Most Elise's which are unservo'd apparently need a firmer foot than most to brake, but I found the 160 I was racing against the most very impressive indeed. Brake temp is important in Elise's though, I think. Mine don't work too well until I've put a good heat cycle on them.
bit dusty though...

get some Pagid pads and braided lines. It'll stop you dead the first time you touch them!

What more dusty than the standard Brembo's?!
Wash the car - looks lovely.
Drive it for maybe 10 minutes - wheels look like shit...
I suppose that's the price you pay for being able to stop on a 2p without having to heat-cycle the brakes.

111s just raced an Enzo on Vroom vroom. Didn`t do too bad considering.
it was feckin embarrasing (as it should be)
the Enzo went from 70-140 (the comparison test) in under ten seconds
the Lotus didn't errrrr get to 140
quite what the point was, I don't know
when they got to an interview with Colin 'successful personality bypass' Macrae
I switched channels
