My buddy bought an Elise last year but is forced to sell it now. So I was able to take it for a little spin this afternoon before he ships it to the new buyer.
All I can say is wow! The thing just loved to rev. Acceleration was brisk and the handling was outstanding - it seemed hardwired. The only real downside to the car was that you sit so far down below the high longitudinal that it is a bit rough to get out of it. I wouldn't want to try to do that too often if I were advancing in years. I've read in some posts where a Subie powered 914 (like my current project) is much like driving an Elise. I now need my car finished yesterday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

That's one of the favorite videos on Elisetalk.com My Exige S is pushign 240+ HP with mods... just passed the first warranty inspection and a few tuners are coming out with some ECU maps for the S that, with some easy bolt-ons, should put me into the 260 HP arena... That's going to put zero-to-sixty times in the sub-4 second range... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) There are a lot of current/previous 914 owners on Elisetalk.com Hope you're all well... Pics of the current ride... http://www.my914-6.com/lotus Cheers... Q |
