Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
I hear the Elfin is so raw that it makes the Lotus Exige feel like a luxury car.
I could probably live with driving an Exige once a week, but the Elfin would be like once a month! 29 days of recovery following

Yup the Elfin Streamliner is a weapon and a half.
Think of a normal Commodore SS 1700ish kg and 250kw (old engine). Weight/power = 6.8 kw per kg
Think of an Elfin 1090ish kg and 250kw. Weight/power=4.36 kw per kg
To get the equivalent grunt in a Commodore you need a 390 kw engine (people have got that out of a Holden engine but I think that they are rare).

It looks like the genIII LS1 still retained the wetsump from the pics. Is this true?
What gearbox is in these cars?
Thanks for the photo. You guys should bring a better camera next time:P
