I second the "let him get out in front..." so the others would have a car to trailer home in 1 piece.

Lotus Elise Info
More like 190 HP
.Lotus has officially announced the engine choice for the Federal Elise: the 1.8 liter 4-cylinder 16-valve Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine with the VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift-Intelligent) system. The Federal Elise's 2ZZ-GE motor is based on the engine used in the Celica GT-S, but has undergone Lotus' own special brand of tweaking and will produce 190 HP and 133-lb/ft. of torque in stock form.
It showcases the Lotus design philosophy of achieving performance and efficiency through light weight. The Elise chassis is extremely strong, yet very svelte (under 1500lbs!), due largely to its extruded and bonded aluminum construction
