I would rather take a Cobra R over a Lotus, only because of the rarity.

A Lotus will not drop like a standard car, but I still don't think it will hold value like a limited production factory race car, JMO.
Technically the Lotus as mentioned is a limited production race car too. What I dont understand is this...I know the lotus is LIGHT, but how the heck can that little underpowered sewing machine engine still match the big brute 380 HP Cobra engine? Doesnt the ITR motor only put out 200 HP? I know the lotus is light, but still shouldnt Cobra out power it in the top end?
