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....

i disagree. under that school of thought, it doesn't matter that Car A currently runs 14.6's and gets tooled consistently by Car B that runs 13.3's, what matters is that Car A has potential to run streetable 10's, whereas Car B doesn't have much potential to get past high 11's.........all the potential in the world isn't going to help Car A beat Car B today

IMO, it isn't how far you CAN go, it is how far you HAVE gone and where you are today
