What Mercedes Dealer was this?

Ok - that was fun - got to drive it around a small course http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1145730884.jpg

Really liked it although it could have used a litle more power - the horn is too close to the rim - the wheel is a little small - easy to get crossed up.

Nice brakes - pretty easy to modulate. Steering is quick not over boosted.

The driving position is a little weird - feet pointed to the center of the car. Not too bad room wise = definitely enough room for a helmet. I would think it could make a fun track car. Lunch catered by Hooters - what's not to like.

If I bought one I'd stick on better rubber - They had advans - I'd repace the wheel - and I'd probably try and find a way to add a little more HP - It was cool - they let us wind it out a little - I got the back end out a few times.

Neat little car, much easier to drive fast than the 911.

The Elise looks like a great car, I would love to own one.

Interesting dynamic on their board... seems to be a few guys in their mid twenties worried about appearing to be having a mid life crisis.
