Hi All
Recently sold my Lotus Elise Sport 160 and fulfilled a lifelong dream by buying an 88 911 Carrera Sport Coupe.
I feel really privileged to have owned and enjoyed the Elise, but am delighted with my 911. I feel I could keep the 911 for ever, but never really felt that about the Elise.
The Elise is a fantastic drivers car - so absolutely alive in its feel and responses, and probably faster than the 911 despite giving away 70hp or so. It was an absolute rush to drive, but conversely one of those cars you just drive for that 'hit'.
It's funny but I actually feel more confident pushing the 911 than the Elise - the Elise always felt a little bit nervous to me.
BTW it was an S1 Elise, not the pig ugly S2 referred to above! All IMHO of course!
