Here are a couple pictures I took yesterday of my S2000 and my friend's Honda-powered Elise.

 

What is that on the right side

 

It's a Lotus Elise

 

Very cool.

It's amazing how small the Elise is. That thing must be an absolute blast to drive.

 

Hmmm...being a Spa owner myself and always looking at the shades of "yellow" offered by various manufacturers, I'm not sure which one I like more. The Elise is more on the orange side, it's hue reminiscent of the yellow offered by GM on some of their compact cars like the Sunfire GT.

how much do the elise's cost? Don't they have to be imported and set to US spec DOT standards?

 

I was pretty suprised, too, at how orange the Elise looked once we parked next to each other. My boss' yellow Boxster S looks really orange next to it, too. Personally, I like the Spa Yellow better, especially when it's clean and in bright sunlight because it just glows.

 

Please, don't post pics like that. It makes our cars like kind of weak!

 

so ... who won?

 

Honda powered Elise? Is it the B18C5?
