I remember racing an Elan in the Corsa up the A414 one sunny afternoon, i was not impressed at all, i couldnt get near it really, but i wasnt falling behind much at all up to 100 
Verdict: Slow for a Lotus
Was it the not turbo then?
the way it was smoking on change-up, i suspect it was:
A) Turbo
B) Fucked
Smoke would suggest that.
Im sure the N/A was around the stats posted about and the turbo was much quicker.

You do realize that the S2 Exige is just effectively just an Elise 111R coupe don't you?
How can one be 'awesome' and the other be a hairdresser's car??
STFU the Elise is a hairdressers car.
They are, IMO (an opinion shared by many, many owners and the motoring press) one of the most perfect driving experiences available and totally untouchable for the price.
Have you ever even been in one? An Elise or an Exige??
