Having seen, on this site, some claims of amazing handling from the Lotus Elise and the great write ups for the car on the road in car magazines. I having owned a Vauxhall VX200 Turbo (based on the Elise chassis) and a similarly configured Zenos E10S and have driven a few Elises on track I thought it be good to share Mark Hales dsription of how the Elise works when pushed to near the limit.

It is also interesting to know that Lotus designed in bump steer to help manage the handling for their customers!
Having just picked up my Morgan Club Sport and the following day taken it to Goodwood I have not experienced any bad behaviour which I experienced with both the VX and E10 and the Morgan just as quick IMHO.
