I love the Elise as well and would like one. But i do give my SKY a bunch of credit compared to cars in its class.

Didn't mean to make the Post shift focus, I was referring to the fact that I do not consider the GXP or Redline " regular cars"

I haven't drove either the Redline or GXP to compare against my Elise but I have no desire to either...

My new neighbor!!

This guy just moved in a few doors down from me. I park in the garage every night, but now I'll have to be extra careful during those short visits to the parking lot.

I think Rich S is right it looks more like a Bradley GT than a Bricklin. I had a Bradley GT II when I was 17 which looked alot different than the original GT. The GT2 was built on a VW chassis and had Gullwing Doors.
