The 2005 elise isnt turbo...from the factory at least They put down like 190-200hp stock but still run like low 14sec 1/4 mile. However the best thing about the cars is how they handle. I dont think there is too many cars under a 100,000 that could out handle it. And the elise is only like 40k. Now add a turbo to that and you got an even more bad ass car.


Edit: I saw one last month in person and Not to be cliche but it was like poetry in motion.
