So a friend of mine picked up 1 of these on friday
And I got to ride in it today after returning from Florida early early this morning.
Wow, this car is sweet - track car straight out of the box.
Went for a spin in it and this car corners on rails.
Love the interior - totally utilitarian not one bell or whistle.
Love the braking, the exhaust note, everything.
You'll definitely feel every nook and cranny on the road, but it's not too harsh.
Getting out of the car is definitely a challenge, even for a 5' 7" skinny guy like myself.
Yes it's yellow and the owner already got hassled by the cops twice (one pull over, and another one following him for quite a distance -- and no, he wasn't driving like a jackass / ricer)

Just plain sexy!!!
I could imagine that for someone around 6 feet tall it would be quite difficult getting in and out of because you are almost sitting on the ground!
Nice pics!

I saw one this Saturday on Lakeshore, but it was orange. Some guy with long, black hair in a ponytail.. It was pretty loud, is that a stock exhaust?
I was told (by the owner) there are 4 sold so far: 2 yellows, 1 orange and 1 lime green.
I'm sure there will be a fleet of these on the road in no time.

^lol.
I don't know what the big deal is about the car. It's got a shitty Toyota motor in it and it's just as fast(maybe a bit faster) than a S2000. All that for 60k plus taxes, ouch!

those pics are horrible
btw, do you wanna do a photoshoot on this car?
ITR racer: Even though I've only had a very short amount of time as a passenger in the car, the Elise felt a lot more planted and less body roll than an S on turns at 60 and 80 km/h.
Even though it maybe 70 hp less than the S it's also 900 lbs. lighter as well. So it'll be interesting to see both of these on the track w/ lots of twisties to see how they fair.
As for the price tag, same can be said for a $50k S.
