Exige S = Supercharged
Elise = N/A

 

still would have to go with the m12

still a 4cyl right?

 

Yes but from 170hp up to 220 I think, I know they make a GT28rs turbo kit for the Elise but its like 7K. I would like to see them on a track not a drag.

 

I just saw a yellow Lotus Exige Friday at the tint place that I got my TT done at. i sat in it and it is sooo hard to get into. It's a sweet *** car, and i took pics with my camera phone, but i know you all have seen the car. it was nice to see it up close and actually get to sit in it. The inside is so bare and nothing on the inside.. It reminds me of a racecar with all the steel on the inside and lack of luxeries to save weight. Slick *** car though

 

How much for the M12 if you were to have it all built and put together?

 

According to car and driver in 2005, $76,500. Im sure a new on is over $80k now.
