12 quarter mile, 0-60 in 3 seconds, is this the best street supercar?

me wants one of these :D

 

Holy crap, that's awesome!

 

i just read about that in this months issue of SCC, i was drooling the entire time

 

mmmm.....me wanty

 

This Tiburon will dust that Elise

I've seen that car b4 and it's fast but not capable of turning. Sure, in a straight line it's fast but remember that the elise scores well over 1 g in the skid pad.

 

Wow, that stage one kit would be so awesome to drive. What is the weight of that car? Something like 1900 pounds? Ridiculous. :D

 

HOLY CRAP......Stage 2 ~400HP in a 1900lb car?

That's awesome.

 

Lingenfelter Corvette Twin Turbo 0-60 1.97 sec. (street legal)

That is fast!

The times I posted were of the stage 1 kit.

400hp in a 1900lb car will achieve those times you posted and handle wayyy better.

 

That is rediculous. It wouldnt be MPG (Miles Per Gallon) anymore it would be GPM (Gallons Per Mile).

I think the Lingenfelter Vette was tested at 950HP. But seriously go ahead and spend outrageous $ on a Vette just to be beaten to death by Gas prices.

 

About a week ago I saw my first Lotus Elise in real life. Truly an amazing car.

But that person can keep their Elise My friends G-Pa has a Lotus Superseven. It is in perfect condition too. He has had it stored in his garage ever since he first bought it. We are supposed to be bringing it out this summer and fixing it up completely and possibly looking for someone to make us a turbo kit to place on it.

Anyone around Tyler, Tx better watch out if they see one Also look out for a Black 300ZX TT.

 

Anybody know just how wide of tires you can fit on an Elise, 400hp is a lot to put to the ground in such a light car. I thought the US Elise was around 2100lbs. due to safety compliance.

 

good ?, I would assume no bigger than 275.

 

they are sweet cars, hp to weight is always going to be a factor Sure would hate to drive one as a daily driver though, pretty crude as far as interior goes, definitely more of a track car compared to the 8 etc..

 

That thing must be SO FUN to drive around a track, very cool! But...yes as a daily driver it probably would be a pain, but then again in 3sec you would forget your complaints!

 

If I could have any car as my second, I seriously think the Elise would be it. It is everything a sports car should be.

I was just thinking....the engine in the Elise is virtually the same as the one in the Celica. It's pretty cool to see that the VVTL-i can be modded to such an extreme.

 

The Ariel Atom can best those numbers:

Atom:
weight: 1005 lbs
hp: 300
#/hp: 3.35 (less is better)

Turbo Elise:
weight: 1900 lbs
hp: 400
#/hp: 4.75

Enzo:
weight: 3020 lbs
hp: 660
#/hp: 4.58

0-60 numbers for the Atom are in the neighborhood of 2.8 seconds!

 

your comparing it to an open wheel car and a car worth a million dollars. I bet that the elise with 400hp stage 2 can be had for less than $100,000 easy.

 

I kinda wish Lotus had developed their own 190hp engine for the base car. I don't know that I'd blow $42,000 on a car with a 190hp Toyota engine. It does something to the pedigree, in my mind, no matter what the performance numbers are. I'd rather have a British sportscar, through and through, even if it broke down a little more.

 

but that little toyota engine means that thing will run for a very long time. you can also take out the stock engine, grad a corolla engine from a junkyard and build it up for boost and have a ball. when its time to sell the car, just take out your built engine and put in the stock one again

 

Cool car but it would be so much better with a Renesis.




Sorry, had to post it before someone else did like someone does in every Elise thread :p

 

The K20a is the best motor for that car in my opinon. Also, I'm pretty sure that engine is a Yamaha engine, not designed by toyota, just altered a bit. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me :p

 

Well the Renesis makes more power than the GT-S engine, but there are better options than the renesis. If I wanted FI I'd go for one of the VW 1.8 blocks, otherwise I'm sticking with the Honda power. Love my car and it's engine, but in reality it's not the best for every car. Awesome yes, just not for everyone.

Edit: to go along with the FI I might consider the 2JZ as well, but I'm not too sure it would fit.

 

241hp!?!?! DAMN that car is light!

2JZ, forget about size... the weight would be the reason to avoid it
