Not sure how different the handling ability will be.
you're one of the first people I've heard asking for more straight line speed from an Elise. The regular model does 0-60 in 4.9. The sc model cuts a half second off that. That is c5 corvette territory. The Elise is down 10hp to the brz but weighs 800 lb less.
