      What's not to love about an Elise and a Raptor?  The Elise looks fun.  I'd recommend reading an excerpt from Doug Demuro's book Plays With Cars about his adventure driving his Elise across country immediately after purchasing it.  I'm sure there are quite a few things you can relate to after your journey.

                My bad, didn't look close enough.

                But can confirm would still drive the raptor. Nothing against the lotus, as they are crap tons of fun.

                I have just always wanted a raptor, for reasons

                  That's basically why I wanted one too!

                      I'd like to but sadly, my desire to track this car will most likely have the same result as my desire to track my R1.  I'll never get to do it.  Maybe in 10 years when the kids are out of the house.

                            Wonder how that would compare against a ti swap car on the track.

                              Good question. It all depends on what they used for a rear sub frame on the mini. I know an S50b32 compact is definitely a force to be reckoned with haha

                                Intradusting. I bet the mini wins with having a smaller wheel base and being a touch lighter than a compact.

                                Mini:  

                                Wheel base: 2,470 mm (97.1 in)  

                                Weight  1,150 kg (2,535 lb) (Cooper)
                                1,210 kg (2,668 lb) (Cooper S)

                                Compact:

                                Wheel base 2,700 mm (106.3 in)

                                Weight  1,175 kg (2,590 lb)−1,290 kg (2,840 lb)

                                    Visiting family in Wausau this weekend, made a Menard's run and apparently didn't get the Volvo in gear properly when I parked and it rolled into a Saturn. Awesome, the only downside of a manual transmission... it broke the glass headlight lens and scuffed the bumper cover on mine and scuffed the plastic door on the Vue. I barely had 5 minutes in the store by the time an officer came and did a report. Question for people that have had a situation like this. I have a 500$ deductible, so if the damage is assessed at 2k, do I just get 1500$ and can fix it myself? I do not have a loan.

                                        It works fine, just my bad habit of not using it from not having a working one on other cars. The maxima one worked but you had to bang on the lever on the caliper to get it to release so it was truly only for emergency use. I will remember to use it now...

                                          You are able to take the cash and fix the car yourself. That's exactly what I did when I was rear-ended a few years ago.
