Terry, pic up an issue of the newest Grassroots Motorsports (It has a GTO on the cover) and read up. They have a really nice article on the Elise/Exige in there. Also has some good information to consider if you're looking to buy one.

Yeah, power was pretty disappointing. I figured it being like 1900lbs or something it'd still move as far as acceleration goes. Getting in and out of it was n't that bad. It was hard, but I could do it on the daily.

I hear ya...I will think about it for a week. Obviously the miata is a better decision financialy. But I can easily afford the car if I sell the soarer...and I dont drink, smoke or have any crazy fetishes...so I am fairly young and single with no kids or major resposibilities you only live once

yeah but you have a turboed car..this is NA. I mean I could destroy that thing in the soarer. But for what it is I think its pretty fast. It felt like a low 13 sec car and thats what is advertised as....btw your car is purty quick man
