= 14.2

2005 Lotus Elise
1,975 lbs
190 hp/138 tq
= 10.4

---------------------------

2006 Crossfire SRT6
3,240 lbs
330 hp/310 tq
= 9.8

2007 Lotus Exige
2,077 lbs
220 hp/165 tq
= 9.4

So there we have it. Better hp to weight ratios while having a far superior suspension for track duty. Equal drivers in both cars, this isn't a race.
There you have it... I guess every driver in every Lotus I've raced on every track in So. Cal. is far inferior... Thanks for the compliments.
