Doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid sounding name. ...reminds me of a lot of cheezball car club names I see from time to time I got one, we got an organization here in town called "Phat rides" most of them are ugly riced out piles of [censored]. They even have an S-10 with a can muffler and Altezza lights, and they let him wear the "phat rides" logo... Stupid name, filled with ricers. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

How did they manage to make it so light? I thought the full $40,000+ CF body drops the Elise into the 16xx lb range? They must have done something absolutely amazing!

They must have done something absolutely amazing! my bad gotapex it is almost as powerful power to weight ratio but not as powerful. the guy i was talking to said the 380 was a conservitive guesstimate but power was closer to 400. as far as i know they changed very little from the standard car but i could be wrong -a koni kit - hpp rstb camber/plates - cf (yikes!) polyroll resistors - TCA's WR headers/ypipe -TB hiflow cat SFC's - XCal2 -dreaming of 3L-
