Looked like it could have been driven a good bit harder in sections, and if you remove the traffic...

Tempted Chilled?

When I think of the ultimate Nurburgring tool, I think large saloon with even large engine. The Elise R/Exige never normally does anything stellar with high speed corners, and runs out of puff around 140-150.

Having said that, this one looks facking quick in a straight line anyway!

Honda engines like that just seem to be perfectly suited on the track. It's shame then that it's at its best in someone else's cars like Lotus or Ariel. Honda's engines are amongst the best in the world, but their cars are becoming more and more average. In my opinion they should buy Ariel and save at least some face.

Blurter, it wasn't meant critically, it just looks like he had room for more in a few places being the good driver he is, but he was battling with traffic too. I can't talk - ive only done 17 laps of the Ring

My point was, its bloody quick and could be well under 8:30.

Kenny - 10k just for the k20 upgrade it seems

WRC technology turbocharged Exige the S2 NA Exige and I think that was pushing 300.

An Exige S can be had for
