Bought a lotus elise to get quicker couldnt leave a jag tonight why went from the lights 50 metres sat at the side playing then round the roundabout thought nail it in second as we leave did do and there he stayed right at my side down the dual carrage way about 5 or 10m feet behind for about 3 quarters of a mile til we both laid off i came home embarrassed didnt know a old 2 ton jag could do that

4.0 v8 Jags are 280bhp my friend

And if you were extra unlucky it could have been the 4.2 supercharged, direct out of the factory @ 400bhp

 

You didnt say what "type" it was, so i am assuming its an S Type

[Pot]

Sorry, what?

[Scott]

Who told you an Elise was fast? They are nippy quick but not straight line power quick.

[nevins]

they are light and handle well thats about it.

[Guest theendisgone]

all i can say is i have done the induction exaust high pressure fuel it pinns me back and this big old jag kept right there so i then laid off because its not a top end car it really did kick my ass or would of done i pressed the brakes whilst i was in front to save face i was shocked think it was around 2000 year

You wouldn't get that long a sentence for murder.

[Scott]

Although you may get murdered for that long a sentence.

 

What elise is it you have? They are nothing compared to a fast jag.

[ilicos]

I can't understand a thing you are saying!

Very good.

[dr_jekyll]

if it was an R. (supercharged v8) it would murder an elise in a straight line , those things are extreamely fast in a straight line

[a98pmalcolm]

The elise's arnt that fast bud! Im sure if you and the jag were on a track you would give it a challenge as the elise's are designed for the handling!

 

My previous car was a Corrado G60 and my mate had a V8 supercharged Jag (maybe the XJR, but im not clued up on jags), I spent £10k on that lil 8v engine £3k just on the screw compressor charger! It was about 300BHP with a shit load if torqe, and i was only just pulling away from him!

 

Although im sure my supra would dominate one hehe............maybee lol

[miko_supra]

Cant understand any of that. 10m feet is a new one to me also

[dr_jekyll]

i have seen an xkr waltz away from a 911. allthogh i have no idea of what variant of 911 it was.

[Snooze]

911s cover a big range.

 

My mate has a 993 Carrera 4. That (only!?) runs ~270hp, and that's through 4wd too. The XKR runs about 370hp, I think?

You foolish fool. Should've bought a supra.

[The Raven]

Ive been in a lotus, well kind of sqashed myself into one, They are not quick i cant comment on the handling of the thing as all i wanted to do was get out to stop the cramp.

 

If you brought one for power you have missed the whole point of them.

 

FAIL

[JamieP]

Ive only been in one Elise, dead slow, i thought it was crap tbh.

 

Evo 4 is a quick road car for the money, try pick up and RS for about 4 grand.

Jamie, do you have a vid of you getting in and out?

 

That would be gold.

[JamieP]

Can only be done with the roof off:)

Maybe that's a good reason for his username to be changed to 'theendofthesentenceisgone', etc!

I really think you should buy a new keyboard as yours appears to be broken.

[SupraD06]

I think ive lost the ability to read

Full stops, comma's, and correct spelling work wonders.

I'm apologising beforehand as I am going to plagiarise that and use that in another thread.

[foggy147]

I'm pretty sure with speech like that you don't own an elise, more likely a saxo which is why you couldnt leave him.
