We\'ve got one and it\'s a rapid little motor but it wouldn\'t keep up with our rex unless we were winding around some country roads!!

I will keep up on first gear but that\'s about it, but will beat anything around bends and corners as Lotus makes the best chassis for road handling:burnout

Thats the one! took off like a rocket! sounded like a F1 car, fantastic in fact,
Well i don\'t feel so bad now, but i am starting at the bottom and thrashed an old Fiesta and a viva today, i\'ll work my way up from there! also will try this Red-line thingy, see if that helps, think i\'m getting too old for all this excitement,

I went to a race meet the other night an there was an elise 111R cleaning up, I had one play with a 200sx, then asked the elise driver if he wanted a run an he said no lol, mines not massively modded either.

Funy, thats what I thought lmao:3gears-rh

[D1 WTF]

i blew away an elise a month or so back.  pulled onto the A41 at about 60 mph (dual carriage way near hemel) and he followed me then made a dart up to my arse to over take.  my car was a little cold so i didnt really want to do it but i kind of had to, lol.  quickly pulled in front of him before he had time to get passed and preceeded to say good bye.  when i hit 145mph he was quite a way back and he pulled back in to cruise on the inside lane......................................funny that.  he didnt try again.  i think there is a fair few pretty boys out the driving them, that need to be put into there place ocasionally.  

i have driven one and i do love them, in fact i will post a pic of my bros later (ex-elise anyway RIP).  he kind of managed to slit it into two around a tree.  Knob, i know.

These things are not really designed for straight line speed, so blowing away one on a dual carriageway, especially if you are already at 60mph, is not a big deal.  If it was a base model 125bhp job I could have given him a run for his money in my diesel!!   They only have a top speed of 125mph, and although the acceleration is impressive, after 80mph there isnt much left.  It would be more impressive if you said you got away from him around some twisties, or on a track though!!  

I didnt ever used to play with people on dual carriageways in mine, unless it was around MK threw the roudabouts.  Mine was just the 125bhp one, but I\'d loose Boxter S\'s, M3\'s, 911\'s etc over them roundabouts.  I wouldnt be able to keep up with me in an Elise on the cornering.

I\'m thinking about getting a S1 to replace my diesel.  Use it for work but track days as well.  I\'ll look forward to showing you \'doubters\' what it can do on a track day  :p

One thing for sure though, they dont look as good as the FD!

fair point, i dont doubt that.  when i did my ARD\'s race licence at silverstone, i had to give the an S2 rock all round the short national circuit and i know they are sweet.  i was even thinking about one until i figured out i could insure a rex.  
my point is if the owner of one thinks/thought that he could have a go on the dual carriage way against a rex he needed putting in his place.  he should known better not to take on a rx 7 he was only young and trying to be cocky.  In a way like me i guess but i knew i could do him on the dual carriage way so i did.  :burnout
but respect to the elise.

[D1 WTF]

i said i would post them.  the impact was as you can see right on the filler cap, so on the bulk head between cockpit and engine.  one of the only places that the impact could have been that wouldnt have really hurt my bro.  there aint too much to the cars.
sorry to scare anyone, if these pics do.  he just spun it and hit a tree, and thats only a little tree as well.  as they say "trees dont move".  
he dosen\'t remember it he was unconcious for about 5 mins we think.  when he came round he tried to move it off the road hmmm...... the gear box was on the ground and the wind screen was cracked. roofed caved in a little.
 do you think he hit his head?
