New guy here...
New guy here! My buddy is a member on the site here (Bealeass), and made my MZ3 feel like a corolla. A fast corolla, but a corolla nontheless.
 Color me addicted. I'm thinking this next year may be time to freshen up the fun car roster... the Elise is at the top of the list.... amongst consideration towards a pre-73 BMW 2002 street machine or a Factory Five Cobra.

I take it you'll be @ the show as well? Caught them at Agganis and at Tsongas the previous 2 tours, and the Breeders @ Paradise when they came around last year.

Finally drove it!

I can attest that BMW 2002's are fun, I have one. It really depends on your budget, I'd say if you have more money, go for the Elise. In the end you'll have almost the same fun, but the 2002 will be considerably cheaper.

2k2 has a cheap buy in to get in the chassis, but would have some serious body modification and engine schenanigans.
