The initial 20hp bump of the 240 wasn't all that convincing, but 40hp bump is not something to ignore. Would Charlie's Gotham tune yield the same results, or no?

2076 / 260 = 7.98 lb/HP... That's identical to the new Carrera S. 3075 / 385

EDIT: I made a mistake. Carrera S's curb weight is 3,131, making that # 8.13 lb/HP. So the Exige 260 will have a better power to weight figure than a Carrera S. NOT BAD!!!
