Regarding the Camaros, thanks. I just pulled the engine on my '69 and have it stripped down to the bare block. I will probably get it to the machine shop next week. I'm looking at a 383 stroker that will make 517 lb/ft of torque (that never falls below 400lb/ft after 3000rrpm) and around 507 horsepower. AFR and Comp Cams have the recipes on their websites, and I found two magazines that have built and tested the combinations. All this with just 9.5:1compression. The 4th gen Camaros are great performers. We had a 97SS 6-speed that we really loved.
Oh and BTW DINK status IS great!

DavidB,
IMHO there is nothing significantly different with the 2007 (besides the $) compared with the 2006 Elise. That is why I bought a 2006. If you are coming to St Louis, give me a shout and we'll go for a drive. I am near downtown. I was at Midrivers Lotus today for the state safety inspection. The service guys seem very strightforward to me.
