I actually just jumped out of my 02 C4S into a 05 Elise S2 111S (US never got this I believe due to emissions, and old engine supplier went broke, the 111R which is the current model runs the 1.8 Toyota unit and has been made US friendly with Airbags, ABS, Servoed brakes)

Bottom line, you would never get an Elise to 60 in under 4 secs, more like just under 5, but thats not what the car is about, as the video demonstrates its about braking and corners, the grip is UNBELIEVABLE. To the point where my girlfriend will not get in the car anymore as she says it feels like a rollercoaster
