red930 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I'll bet it does! I hear corvettes can be very tail happy. I had a first generation Toyota MR2. That thing would swap ends faster than lightning if you lifted in a turn. My bomber 911 did the exact same thing so I was used to it. Both were sold to guys that couldn't handle them and were totaled within a couple of months. I used to buy cars that were on their last leg then flog the crap out of them until they just couldn't go anymore. Saved a lot of money on insurance and repairs.

kitfit1 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Wow. You ever take that elise to the track? Do let me know when you decide to get rid of that, and I'll gladly take it off you're hands Yes i have taken it to Brands Hatch public days a few times, but it does get a bit crowded so peeps in Porches and and souped up road cars slow me down . Sell it? i don't think so, the best car i've ever owned. Apart from that, shipping costs to the USA might put you off :eek2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah, They definatly require more skill to drive than you're average FR car. I learned to drive this thing to it's limits on the track, and I am more comfortable driving it than any car out there. When you start to skid, you've just gotta plant you're foot down. I suppose the same can be said for all MR cars. I love how this thing sticks to the road, and carves through the corners. I am sure you noticed how light and nimble the mk1 felt, and on those 20 mph corners it wo'nt break a sweat. Same for the mk2, with the exception that it is heavier, and sort of just glides, and carves it's way along the roadway.

Nightshadow Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Wow. Definatly a nice car then.. How do you like that 2zz? I have seen people put those in mr2 spyders, and the performance becomes on par with an elise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our's sounds much louder than your's and our emission laws are different than your's as well. One thing is for shure, you can stick it in an MR2 for performance but it won't handle anything like an Elise. In other words tight bends don't need brakes or lifting off the gas.

As the lotus factory is literally up the road from me, a work associate is sporting a brand new elise with a custom K20a engine seriously fast and Im seriously jealous, as my next car is looking to be an audi estate. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
