Hokies buy Z's.
If you plan to track it and aren't planning on upgrading, go with the Track model.
Performance model gets you the LSD+VDC.

When you make sweeping changes like that it sends up a red flag that says first year car. It will have the same issues that the Z did in it's first year. What is great is that Nissan was proactive in their design to better the issues.

And I'm a little bias... the Elise doesn't hold a candle to the Esprit
Well, the engine/trans are not new either... it's the ones from Celica GTS...
