Here's what I don't understand: if weight is truly of utmost importance, why don't folks just buy Lotuses? Not trying to be a pain in the butt. Honestly asking for real. My understanding is that Lotus makes incredibly light weight, pure, stripped down driver's cars, with great performance. But, by the same token, my understanding is that they're perpetually on the verge of bankruptcy.
So, I don't get that. If weight is truly so crucial in a performance car, I would have thought that Lotus sales would be through the roof. And, yet, they seem always to be one foot in the grave.
What gives?
