Drove an Elise today
..nice car..... goes like hell when your on the cam....off the cam slower than my Mini..... that being said...what a nice car.....it is the go-kart we all talk about..... this was a new black 06 with sport and tourer pkg at around $50k...I found it comfortable and easy to drive....the salesman complimented my heel toe shifting and then commented that most "heel toe shifters" that try them out put his head into the windshield..... I said.."I am not heel toe shifting...I just have fast feet"
Would I buy one......in a word....yes.....I don't think I would sell the Mini....My son will graduate from college in 1 1/2 years....I'll see where I'm at then.
btw...they actually had an Enzo at $1.4 million and a McClarren at $1.6million....in stock..... unbelievable.... the Enzo is not to be believed to look at in person....I can't imagine driving it.....

I pitched you guys to the dealer here in Atlanta and told the salesman about your turbo... you might give them a call they are selling several every month and they are the largest in NA......
The car is a go-kart.....with the turbo...I can only imagine......awesome ... no doubt...... a fun street car..... can't think of something I would like more for a play car.

then if I were you I would start reading what I could here http://www.elisetalk.com/forums/
If your serious, rather than buying a "new" one, you might want to look at a one year old one as prices for 2005 models have dropped like a rock. Easy to find one in mid to high 30s. Reason? First time buyers buy them and then quickly find out they are useless for daily driving but a ball on the track. Definitely keep the MINI!
Many, many places for tuning besides Webb. Check out http://www.lotusofgreenwich.com/parts.php you can get a gullwing top!

Is this at the Bimmer Store on Roswell? I go there and drool from time to time but haven't been in a few weeks. I've seen quite a few Enzo's in person, but never a McLaren (I've seen many SLR's but not a REAL McLaren)... if it's there, I must visit. :drooool:
