Elise vs Exige

[toxicfrog]

Hi,

In the market for a proper trackday weapon (also a Lotus fan) - is the Exige really 10 grand better than the Elise on a track? (im talking S1 Exige vs S1 Elise here)

Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul

bog std Elise S1 vs Exige S1 then yes....you get a 190bhp engine, suspension, tyres etc

...but as most are modified in some way then you could qquite easily buy a cheap Elise and spend £3-4K on it to sort it out

Please change your name, you are confusing the shit out of me, we already have a Toxic Frog (Alex) Just don't change it to Philygumbo!

Me too! I was kinda thinking that the real ToxicFrog new his stuff when it came to cars. Hence the confusion.

Yeah me too. It could get really confusing on here if everyone had the same name.

If you had a Honda Elise with all the Nitrons and big brake etc then that would be the ideal track weapon. the standard Exige is very good indeed but i think, now this may not be true, but the Elise would make a better track car with a few mods due to it being lighter to start with.

Do you have a budget in mind?

Ive a feeling the 'new' toxics should be called either 'toothless frog' or 'pensioner frog'

OMG - "crotch rocket frog"

I feel bad about the other night Gooby, partly for missing dinner, partly for not recognising you or the car but mostly for not recognising Mrs Gooby until I'd already had the thought "Wow who's the hotty in the 4WD"

[patmahe]

Road - Elise
Track - Exige
IMO

[Twinpipe]

Oh yeah...erm, Exige everytime.
