I like that car but it needs to be too high in the revs to make power, and one is continually shifting to keep it there. I like the LSX series engines for a reason.

...and a race setup lsx engine would have a close ratio gear box, and make all its power up high too.

The Exige is coming to the States.. but the one in that picture is some sort of race car setup. Kinda like using a C6R as an example of a C6

Here's the one we're getting:

More than likely what you saw was an Elise:

The Exige is basically the hardtop version of the Elise.
