Tesla Roadster packs power in a flash of electricity - Los Angeles Times

Street lights streak past me like tracer bullets. My little mental circuits go snap-pop with the thrust. God has grabbed me by the jockstrap and fired me off his thumb, rubber band-style. Wow. Meanwhile, over in the Porsche, 19th-century mechanical forces are taking their own sweet time. The driver has to clutch, shift to a lower gear, and de-clutch -- a regime that takes about half a second if he's talented. When he pushes on the accelerator pedal, the throttles in the Porsche's throat open, the fuel injectors start hosing down the cylinders with high-test, and the variable-angle cams rotate to maximize intake-valve duration. The flashing fire in the cylinders can now apply its maximum force to the pistons. But it takes precious milliseconds to overcome the inertia of the engine's reciprocating masses -- the pistons, the rods and the crankshaft -- and to convert that force to torque (rotational force).

What car is faster a toyota starlet turbo all chaved up or a lotus elise off the shelf standard?
Jan 12, 2009 by Spittin' The Truth™ ✔ | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
I say lotus elise hands down but local chavs say toyota starlet turbo chav edition.
I don't want to race them by the way.
Depends what mods the starlet has, they come with 130bhp standard so with a few mods it could be pushing close to 200bhp.
The lotus however is around 200bhp standard and is considerably lighter then the starlet.
I would say the starlet would probably win off the line but around corners the lotus would win hands down.

I have a Lotus Elise Type 72 and wish to upgrade the manual windows to electric ones - is this possible, and how much roughly will it cost?
Buy a universal kit for about £60 then find a mate to fit them or pay quite a bit to get them fitted, were are u from?
