Interesting. Deserving of its own thread so I for one can marvel.

Mark,
Not much!! Note the black bumpers........................! I have a chum who has an Elise that in top gear accelerates from 90mph to 140mph in 2 1/2 seconds! Basically undrivable as the traction control and electronics have difficulty reining it in! It has a data logger for accuracy and somewhere around 550 bhp at the wheels. Good grief.....

In my defense I have rebuilt a S2 and a S3. I also worked on my Sprint and a friends 7 and Elite as well as holding down a full time job :D
