Apparenlty you are missing reading comprehension skilllz cuz I said Elise, not exige. And we all know hp#'s alone determine a car’s performance, amirite? to explain the title: the elise should’ve come w/ the JDM K20 instead of that pos toyota motor. ---

Head to head, same track, same drive, same day the Elise was faster than the MRS. lol since when do people on this site really care about warranties? you are also comparing a blown 4 vs an NA4…i’d hope the S would make more power than a stock K20 with “custom” intake/exhaust manifolds lol. what motor were those MRS’ running in those comparisons? JDM K20’s? ---

Blown 2ZZE, had more power, but had more weight. plus there are a decent amount of K20/K24 swapped elises/exige running around. MRS isn’t the best performing chasis. ---
