Performance-wise it's quite similar to my base boxster. Couldn't really test out its cornering abilities since it had these POS Nexus tires on that caused the car to understeer quite badly in a turn.
After spending a day sitting in an Elise, I am now a fully trained contortionist.  |
Hey guys - Been a long time. I just happened past this thread and had to post.
Ekam - Welcome to the dark side. I'm amazed at what a tool for pure driving enjoyment my Elise is every time I drive it. It's not a car for long distance touring or carrying much of anything. It's sole purpose is to give the driver as much mechanical information as possible, all the time.
A healthy na Elise is quite a bit faster in a straight line than a 986, even faster than a 986s, but all the power is above 6200 rpm so you have to be mean to it to really get everything out of it.
