First of all you can tell if its an Exige cause theres a whacking great intercooler in the way of the back window

- which made me laugh even more getting into it because Lotus still put a rear view mirror on the windscreen.

Just so you have a clear view of your intercooler.

- but daddy was declared blind 6 months into ordering it so guess who gets to drive it?) turned up for a session on a runway.

I was passenger in the F430 when they had a play.

Neck and neck til 80 then the Ferrari starts to pull away.

The Ferrari is great for making people jump with its active exhaust, over 3,000rpm the valve opens and it sounds like God just let one rip:) The Exige on the other hand just sounds like a jet once its going.

Cornering wise, ive been in the Exige when the driver was giving it some

Even gets half decent MPG being as though it weighs nothing.
