So my best friend and his brother work for Park Place LTD. Every time I go visit I am reminded of all the cool cars I will likely never own. However, there is one that due to my autocross addiction I may end up owning......just may be 20 years from now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Drove an elise years ago and was unimpressed. No torque and a very narrow power band. You had to be spot on with redline shifts to keep it going. Shift to early and its like all the power has been japped from the car.
It they came with paddle shift they would be fantastic cars. Or made power 1000 rpms earlier to give you breathing room. Me I'm saving to get a dtype or xj13 replica. |
