When I was a young lad of 19 I had a Corolla GTi, I followed an elise for a bit on the local bypass one night doing about 80-90 came up to a roundabout. I had to slow to about 50 and I swear he didnt even slow down. Just went straight round it. Was fucking mental. I WILL own an exige one day.

off the line they are!

you can easily do 0-60ft in one in well under 2 seconds from what ive seen, not many hatches can do that on normal tyres!
