Lotus Elise, by far.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Lotus Elise, by far.

For sports, yes. For GT, no. Same for the MX-5, Solsitce/Sky adn S2000. In the spririt of a combined Sports/GT category, I have to vote Corvette.

The Corvette will always be the best sports car for under $50k.

Elise, I've yet to be that impressed with Corvettes. They put up big numbers but i've never found them that special to drive. I still need to drive an Elise but i'd take my chances choosing one over a vette.


"Let?s get one thing clear right away: The Lotus Elise isn?t for everyone. It?s not for those who need an everyday commuter car, nor is it for you poor devils with hereditary back problems or bigger-than-average frames. And it?s definitely not for people who consider driving a chore, equating it with doing the dishes or walking the dog. But for everyone else, this little 2-seater is about the closest thing there is to nirvana on four wheels."(Road & Track 3/05)

Sounds like the perfect sports car to me.

Tough call between the 'Vette and the Elise, but I had to go with the 'Vette. It can actually be a comfortable driver, and then go tear up the track.

I chose the sky/solstice based mainly on the availability of the 2.0T ecotec. Yes, I would probably take a Solstice GXP over a Corvette if someone was giving them to me at no cost to myself.
