Just drove a Titanium Elise in Boston. Color is great but honestly the Elise looks great in any color. Very impressed with looks and build.

I was able to induce a little understeer on an on-ramp in this non-sport demo. A little more rubber up front and R compounds should do the trick. Really impressed with the high end umph. No slouch on the first cam either. The car does not need to be driven hard to go fast. Felt solid at high speed, more so than the 111S I drove in the past. The 111 felt twitchy in the steering and in response to uneven road surfaces. The Fed is much more mannered while not giving up any of the visceral experience. BTW, you are into triple digit speeds on the second cam in 4th and it comes quick. Exhaust is great, sl throaty, definitely not ricey at all.

BTW, my car is in port and I've got the VIN #. I'll be getting a Saffron Sport. Can't wait.
