I sat in a track prepared Elise convertible at Scottsdale Lotus about 2 years ago (when my Boxster was brand new). I didn't drive it.
My first car love was my best friends Lotus Europa, so I expect a lot of cornering performance.190HP is a lot for this car, so I expect good scoot up to 100 MPH or so, but I'm not really tempted for 2 reasons.
#1 - The Boxster is already a better car than I am a driver
#2 - East coast potholes would absolutely destroy this car, so it would have to be 100% track.
The Boxster is a trackable street car - The Elise is a (barely) streetable track car.
If you want a 20 day a year driver, it's cheaper than most Ferraris. If you want a daily driver, the Elise will probably be trashed in a couple of years.
