an exige is VERY similar to the elise. I am more of a fan of the elise, actually. However, the exige is available with a blower. But it’s still the same motor as mine. (From what I understand, lotus was having problems getting the car to run at WOT, so they limited the throttle opening to 60% from the factory) ---

And they are street cars, hence the license plate and the inspection. Your posts as off late just make me wanna slap the shit out of you. ---
