I remember talking to a guy at work who worked at lotus about the VX220, he said vauxhall / Opel had a much bigger budget than the original Elise S2 and hence it was actually quite a bit quicker, esp the Z20LET powered one

Wasn't it that GM paid for the development of the elise/vx220 and built the production line in Hemel Hempstead. Did the elise have the toyota 1.8 celica engine, while the vx had a production gm 2.2 and 2.2 turbo with different engine management that the standard? Trying to remember off the top of my head. Friend has a VX and it is a bit spartan as a passenger, the passenger seat is fixed in place.
There was a daewoo version that didn't sell at all and got hold of some of the badges and changed friends car to a daewoo. Didn't notice till we told him.

Very much so, and were quicker than the lotus.
