So if you're interested, check it out. Best, Peter

…but why I love my 4C better…..?😂 Just hinting on a new video title. This is a 4C Forum after all. 😁

well, for that one you're going to have to wait until 2024 when I get a new car and have to decide whether to part with the 4C or the Elise. That's going to be tough!

EZ PZ, I will have to agree. I have an Elise (no supercharger), a 4C and a Porsche 718 GTS. All mid-engined. All a blast to drive. And all beloved by me.

But if I no longer had the financial means, I would keep the Elise and sell the other two.

Thanks for sharing Chester and for watching! It's gotta be tough to decide each day which of your cars to drive.

Just curious: what would be your considerations for this decision?

Did you adapt the alignment on your 4C, and maybe also the GMS uniball rear suspension arms to improve the dynamics of the 4C? Maybe that would influence the decision?

Also curious, though I have a bit of a hypothesis…

Of those three, I’m going to assume the Elise is the one you’ve had the longest. Is that accurate?

Do you think that plays into your consideration/opinion at all? I know it would for me (whether consciously or subconsciously).

I've owned the Porsche for 4 years, the Elise for 3 and the 4C for 1.5. I have loved Lotus since the Europa and then fell really in love with the Esprit. My first and only Lotus was/is the Elise. I understand your questions, but divining the reason behind it is kind of like comparing former and current lovers.

It was simple when I owned a 1989 Corvette and a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo at the same time. Back then I called the Corvette the "drop dead gorgeous girl" and the 944 Turbo the "girl who would f your brains out". It is nowhere clear cut with my current three.

In the end, it is truly hypothetical - and I don't want to part with any of them.
