Keep in mind a stock Elise runs 13s, so its quite a bit faster than stock. The lotus, in no way, shape, or form, was ever believed, thought or otherwise considered to be a super star in the drag arena. Why it was even brought into this conversation is beyond me.

not the greatest pic, but it does say 1/4-mile tech right below the lotus headline. BTW this mag does not focus on drag racing according to john 
oh BTW, Thats my name on the subscription, know thy enemy.

i personally couldn't give a shit about handling. if i did i wouldn't have a harley or a land yacht. it's not that hard to make a muscle car handle, but for the amount of power most people want to put into them to drag/street race it's just not practical.
i dunno about the rest of you but i'm too ADD to deal with most sports or racing. if you can't pull ahead in a 1/4 mile then you've lost as far as i'm concerned. i like a race that's over in less than 30 seconds. that's pure adrenaline rush entertainment right there.
and no matter what you try to argue imports suck
when you've broken 6 feet and/or 200lbs they're just not big enough
