The December issue of Car and Driver does a comparison of different cars at VIR, and unfortunately, the supercharged Elise gets beaten by, among other supposedly lesser track cars, the new Challenger SRT8. What a disappointment! A 4150lb 425hp car beating a 2050lb 220hp car? Since the Challenger weighs twice as much as the Elise, wouldn't that be like a 440hp Elise if it weighed as much as the Challenger?
