bringing your car above redline in a higher gear isn't really bad for it. I mean don't rev to 8 or 9 but 7 is fine once in a while.

There is a kid from a nearby *really near by* town that has an Orange Elise of some year,,

its newer, but I have no idea what year, or just exactly how fast it is,, we've given eachother a nod driving down a busy road before,, but no where near anyplace to line up or anything..

i'd be surprised if i was faster than his car though, for such asmall little thing, they look alright in my opinion...

and orange makes it stand out

they are in no way intended for the straight line, so this is probably why it didnt seem fast especially w/ its agressive looks. the suspension is amazing, but thats expected; it is a lotus

with a decent driver behind steering wheel, they are unbeatable by our rides on a circuit or curvy roads...

Those cars are beautiful.
I've been drooling over them for a while.
I figured after the Audi is shot i'll get one of those.

Just go straight, because if there are turns involed, you are history.
