As funny as that sounds, take a look at what Feff had to say about this exact comparison: (from http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...us#post1025938)

I’ll start with the best part. A friend and ironically fellow V owner (Ron) was there with his turbocharged (around 250-270HP) Lotus Elise. My third session on the track Saturday, I followed Ron and the V stayed right with the Elise and not just on the straights, but through the turns as well. Granted there was an extra 190 pounds (about 10% of the Elise weight) in the Elise as Ron had a passenger. Ron is a very good driver (OK Feff stop patting yourself on the back!). He came up to me after the session as I exclaimed “Now that was fun!”. We discussed the V and how much fun it is. Guys you probably won’t hear me say this often, but my V is MUCH better on the track (and day to day driving) then any of the five Lotus Esprit I’ve owned before. A good number of people asked about the V namely how much it weighs. I was the lone V at the track day and we suprised several Porsche drivers and numerous Audi drivers. The car handles flawlessly on track.
