wow... that was some driving.

I never realized Numbering was that long of a track.



That elise looked pretty decked out for race gear, stack guage and big wing. the corvette looked pretty stock. Then again that is all i could see so it is hard to say.

Who said anything about liking them. You do have to admit they are fast cars...well at least in this video in the straighaways. If you think about how the vette walked the elise in the straight then consider the elise walking down the vette in the turns it is apparent the vette lacks in the hadling dept. vs. the elise. Anyone can go fast in a straight line.

No luck with the link. Might be the stone tablet I'm trying to type through.



Both cars seem very nice. It would require some debate but, personally, I think I would go with the Corvette.

pretty cool video, shows off the handling of the Elise and the raw horsepower of the Vette



stuff like that really makes me want to turn the FD into a road racer
