Looks like the vette held it's own against the lotus race car. Not bad

holy **** i thought that Lotus was going to pass him on the straight and after they went into the turn and saw the vette ahead that was awesome. i never would have guessed that the vette would have a chance, but i think that was pretty damn good.

That euro-spec C5 had the go-kart driver so shook half-way through. The Lotus guy stopped smiling, and even looked down in the passenger seat!!

Those C5's are one bad ****. Especially on European tracks.

Did I mention euros are: -->

Ya that is about the worst track to show the benifits of a elise. Dont the street ones come with 200 hp? I know that was a race one adn prolyl weighed half what teh vette did but 2x the hp makes up for it. GL
