Bottom line is the Elise is a bad ***** ride...
But i think we're all missing a major point here
Nobody gives a Rats ***** about stock....
What really matters in a car is its Potential...
its HP potential....and if you match these cars together....
The Cobra can be built up to be way faster than the elise....
It would be eaiser and not cost as much for the Cobra to do...but the elise has to work twice as hard to get to the same....
It's not where you start out at...but its how far you can go....
and im' talking streetable not ridicuouls stuff like a cobra or elise shell with a 4.5 sec drag engine in it....
