They should come with Honda K-series motors stock

btw.. the normal exige isn't powered by the Toyota 2ZZ engine.
that one is actually sourced from Rover.
Toyota provided the motor since the new version of the elise came out,
and the one in the video is the old version. hence it is not the Toyota engine. also 2ZZFE Toyota engine sounds much better than that
rover engine.

Sorry noob question, but in the last clip with the camera in the f20c lotus, doesnt it sound like its hitting redline a lot faster than in a stock s2k?

my redline sounds much farther away, or is it because of the weight difference, that is making it redline much much faster?

thats because its not a f20c in the exige..its a k20a...the title is wrong. look at my previous post above for proof.

That is pretty cool, I wish that car would have came with a Honda powerplant from the beginning. Also, if that was a F20c, how the hell does it have 247whp?!?
