    It amazes me how you can say a car as quick as the lotus in a straight line is quote "underpowered." Ok, if it realy is "underpowered" I've got one company name for you: Forcefed.

    You can buy their new turbo/suspension/brake/etc package that will hit 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and run the 1/4 in 10.89 @ 121mph. Oh and it pulls something like 1.06G's on the skidpad.

    Hey man, if you really were born into money it shouldn't be a problem ;) I got to sit in an Elise two years ago at barret jackson and I was only like 5' 11" back then and had a hard time getting into it. The seat position felt really awkward because your basically sitting on the floorboard. I think it'd take some getting used to but I think I could handle that little learning curve in order to own a car like that.

    Edit:
    It hits 60mph in 3.1 seconds, for some reason I was thinking 3.5 Z06 whaa?

          I was talking to some guy at the auto-x this weekend in an Elise. He loves it, and he drives it to and from work every day. "If you like driving it..."

              Or they are all in minivans. In Orem it seems like all of the MILFs are rolling in their black tahoes, denalis and escalades with dubs and spinners. Nothing like killing a trend quickly.
