    I just picked up my Lotus Exige yesterday and the vehicle is way above expectations. This car has elements of balance and weight reduction that i have never felt before. I am sure on a race track it would be difficult for most cars to pace this car....TT porsches, f430's, f360's, etc.

    The handling is on the level of extreme. It has an excellent exhaust note and lots of people jumping out of their skin asking questions; it gets more attention that my 360. Even the girls like it.

    Car looks great. I'm sure it could be easily outpaced on any track with any significant amount of straights, however. Have fun.

    Awesome car!!! Don't let Lamour anywhere near it. Just wondering, is it difficult for you to get in and out of the car since you are tall?

    oh yeah, could you also take a picture like the one in your profile pic? I wanna see the height differences between the 360, Exige, and MINI.

    Looks great in black (OK I'm biased...)

    The front grille looks like it would be a nice mod for the Elise - clean and dramatic-looking.

    Congratulations, Ben!
    You can bet that both Colin Chapman and Jim Clarke are jumping up and down with delight at the direction Lotus has taken over the last few years.

    Wow....the color black brings a whole new perspective to that car; stunning!!!!!

    Here's your license plate frame: Something wicked carves this way

    Enjoy dude...that is one sweet ride!! :)

    Oh, on another note: it's really AWESOME to see Lotus step back into the arena of making great cars...haven't seen much from them for a couple decades. Just imagine if they did some kind of twin-turbo set-up!

    I think his Lotus is a photoshop. He should upload a video of it onto the net with todays newspaper and the car doing a 360.
