Hi All

Actually there seems to be little difference between my Elise SC in comparison to an Elise 111R normally aspirated with enhanced cam mapping and an Elise S1. We have just been on weeks Lotus group trip to Stelvio and around lots of Swiss passes. No one had any more power, in fact the older Elise S1 is much lighter and with a tuned K series engine quicker !
So maybe classes defined by weight is the answer ! Cheers Michael
