Well, The Exige is geared more for track duty as we all know ( on this BB ) but I recently had a 08' Exige 240S pull up to my basically stock '05 Elise with A048's/Sport Wheels, Track sport ECU, 11 lb AGM battery. I was'nt going to race him , but he revved it, so I dumped the clutch and power shifted and took off about 3 car lengths ahead and let off the gas before he wailed past me hearing his supercharger kick in. He had 50 more HP, and more weight. Put it this way, Throw Mario Andretti in a stock Elise, and he'll most likely beat any novice driver with an Exige on the Track, it's about driving skills when the cars are closely matched. Elise = Road and Track Exige = Track Performance edge over Elise
