"Don't know how you drive quickly, but if your driving quickly but no where near the limit, then pretty sure your not driving quickly..."

surely that is a relative thing.

i could throw a 1.2 vauxhall nova around a roundabout at about 20mph and be on the limit. i could do the same at 35mph in an elise and be nowhere near the limit.

"How is saying that a Lotus is easier to drive fast a statement of fact,"

i dont know as i never said such a thing or anywhere close. but if thats how you interpreted it i am extremely sorry.

'yeah, the tiny engine, the enormous mass, the huge number of seats and luggage space. they all make it difficult to accelerate and slow. the thin, high profile tyres, the overall geometry and stiffness...just what were lotus thinking :)'

Power to weight make it far more difficult to accelerate, especially in the wet conditions. LAck of clever TC makes it even more so. Also pretty sure the Elise (certainly the one I drive) has no ABS, making braking more difficult... you just have to stamp on the pedal any modern Porsche.

'i could be wrong but i think this is the first mention of track days in the thread'

"Driving a car quickly on track or on the road... the same principles apply."

i think you might upset a lot of people if you drive the same on a track as you are supposed to on the road. you will definitely upset a lot of people if you drive the same on the road as you can on a track.

"A car with a basic traction control system, no ABS, low weight and short wheel base will be more difficult to drive quickly than a Boxter or 911 with it's clever electronics."

that may be so,

but elises are still nice cars. they are also very easy to drive quick with little driver skill.

btw, im pretty sure you can turn off the toys on a porsche (assuming it has them depending on age)
