I think I'm going to have to agree with BavM. The Elise doesn't have a chance in the world as being accepted as a great DD, so why tip-toe around the subject. Every single one should come with the bigger and grippier tires than the 175 AD07s fronts... A step further, they all ought to have sport suspension or better yet sport pack ought to be standard and adjustables should be sport pack... I mean why not? Again, the s111 not going to sell well to the folks that want a Cobalt type car, it sells to extremists, so make sure everyone has extreme handling.... The car isn't all that much rougher riding in LSS form vs Std but it handles a bunch better and does a lot better in the mags with it...

How the car does in the mags has a lot to do with how the car sells, so it's largely up to the marketing team to get this right to ensure strong sales and a solid reputation---

Epic Fail Marketing team!

Cheers,

Phil

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
