Lotus Elise vs. Ferrari F40 vs. Porsche GT3

Nice vid..the guy did pretty good against the faster competition.

The Elise is said to be the best handling production street-legal car in the world.
 
good gracious.... I loved it when they'd hit the straights and the Lotus would wave bye-bye....then he'd pass them in the turns....that guy must be an RX-8 owner!
 
omg, that was badASS...I would love to have seen that from outside the cars...the elise REALLY pwned the, in the curves, BIGTIME (wrc)
 
Like-exotic handling and looks, the Lotus name, 0-60 in under 5 seconds, a Toyota drivetrain from the Celica GT-S for reliability.

All for $40,000
 
Yeah but is that the same lotus that's coming to america? I hope the one here kicks as much ass. Are they on sale here yet?

No the one in the video is not the US version. The interior isn't the same. They should be getting here very soon.
 
yeah, that was some sick driving by the guy in the lotus...goes to show you, it's not always just horsepower that makes a good race car, gotta get some hardcore handling aswell.....Those guys in the ferrari and Porsche where prolly amazed to see themselves getting passed by a slower car...lol
 
Lotus seemed to out brake the other cars as well. F-40 has mad straight away power thoe.
 
nice driving...its funny how they pull away on straights and he catches up and passes them on corners
 
I still like the sun elise better, comes with the b18 type r motor. Much better motor than the 1zz in my opinion.
 
another great example of the asshole trying to run the fast cars..honestly..if he wasn't driving like an asshat..it would of been a very different outcome..an F40? a GT2? An elise taking them out..no dice..they just didn't want to **** their nice cars up..I mean thats neat and all, but sorry, i ******* HATE guys like that..they end up flipping, wrecking, or bending someones ******* wheel bearing...alright thats me, but damn i hate hot shots..

I agree the guy was driving like an asshat trying to impress his friend, but the car is pretty badass. The pass on the GT2 but not the ferrari looked like it was almost an accident when he understeered, almost into the ferrari.

I dont see how he was driving like an ass. Didnt seem like he was even pushing it too hard...I only heard the tires squeal like two times (dunno)

I don't know what you two are talking about, this is door to door racing and that's the name of the game, out braking in the turns (yes) Passing cars on straights because you have more power doesn't give you the right to slow them down in the turns
 
name of the game? what are you talking about? that looked like a open track fun run..there are always people doing that..everyone is just driving, a little faster than normal..then there is one guy thinking it is le-mans going door to door half off the apex passing everyone..that was NOT a real race..they do those all the time..just a open sunday track day..i'm sure they weren't pleased with him doing that..dude i'm all about autocrossing and track days..but i hate those guys with a passion..sure, its a great car..but you don't go flying nose into corners when its blatantly clear that no one else is driving like that..whatever..i've had bad experiences with those guys..i've seen so many videos where some guy in a Z06 is screaming throught the track with a bunch of crusing porsches and it's called "Z06 owns GT2's" They are all the same..Stuff like that pisses me off../rant.
