Thought I'd share some Exige with the org

My friend just got one (regular 190hp exige), I only had to sit in that car with the engine off to really like it. You get through the doorsill and drop like 2 feet into the bucket seat.

But the thread was just to post a pic. Am I the only person who gets a hardon for the pictured car?

Seen one downtown tonight looked nice silver with gunmetal rims had New Jersey plates tho. I live in Canada btw.

looks alright. That bottom step looks out of place on the front bumper.

You know what would make that thing the extra bit better? An automatic transmission

In case the big red tow hook, tires, wing, and fenders didnt tip you off it isn't a street car.

I can tell. The windshield wiper is stuck in an awkward position. Would really annoy me if I had to drive that thing for extended periods.

i had alot of love for these cars but the lack of ps, the very very rough ride and the twitchy driving feel that comes with one. very nice pic, but i would probally take a c6 over one if I was buying it with my own cash

[MrGone]

I love them

There's a guy here in Kansas City that races his Elise in Auto-x/road and on the drag strip. On street rubber, the car pulls 1.6-1.7 60 foots. It's obviously quite competitive in the auto-x and road courses. In the spring he installed a SC and the car is making another 60whp. In NA form, the car went 13.03@105mph. With SC, it's doing 12.4s@110mph.

He's quite a racing nut http://www.drjanestewart.com/darksol/showcase.html

i don't.
they are uncomfortable cars..least the older ones were(5-8 year old lotuses)
also i think they would be fun to have for a track but for a weekend car or dd useless.

I got to ride along with an instructor at NHMS in a street legal Exige. Also got to be in the drivers seat and see how the car felt. Once I wiggled my way into the car it was quite comfortable for me as a driver or a passenger. (6' 220 pounds)

That being said you can't be claustrophobic or being in one of these might bother you a bit. Braking before going into the bowl at NHMS at 110~120 MPH where I brake my Maxima at 80~90 MPH can be even more scary.
I think that was one of the few times I've ever gotten nervous riding along at a roadcourse. That and a C5 Z06 with shaved r-comps in the rain...

As far as street driving goes it's not made for it. Makes me wonder why they offer a "touring pack" as a option.
