1/4 mile times for a standard elise (2000 reg)

[htid]

Anyone know what you should expect for a completely standard lotus elise 1/4 mile time (99-00 reg). Not sure of the exact model, think its a 111r

Thank you

should be 111s if it is 14.2 sec

Certainly won't be an R as far as I know they were only build from 03 on?

is it an S1 or S2 elise?

It could be a 111s or maybe the standard 120bhp elise

[htid]

Yes its w reg, thanks for your help mate

Ok must be the 111s,

What do you think the standard 120bhp would achieve 1/4 mile?

Whatever Lotus says. Add a couple of seconds.

14.07s @ 98.11mph, according to my Racelogic PBox. That was last summer in an almost stock 2000 W-reg S1, with just a decat, Hurricane and 52mm TB. It's not the sort of thing I normally do, but I'd just got the PBox and was curious, so I did a handful of runs, mostly in the low 14s, until the clutch started to smell. All on a private road, of course.

My standard(ish) '98 MMC S1 with Hurricane, full Larini, Technomagnesio wheels etc would run consistent 13.8s all day down at Meremere raceway.

Are there any 'standard' S1s left??

[Mr_C]

Mine did a 14.31 @ 95mph on a very slippy day in Feb.

Ages ago, I drove a completely standard S1 that was at a dealer. Standard induction, non-sports exhaust, brakes, the lot. It was a little uninspiring to be honest and almost put me off getting an Elise. Glad I persevered!

Anyway back to OP. I have no idea, sorry. Light weight, lowish powered cars often don't fair that well over 1/4 miles but I would have though 14ish is about the ballpark.

1999 S1 with Induction kit (cheapo brand) and Larini Exhaust
60ft 2.1792
1/8 et 9.0901
1/8 mph 77.07
1/4 et 14.2100
1/4 mph 94.95

best 1/4 mph was 95.37

best reaction time was a .6250 (.500) is a perfect light
