You know a Corolla that sounds like this? 🤣

There are quite a bit of difference if you look closely. Some people might think the similarities are part of the "heritage" and "history", like the 911, but some might think it's just design laziness, haha

I believe the rwd version should feel more pure, and it's lighter too, are you looking to buy one?

The gearbox is pretty good, but I didn't get to drive the car though

So you like the wing? Or no wing?

road car manual no wing … PDK track wing

@brianhimmelman420 yes, that's the typical choice, but you don't think the GT3 is supposed to have a wing?

Yes, looks is a very personal thing, You think the FK8 looks better?

@@sundaymorningdrives yeah it's look like angry mom 😬

Hahaha, ya, it's a very nice sportscar isn't it?

you had a GTI right?

@@sundaymorningdrives Lol yup I have a 24 380 edition right now.

@@RaceCarFriends is that a special edition from stock?

@@sundaymorningdrives Yup it's a special edition created by VW it's the last of the manual gearbox GTI's.

@@RaceCarFriends oh wow, I didn't know that, I don't think they have it here in NZ

It's not that bad right? 🤣

Glad you enjoyed it, do you own a GT4?

The touring is very beautiful, have you seen one in person?

@@sundaymorningdrives Yes, quite a few as a matter of fact. One of my favorite colours is the PTS Oslo blue. I currently drive a PDK 992 4GTS which is a great car with impressive performance. But the GT3 remains my dream. Who knows… 😄

@carfan3762 wow, nice! The 4GTS is a great all-rounder, you can drive it under any weather conditions 😀, good luck with getting a GT3 Touring in the future

You are very welcome, what do you think of the 718 Spyder?

You mean the beast? 🤣

Yes, I agree, it ties back to the original Elise, but isn't most of the parts? I read something that Lotus tried to change the side mirrors but couldn't find anything lighter 🤣

@@sundaymorningdrives I can't comment on the side mirror story, that's news to me! The fact it shares so much with the Elise is what makes it special, for me at least. I once owned Elise Mk1 no. 538 for 7 years and sold it with a full gearbox and Honda engine conversion.. I still regret selling it to this day.. had the S2 Exige S which is still the most reliable of any car I've ever owned to date.. but not as exciting.. covered 30.000 miles in 3 years.. and then another two S3 Elises.. love them! I enjoyed the videos you guys did and they were the catalyst for getting another.. Hence my purchase of a used 390FE earlier this year. Mine is blue with no black pack, which means silver wheels, coloured air intakes and front bonnet in body colour, which makes it look very different and more classic in my opinion. Love Carbon.. but it's expensive to replace LOL. However, I still think that an S3 Sport 220 has the sweetest ride / gearbox shift action of any Elise derivative, again personal opinion. All the best to you guys!

How are you enjoying your 390? Have you had it for long? You track it?

@@sundaymorningdrives I'm having some engine management issues due to the fact that the standard steering wheel with airbag has been removed in favour of a detachable mono wheel. the specialist I'm using knows what he's doing but my final edition has a coding issue which is very rare, but Lotus have helped to solve the problem, so hopefully it will ok in two weeks time when it will be finally fixed! I can still drive the car but because the engine management light is on I can't select any other drive mode.. I haven't tracked it yet. I have installed the exhaust valve controller switch which is awesome.. It's as loud as my Huracan EVO rwd which is amusing!

I am pretty sure you can do that yourself 🤣

My GT3 is a PDK, the Porsche PDK is pretty amazing, probably the best on the business.

@@sundaymorningdrives No question the PDK is great but it’s rare to see such a car as a manual today, I just love the involvement a manual transmission offers

@gockelxxxxxl9584 yes, agree, I have a couple other manual sportscars, so having a PDK GT3 is just perfect for me, feels like I am missing out the best technology if I didn't choose the PDK, haha 🤣

@@sundaymorningdrives In your case it is different but as a 24 year old I don’t have the money to buy one of them but the ride in the GT3 made it one of my life goals (which is archivable unlike something like the Carrera GT). But thanks to the owner of the GT3 I’ll have thee opportunity to drive some cars soon I otherwise never be able to (he also has an Aston DB12, 991 GT2RS and a 918 Spyder which I’m so thrilled to drive on time). For the time until I earn enough money to buy a Carrera T (in Rubystone Red or Viper Green) my bicycle does the job and if it’s needed I can take the Volvo 850R of my father (believe me, this car still drives so well and it was co-developed by Porsche, so give it a try if you can). Luckily I live in Germany where I don’t need a car so I said to me that my first car should be a Porsche and if my studies go as planned I will earn the money in a few years.

I've driven so many manuals in my life , I'm over them. Pdk for me.

That's good to know, is the JCR exhaust much louder than stock with valves open? I commend your bravary in dailying your GT3, haha

@sundaymorningdrives yes its extremely loud inside and out when on it, i call it the Jekyll & Hyde button

@@adjrasta9365 hahaha, sounds like an exciting mod, I might look into it. How often do you track yours?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I never knew about the AP1 flywheel, so it's a much lighter flywheel? And I would imagine that the revs will move up and down much quicker?

@@sundaymorningdrives The AP2 flywheel is about 21 lbs and AP1 is around 15 lbs. Revs thus drop faster between gears. For me the impetus was that the clutch had slipped from new (had 100 miles on it when bought), so I installed new stock clutch parts and a new AP1 flywheel. There was also a delay valve in the clutch master cylinder that I removed, although I don't think it made much difference.

@bannister556 I see, thanks for the insight, I find the rev speed much better in my S2000 than my FL5 TypeR, there is very obvious rev-hang in the Type R, but the S2000 is generally pretty good. I would imagine it's even better with the light Flywheel though, good mod!

The doors goes upward, so tbh it's probably better to get in and out in tight spaces compared to traditional doors

@@sundaymorningdrives true but will wait for actual footage of how they work in tight spaces. i saw other videos also and the overly sensitive door sensors is something that im worried about. thank you for your reply tho

@robbert15011988 no problem, glad to help, seems like a good car overall though, hopefully can test drive it soon

They are beautiful colors 👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Are you thinking of buying one?

@@sundaymorningdrives yea very close to ordering one just need to test drive it , random but is the steering wheel the same fabric as used in Tesla’s ?

@KGplays_ sorry I don't have the answer for that one. It's a great hot hatch though, you will love it! What color are you going to pick?

@@sundaymorningdrives white or black

@@KGplays_ not the special green color?

Oh nice, I will go check it out! How are you liking/using your car?

@@sundaymorningdrives in my GT3 I got the 18-way seats and I love them. I had the buckets in the GT4 and let’s just say it didn’t get driven as much. I love the GT3. I do wish it launched a bit more like the Turbo s, but it’s way more fun to drive.

@@AverageCarGuy Do you take them to the track? The GT3 is not really a straight line car, I have never launched mine, I don't really see the point haha

@@sundaymorningdrives I do, but I nearly daily mine. I don’t launch often, but when I do it’s leaves a lot of the table.

@AverageCarGuy hahaha, ok, good to know you drive it a lot, you don't find it too harsh to drive everyday? I applaud your bravery 😄

Yes, they look pretty cool, anything else?

Yes, should work on all S3 Exige

Oh wow, congratulations! Must be so exciting getting this amazing car soon! Let us know how you like it?

This is wheel hp, different to inflated bhp.

@@RRR_Motorsports I see, wow that's a real eye opener. So the actual HP at the wheels is 130? Damn that makes me bit sad being an owner of a 2019 Swift Sport... I guess it's still nippy enough and can carry 5 😅

@@sungketpatel30 they make good torque, have short gears and are light It's definitely a fun car

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes the roof is a little inconvenient, but it does accentuate the shape makes the car look very exotic, don't you think?

@@sundaymorningdrives Yeah. I had a Solstice GXP when they came out. it had the same type of roof, and I never remember complaining about it. But that was a much less expensive car. I still fine the car attractive though.

@chadbledsoe2416 yes, I think this car was designed and meant for sunny day driving haha 🤣

My car was probably the least expensive in the lineup 😅

@@sundaymorningdrives Yeah, but you have great taste in cars! And that’s proof you don’t have to spend a ton of money to have something cool. Besides, you have the greatest sports car on the planet! (S2000) Or maybe I’m a bit biased…

@mikeyerke3920 hahaha, no, you are perfectly fair 🤣

interesting, I never had that happen to me before, but I only used the datalog a couple of times only. Probably best to take it to your dealer and have them investigate why that happened

Yup, definitely not new anymore, but still a pretty good compact family car

I know, horse powers are cheap with electric cars 😆

GT3 RS? 🤭

Not much storage space in the Exige

No, they are prices in China, just converted into NZD, it will be much more expensive these prices when they come to NZ, because of taxes etc.

@@sundaymorningdrives That is why I was so surprised. Thank you for info 😀

It's very fast, just not that engaging to drive 🙄

Yup, it's definitely the better cat in terms of performance! Have you driven a 981 before?

nice! So what are your memories of these classic Lotuses?

That's quite impressive! It's already being delivered over where you are?

Thank you! They are very special indeed! Are you familiar with Lotus cars?

Haha, thank you, would you pick the GT3 or the GT4RS?

@@sundaymorningdrives I knew you were going to ask that🤣with my driving the GT4RS

Reason?
