Lotus elise 111R vs elise '11 (poll)

[glenn88]

I want to know which of these two is better at 500 pp
For one the 2011 model got fewer pp stock so it could be tuned more until it reached 500 pp, the 111R got more pp stock because it got more power. Which is best at 500 pp ?

I haven't tuned them for 500pp, but I have for 450pp. Currently my 11 is beating most 111r's but I have a feeling the 111r has more potential. I haven't dedicated much time to them because online people consider them the cheater cars. And how fun is it when you know the main reason you're beating people is because you just have a faster car? But I am interested in the results.

the '11 can be tuned to have more PP than the '04 and it looks... i want to say prettier, but i am like the biggest elise fan and have been for almost 10 years (and im only 14!) but i love the hell out of them so all i can say is, they're only 50 grand each, buy both! but i would say the 111R is easier to drive, but if you are good, the '11 could be faster at 500PP. buy 'em, love 'em, go home.

The 111R will almost always be faster that the '11. The 111R has the 1800cc Toyota engine, whereas the '11 is only a 1600. There's not a huge amount in it, but from what I've seen @450PP, the 111R has that extra bit of ummph...

I prefer the 111R, because of the 2ZZ-GE engine so you can fit some TRD, C-One, etc. goodies to it xD. Currently running C-One 6-Speed Cross Mission Gear Ratio for my 111R and it's a monster. I wonder what would happen if they had the Exige..
