Also, I've seen Lotus' performance numbers on the SC, but I was wondering if any of you had any links to actual instrumented test results. Thanks for you help.
Have you seen this thread:
First Drive: 2008 Lotus Elise Supercharged

Also, take a look at the Lotus Articles and Review section on this forum. These may be of interest:

Fifth Gear Lotus Elise SC Review
Factory Supercharged Elise Review

On a side note, while looking at Audis (dealers also carry Porsche), I've notice lots of Cayman S in the high $60s to $70K range. Not worth that much money IMO and that would put you in an Exige S 240.

Lastly, I'm just throwing this out there but a few dealers are offering $10K off on an 2007 Exige S (220hp) which would make it less than some new Elise SC (usually $60K).
