'"you said to drive quickly, which usually means on (or near) the limit"

i really dont agree with that statement.'

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...

'and? it wasnt an argument, more a statement of fact but hey ho, i guess everything has to be an agrument.'

How is saying that a Lotus is easier to drive fast a statement of fact, when I (and many others) would say the opposite?

'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. 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.
