The Lotus beat it in ever aspect except drifting and the lotus was a cheaper buy. Did you guys see the video at neon.org of that neon beating a dodge viper? or how about that 88 dodge van that beat the 98 z28?

I too read that issue of "Sport Compact Car" or the other Import mag and you have to consider the source. It's an Import car magazine so the Lotus Elise had to win. We both know who really won those tests. The Mustang Cobra R! I don't have the issue in front of me, but the Lotus Elise was modified with a built Honda B18 motor. The Elise weights around 1500lbs. The chances of any of us running into one on American soil is slim to none. Don't worry about the Lotus Elise.
