At the last Apex I did, I was faster than a good driver in an Exige because his tired R-comps couldn't hold 1G, while I was getting 1.2G from RS3's.

I took my Elise off-road all the time. Made a great all-terrain plow with its solid body panels.

Plus it's ~200 pounds lighter. The S2k should be able to reach higher peak speeds in the acceleration sections.
And really, a high 1:09 is only a little over a second faster than 1:11.08. ;)
