Yes, the close ratio is abit annoying really,
I cant shift to 5th or 6th gear cos the torque is terrible!!
Unless cruising on the highway.

Thats why AP2 has lowered the rev and make it more easier to drive

The design of Elise is just for play but not for use
Maybe the technology but not the performance, the basic Elise is 6sec, and the handling is uncomparable.
not to mention the Elise SC which is 4.6sec

You know i am a Die hard Lotus fan
Hahahaaaa

So i think MRS is more fun for HK roads, although S2000 offers better dynamics, power and handling, but you rarely can't use its 9K rev really.

My friends tried to drive "his" car in a quiet road, he stored 4 times in one traffic light and the truck behind was so pissed off!! I were so embrrassing!! And a police next to us too!!

He said he wont drive the car out unless i sit next to him, OMG!
congrats to YOU for getting another car then! haha

My boss know the ppl at Vins motors but he say they are rip off and 15% more than the market value.
he used to get most of the BM amg and ships them to UK and other country's to sell.
they used to have 2 shop there, 1 across the road but it closed down a few months ago.

last year I ask them how much they would give for my old e60 and they say 140k which is 20k less than BMW
