    I haven't followed the "Confirmation: did Ronin crash today?" thread, so I had no idea that the car in the video I linked to in the OP was being discussed elsewhere. (I stopped by that thread a couple of times but it seemed to be a personal dispute between people I don't know, so I moved on.)

    Anyway, this Exige sounds like a great project. I'm glad no one was hurt in the accident.

    From what I can gather the car started out as a standard Elise and not an Exige.

    680 RWHP from 1.8(?) SHHhhh!!!

    So this car was just recently driven off the road and damaged? Hope the car isn't too hurt.

    On a different note, and not necessarily to take the post off subject the HennesseyGT is claimed to come in and weigh 2743 Pounds. Guess using that Ford GT engine really made it a fat ass with it's forced induction.

    Any Torque numbers on that 1.8L?

    ^^^ Ronin has a site/blog where he discusses this project quite a bit. He even answers Qs once in a while. Take a look.^^^

    Do you have an URL to that website? I've only seen stuff for it on Google on Jalopnik et al all the other suspect website(s)... I cannot find the exact path to his webpage.

    Thank you. And above with the Hennessey I meant to say VenomGT not HennesseyGT!

    And for those who want to go back and forth for the fastest production (Orderable) car in the world and Guiness making their ruling I and others don't agree. Having to take the ECU to message some fuel mappings - something that doesn't come on the Veyron Straight from the factory. If you can't throw the keys to someone for the car out of the factory then it's been modified Just to get the record. Which however the VenomGT is an Exige Chopped in half too add the new motor.

    The Veyron has that test track that is huge and round. The Hennessey hit it's V-max at Two miles. I would like someone take the Venom and even the Lotus that is the subject of this post at the Moscow Mile or that Mile run they do in Texas?

    /rambling

    I hope he can get his car up and running and especially heal from his Injuries as soon as possible. Being from Long Beach, LA County, I know about the where the spot all this happened. And it is a Quagmire during most of the day.

    On the accident pics that showed your car, that porsche was nowhere in the pictures. In that link, the porsche had a flat tire. Did the porsche drive away with a flat tire after hitting you?

    Dude this is so old... There's the proof if it's not good enough for you take it up with the CHP Ya know he drove a mile down the road before he pulled over, ask him how it felt when he hit me... Ask his insurance company how happy they were....
    Now find a bridge and get back under it troll..

    Lotus does build the Exige. Just they don't build them to the spec of Mr Ronin's car!

    Now is this the Toyota engine because I know, I could have sworn, that Lotus used two different engines depending on the market. Such as Europe or North America.

    Besides already being "Thick" (Talking about myself) are there any other website's I can read up on this Lotus Build? Sounds awesome and like it when folks take things into their own hands to achieve what they are trying to do.

    I can't find the links to Ronin's blog on the original car. Perhaps he took it down when he decided to go open top?
