The new Lotus Elise has the same style (and probably size) Brembo single piston (parking brake included) rear brake caliper as the Viper.

how great is it to be both envied and hated ?

 

[ARMORGOD]

Interesting indeed.

Thanks for the read...I sensed more respect and fear than hate....Its nice to be respected, but better to be feared

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Good read and always nice to get the accolades that the perception of size belie......this car handles very , very well, and we all know it!!!

the thread is hosted on the same site Pistonheads.com where our UK forum is as well (click on gassing station and scroll down) though a bit more technical than the stuff we normally post

seems viper knowledge is slowly spreading, the guy asking the question is in the US, take it he has been beaten up on the track already by a viper

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

Neil! Is there a Lotus contact that could investigate Lotus/Brembo rear calipers to see what parts and sizes can be purchased for our Viper brakes at the Lotus dealer?

[Tom F&L GoR]

Been there, done that, on their mailing list, too.
