Nah! That ancient rear-engined design wouldn't have nearly the handling prowess that the Elise has.MarvinVA said:What are some other cars that you have\would consider aside from the Elise. Some points, to me, a realistic comparison means that it must be in the same price range as the Elise (ie 40-50k) These can be higher performance used cars, and sports cars.
I'll start it off:
97-99 911 Carrera or Carrera Cabriolet
At 3400 lbs for the cabrio, it's almost twice as heavy as an Elise. No thanks!atyclb said:2002 BMW M3

Yeah, and that means constant "Is it real?" questions and getting hosed on resale. I WILL NOT BY A KIT CAR... EVER!jml1952 said:Porsche 1955 Spyder replica. For $25,000 (turnkey version) you can get a lighter, faster car than the Elise. And it handles well. But it's still a kit car.
