Pretty cool.

Those Elises are set up for road coarsing right out of the box...I love how he snuck back in.
On the autoX tracks, the Elise is on the of the most fun cars I've ever ridden in. I'd love to drive one once.

Neither driver was particularly wonderful though.

aside from the Civic driver's incessant need to bounce off the rev-limiter, I don't see how you are arriving at your statement... those guys were going balls-out... I would be interested to know what your idea of a wonderful driver is....

I know you've mentioned auto-xing before, but have you ever driven a car on a roadcourse like the one in the video? There is no comparison, imo... auto-xing = minor leagues.

agreed. thought the civic did some good driving. yea fucked up on some lines but for the most part i thought he did a good job. Civic had to have some type of work on it.
