It's got a shitty Toyota motor in it and it's just as fast(maybe a bit faster) than a S2000. All that for 60k plus taxes, ouch!
Elise 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) 5.2 seconds
0-100 mph (0-160 km/h) 13.2
Exige 0-60 4.7 0-100 12.9
That's a LOT faster than the S isn't it?
Btw, I think I saw the Exige.. They look kinda similar though.

And I think you're right about it being a lot faster. Acceleration is one thing, but you cant beat the 900 pound advantage of the Lotus when it comes to braking and cornering speed.
However, since the "S" is technically my primary car, I couldn't give up the practicality of the Honda for the extra quickness of the Lotus.

Saw a yellow one on the 401 yesterday.
Doesn't look as bad in person as I thought it would.
F'n small though...

Ron: I agree - and damn getting in and out of that thing is a feat. Gotta perfect the "dive and roll" if i wanna get out of this car any quicker.
