Ahh... trump cards?

The Opel Speedster Turbo may be fast, but on Britain's Channel 5 Fifth Gear show, Tiff Needell did a back to back comparison with the Lotus Elise /Exige (with the american spec Toyota Celica engine... 190 hp)

He drove the Elise about a second faster on a closed circuit.

Power isn't everything.
