Did he do a review on his Exige? Any linkages?

I was going to test drive on today but the weather is crap and wouldn't do it justice.

I wanted to try an S and non S, and also a 111R which they have one of each in stock at Lotus near me

I sort of ruled out an Exige over the Evo / Skyline options but I fear i'm really going to want one!

Looking at the stats, the Exige S is a lot quicker than the non S but not sure how this will "feel" in the real world.

An S is also a lot more than I want to spend, where as a non S is in my range and a 111R is under budget.

Shall report back once I have tried them!

 

You will find the major difference between the Exige and the Elise is that the Exige is more focussed - substantially which for me didn't tick the right boxes but Jo loved it.

I have also driven both the S and standard Exige (with the Lotus ECU remap) and the Exige is S is noticeably quicker but I think a portion of this is the audible addition of the supercharger. However stock versus S then the s/c does add a lot more useable power.

 

Last I heard Marc was off to Singapore working for a coupe of years

 

Thanks both

Kelk, I guess the Exige is nore noisy in either form?

The 111R they have in has some soundproofing add on?

 

The Exige S is probably the best car I have ever driven. I liked the feel of the acceleration.

 

A good friend of mine has just bought an S and it stays with another friend's tuned RX-7 FD3 which *wasn't far* off my old Yammy R6 in almost every respect! (acceleration - in-gear and from stand still).

So they're Very, very fast...

 

( An R6 is faster to 100mph than a McLaren F1 IIRC)

I didn't think the acceleration was anything near to a sports bike but still *very* good for a car.

 

I must get in touch with him cos I'm due in Singapore in May.

 

Are you pregnant?

 

well i went to look at one and the deal could be attractive. The prospect of owning one is very exciting, where the evo isn't as much. Its a grey s one with harnesses and performance pack stuff. Going to drive it on monday. May need some advice on the deal, due to the price i'd rather finance some of it than have a load me money tied up in it.

V excited!
