[QUOTE=porsche986spyder] My point was that for the price you pay for the Regular Lotus Elis it is still underpowered. All those other exotic sports cars out there and Lotus could not put an engine in the car that could break the 250hp mark? To expensive of a car to pay for and only get 190hp. All show and no go.

As mentioned earlier, it is power to weight that makes a good sports car. A 190 hp lotus Elise is as fast if not faster than a new 295 hp boxster S from 0-60 and it handles better. The car will blow your boxster into the weeds without even breaking a sweat. Granted, the boxster S is faster in the 100mph plus realm, but in real track duty that makes little difference.
