This Elise is harder to get in an out of than an Europa, the shift throws are longer than I would have thought and the pedals need to be closer. I know there is an aftermaeket fix for that. But I did like the car alot. It seems that a new air intake and new exhaust should shave a ten off the 0 to 60 time but I think time is lost because the shift throws are so long. Is there an upgrade for that?
Actually, new exhaust and air intake will likely not shave anything off the 0 to 60 time. Search, many discussions on how to make it quicker with such mods. Not much to do, really, without going forced induction.
