Race Tech?

[MattW]

Hi all,

You may have seen my other thread about my poor 111s being written off, well I am bouncing back and looking for a replacement as I can't stand being without my elise! I was looking at get another S1 111s but I have noticed a few nice S2's around in my price range. Most of them say they are 'Race Tech' but I have no idea what the means, can anyone shed any light for me?

Many thanks

Matt

I'm sure it was the basic model S2, around 120bhp but I could be wrong

Thanks for that I shall take great pleasure in reading through it in detail, if I am going to have to go through this search process all over again I am determined to enjoy it.

So then opinions, S1 111s or S2 Race Tech which would you choose? Or am I better off opening a seperate thread on this one?

Had an S1 and I'm afraid I'm not a fan, so I'd go for an S2 every time but the Sport 160 is a cracking car and they also do a 135 Sport. Depends if your going to use it everyday etc

Similar position to you (well, without the written off car!) and I was looking for an S2 after having a bog standard S1 earlier this year and selling it in June. However, I noticed that the S1 prices are coming down as the weather gets worse so I have just bought an immaculate very low mileage S1 111S and saved around £3-4k on what I expected to spend on the S2. I have just done 250 miles today as a I went to work meetings and it has been brilliant and noticeably better than my standard S1 which was a real nice car too. There are some excellent value S1's out there now as well as S2's so maybe have a drive in both.

Coming from an S1 111S I fear the Rach Tech 120hp non-VVC engine may not be as good as you want.

Try looking at S2 111S's 160hp.

What's your price range though?
