^^ same problem with the Mk2 MR-2s, fast and menuverable cars, but Easily one of the Toughest cars to push to its limits. a whole lot of them have left the streets and tracks going backwards....

I'd go the next step and get the Exige, but I don't think we get that in North America... I'd also swap in an F20 or K20A into the back, then it would be even quicker...

I don't really like the way it looks too much. Even if a car is fast, I can't bring myself to buy a car that I think is somewhat ugly. It's just my opinion though on the looks. I think it looks too wild for me.

you might as well settle for an s2k because everything i have read leads me to belive you have a snowballs chance in hell of obtaining an elise unless you have lots of coin to throw around to talk some one out of theirs. i read the waiting list is till something like 2006. even if you are super lucky and find one the dealers are gonna be markup raping for sure.

Well I'd take the Elise, but would definitely have to get a daily driver. That car shouldn't be used as a commuter.
