The power curve over a normal Exige is just funny to watch, though you'd only expect that to be the case.

When you hear talk of "there will always be a faster car out there"...this is one case of what they're refering to.

For those interested, take a look at the thread: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f160...hargers-77502/

Here is a video of it running uphill through some sweeping curves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjwdV1AMtEg

Power to weight ratio is insane. That HAS TO BE a blast to drive.
