I went for a drive with a buddy who bought one of these about 2 months ago. We only did one run in the straights, but I didn't want to post it here thinking I'd get flamed for doing straight line racing in an S vs an Elise. Kinda like taking a DH spec Mt. Bike on the Tour, right?
In 4 hours of driving we only did ONE straight run simply flooring it in 1st at 5mph (not in VTEC, no significant boost at that RPM for me) to 100mph.
I may have hit the gas a fraction of a second before, he passed me before the 1-2 shift and stayed ahead the entire time. Maybe by 100mph I was starting to reel him in. Very scientific, I know
I do have some pics, I'll post 'em when I get home.

His car cornered far better than the S. However, when it comes to cornering, I'll bet Schumaker in an S2000 could destroy most drivers in an Elise... know what I mean? Yes, the interior is spartan, as it should be in this sort of car. The CNC machined door hinges, and completely flat undercarriage are the sex!
Actually the the Toyota 2zz engine will easily put down 160-165 whp stock....mine did. With intake,exhaust, header, and tune it can easily see 180-184 whp. And most s2k's are dynoing at more of a 200-205 whp stock. Just FYI.
your right that's my bad...for a second there I forgot the motor made 190 hp. For some reason I thought it was making 170. Thankx for the correction.
I saw an Elise driving one night (yellow with black strips and wheels) and he made a turn, literally NO body roll what so ever... So I tried to keep up with him around the turn... hahaha What a joke... Sweet car tho
do they trap that high? I know spider has one. I bought an exhaust off him and he had an elise with the s2k as his daily. He was talking about supercharging the motor. I dunno if he meant trd or aftermarket.
yes. i've seen 106-108 on forums. mag times i dont recall. yes this was stock.
