i would use a c5 or c6 if i had them and the $$
Oh you think outside the boxietroxie.
you know i was going to buy an elise … but for what they were marking them up it wasn’t worth it IMHO
this will be newman when he gets an elise
Lets see if the sti wing can support a tree trunk.!!
yea, but with newman, it wont be a tree, its gonna be a jetski held on with chains
I can agree with that statement. I’d rather wait for the marked up Exige myself 
yeah because let’s face it the elise is underpowered for what it is
It’s also sub-2000 lbs. A very important factor to consider. I mean shit, the car does 60 in about 4.7 sceonds, 1/4 in the low 13’s, it’s got killer brakes, and is prob. the best handling production car you can buy. For 40 grand, I think it’s a hell of a deal. $.02. Agree to disagree.
Nope, those are the stock tires… Yokohama Advan A048.
what the hell
I’m not sure if I should scream, cry or laugh…
I think you are missing the two key words:
“marked up”
You should be nodding your head in agreement with spdfreak now 
I wasn’t bitching, I was asking. Thanks for clarifying though. (I only mentioned it because, well, there’s IS a lot of contact area…I don’t normally see that on factory tires, but then again…I don’t see a lot of Loti, either.)
Newman wouldnt use the padding though…
yeah marked up … cheapest i could find it new was 53k and i called across the country
