2004 E55
WOW, that was fun to watch. Best race video I've ever seen. What a stark difference, the cornering and straightaway ability of the two cars. Thank you for posting that link.

Since this is a racing Elise vs a street non Z06 Vette, can you imagine what the Vette would be like if it were lighter, had 500 hp and had racing mods to the brakes and suspension? Then you'd be talking about the 2006 C6 Z06 Vette due out in 14 months-my next vehicle.

Even though im not a fan of Vette's at all I think there performance is great they destroy alot of cars out there track and off. Great performance for the buck thank god the interior is improved for 2k6.

The Corvette in this video

is a Corvette tuned by Red Motorsport (a German tuner) with a different suspension and wheels/tires, upgraded brakes and around 380-390 horsepower.

I agree about the new vette. Only one I have ever thought about buying; I really like it.

Ever since I got the E55, I stopped driving the 442. Since the market is hot for musclecars, I sold it. I put an ad on MBWorld classifieds and on one collector car sites, had 5 calls or emails in 24 hrs and a bank check in hand for asking price sight unseen in 72 hrs.

Regarding the new Vette, I think it's a great improvement over the C5 but surprisingly a lot of Corvette enthusiasts don't like it.
