I completely lost interest in the Emira (at least the early editions) after I saw the GT4 RS lap video. I won't be able to get an allocation, but I'll sure as hell at least try (granted: different price points and class of car, but the Emira seems largely fungible with my 981 GT4, so if I'm going to spend money on an "upgrade," I want an actual upgrade).
If Lotus builds a track-oriented Emira, I may circle back after I inevitably fail to get an RS allocation.

You're probably thinking of the Elise/Exige. I suggest looking into what some routine jobs involve on the Evora, which is what the Emira is modeled on. Clutch is a good starting point...
Lotus's parts/distribution network is notoriously problematic, as well. If you want to track this thing, good luck. I love what Lotus represents in theory, but the ownership experience doesn't begin and end with how the car drives.
