<<<My friend doesn't drive the car hard, and is too afraid of breaking the
car he needs to get to and from work, so yes he would be slower. He did say
his friend turns 8:30 second laps in an Elise 49 which is about to what the
Porsche driver did. An Elise 190S or with the aftermarket Turbo would be
more competitive, as long as the Porsche driver continued to take the slow
lines around.???
Neither your friend nor his car are listed at this web site:

However, the RUF CTR is listed with a lap time of 8:15 and the Lotus Esprit
Turbo with a lap time of 8:46.
