I hear ya, it doesnt make sense. Taking the driver into consideration, from what Ive read the Elise is a difficult car to drive very fast, and when I see it lose to a car that I dont think it normally would I assume the driver doesnt know the car. In fairness of these tests the driver doesnt know the other car either. But if there was a test where the driver is someone who knows the car well, I would like to see how it measures up against some of these other cars like you were saying. Like the lucky few who have gone for a ride around the Lotus test track with some of their in house drivers who say it is scary how fast they go. To put it in perspective, that 997 only beat it by .18 seconds, but still. I know what you are saying because a big reason I got this car was it wasnt all bark and no bite, and was faster around a track than a car twice the price, but a few of these reviews lately are stating otherwise. Let Tiff drive!
