This is me, with my sweetie in the 111s at Park Place

Here is another one of just the rear. Conditions for taking photo's were poor, but you can see the car. This is the color, including wheels I think I will get.

they offered last week, but I drove teh yellow one (which is down a few ponies, but still an S2) and I wanted to take it for a spin with my girlfriend since she is still undecided about the car. Unfortunately, our little trip to Park Place corresponded to the beginning of the Seattle winter which means rains of biblical proportions. I didn't even bother to ask if we could take it out. If it clears up this week, I'll try to get over there.

I had a chance to drive the 111s pictured here - before the rains hit. Unfortunately, I was only able to drive it on the street and couldn't explore the limits. However, it was really tossable and FUN to drive. I'm really looking forward to getting one out at the auto-x and seeing how it does. I've been autocrossing a 3rd gen rx7 and a Z06 this year and I'm really hoping that they put this car into Super Stock class! I think it would be a great battle - taking on the mighty Z06. Does anyone have any new info from SCCA about classing the Elise? I sure hope it doesn't end up in ASP!

BTW, this car is also down on power - only ~150HP. It was quick but could definitely use the 190HP and flatter torque curve.

Tell me 'bout it, it's a curse. Knowing myself I'll settle on a color, then see my numbers 2,3,4,5...choice in a meet and end up admiring the other guys car for a while, look at mine, still like mine and yet still wonder what the other would have been like.

what color is this?

 

[Randy Chase]

Looks like Arctic Silver (see colors page) which tends to pick up the surrounded ambient colors more than other colors do.

I'm pretty sure this car is the one we had at the WCLM in Portland in early Sept. It supposed to be head down to Boardwalk to be shown at the SFO auto show.

Anyway, after the Portland event I did a little write up on driving a 111S on Portland Int'l Raceway. Check out the GGLC site in "Hotnews". I've Chris' first drive impressions there too!

P.S. Chris, trying to get to Atlanta on the 4th. Still tentative. Will let you know.

Kiyoshi,

Thanks for the pointer.

Is there any more difinitive information about weight? The salesman that I was talking with said that the weight was around 1750 and that seems a little optimistic to me. Of course, I would love it if it really was that light. I'm going to delete the A/C for sure. I'm not sure if I'll delete the radio yet...
