Hey Mamo...at the last autocross there was a longish straight (for an autocross start) before the first turn. So I had my son log achieved top speeds in that section (consumer radar gun). For awhile the highest top speed was 55 MPH from a modified STI on DOT-Rs. Then a 1700 pound TVR with a souped up small block ford V8 and real slicks pulled a 56 MPH top speed. Elise on street tires? 56 MPH...and one run hit 57.6 MPH. I wonder what a Viper could have done... The surface was pretty slidey and cool, about 3500 was a decent launch RPM for the Elise. The thing is...the TVR prolly "felt" the strongest. The Elise just whooshes and does it with RPMs.
