But supercharged, full exhaust, stiffened valvetrain; with a cage, running on race fuel and getting about 1mpg in the city made it not good for rational use (hence the Corvette purchase to be DD).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yeah it's an Elise. That and the Beetle (1.8t/5spd) are my girlfriend's car.
No major plans. It needs tires and alignment. So I'm thinking turbo wheels and coilovers to justify those needed repairs.
Muffler delete.
Misc maintenance and repairs.
If the motor lets go, I will have to go with another LSx swap.
Low owners, high miles, decent records. Totally stock.
Since I got rid of my LS1 996 (which the current owner keeps making better). I had the following for daily driver: 800whp Viper GTS, '99 Corvette FRC (hard top) with bolt ons. The 996 is hands down the slowest, but is the most comfortable.
Really, none of the cars we own compete in any way with the others.
Lambo
: extremely difficult to drive around town, a monster on the highway, the exhaust note is orgasmic, ultra high quality interior materials.
Lotus
: go kart. Goes exactly where it's pointed, quick if you ring it out (which adds to the go kart feel), overall fun, and incredibly difficult to get in/out.
Beetle
: lightly modified & fully optioned, has enough pep to get going, comfortable, makes turbo noises, can haul lots of stuff, and doesn't seem to age.
996
: well laid out interior, decent power, good looks, proper gearing to make best use of the available power, in stock form it's a great GT car. With coilovers and good tires, the 996 has the best turn in of any car I've driven.
Thanks!
The Viper in mostly stock form is a good place to be, I had a '99 ACR for a daily a few years ago. But supercharged, full exhaust, stiffened valvetrain; with a cage, running on race fuel and getting about 1mpg in the city made it not good for rational use (hence the Corvette purchase to be DD). It was scary fast.

Fun fact of owning a new car, especially a German. Going through all the standard maintenance and upgrades. Going to have a lot of new parts coming in.
Currently looking for used cat deletes, muffler deletes, silicon intake hose and block off plug.
