I’d go Elise over C6 Vette for sure. It’s a PURE drivers car. Little motor swap plus turbo action and it will be an absolutel beast and faster than the Z06 in a straight, and no car can hold a candle to it in the turns. ---

I don’t even think there is a comparison. Get a Z06! The Elise is nice but in a different class. Its not like the Z06 handles like shit either. ---
