AND it's Toyota powered.

Been too focused on the zoom-zoom side of the business lately.

Richard, never knew you were such a big Elise fan? It's nice to see a Mustang guy like more then just a Mustang. Personally I'd take an Elise over a 03 Cobra right now, hands down.

Some of my friends overseas have the Lotus Espirit cars one drives an Elise at a few events. More of a mid-range Ferrari fan but there are a few standouts like the Lotus Elise that really catch the eye when they are totally designed for quick turns. There is something to be said for being different on the road.

Congratulations on buying a fast car out of the box. You're not special, so get off your high horse.

I'd take an Elise over an EVO or STi anyday

You doubt it? Hmm...well i still dont. Im pretty sure you'd get your ass handed to you on a road course with an Elise. If you are ignorant enough to not see how that would happen then im sorry for you. Hell, i know of a certain SE-R that i'd put money on to beat you around VIR. Horsepower means less and less on a road course. Your car is fast, but dont roll your eyes at me missy.
