And you've driven all 3? and have a good basis for comparsion?

All the Elise Drivers I know hate getting the tail out becuase it takes an awful lot to get it back in. Iv only ever seen on ovesteer slide pulled of 3 times in an Elise. 2 were on Lotus promotional videos on a wet track, and the 3rd was at a club track day. The driver spun twice before he managed to pull it off.

How old are you?
The original Super 7 was a Lotus 7 biult under license. (lotus sold the license to caterham) so the original Super 7 is in essence the original series 1 Lotus 7, a car far older than most ppl on this forum.


Dejoix, you sawan Elise when you were only 13? I suddenly feel very old.

I am talking about the Super 7 JPE by Caterham that came out in '93, not the original lotus. Didn't it come out in the 50s? Anyway, Im 30...you?
