How does the latest motorsport 190 elise rate against all the other lotus variants (exige, elise TT conversions, honda engine conversions) and even the legendary Porsche 964 RS for sheer track day speed?

A colleague told me the new 190 was capable of a 4.4 0-60 and would be faster than all the above on a trackday.

4.4 seconds is true the 190 is an Elise with and Exige [VHPD}Engine [once you remove the track stuff ie.rollbar and take of the black alloys it becomes the best lotus body with the best K-Series Engine and when its a VHPD your enhancement possibilities increase imagine this 190 Elise sport tourer with A/C[leather ect.] and a TT260 conversion and heypresto you have a car that could out accelerate and luxuriate a cerbera for the same price but looks better.0-60 4.0 topspeed 155+ [just a suggestion]

I'm sure he has all the models, just no real car.
