Aschen got it right. My buddy who is a NASA/PCA/SCCA master driving instructor sums it up well...the Elise is basically a sportier Miata. Made for track FUN, not made for turning out the top lap times. It's a car that's about balance, weight and handling. Not about HP, although there are guys with 400+ HP Elises with built engines/supercharge kits. For me it's about fun, not about competition. And the Elise is a lot more fun on the track than my 911SC was in my opinion. YMMV.
