Interesting - because the Elise is openly touted as a track day car. The only reason I can think of for a computer to track such things as speed runs, RPM hits, and launches is in case the mechanicals break under stress.

Same with the Corvette Skip mentions, although XX in reverse is more "Rockford Files" material, than track duty.

I don't know - this revelation (a revelation to me, at least) makes me second guess new cars and my love for track driving.
