I don't get this car anymore. I am dissappointed. WTF, how can the Porsche be faster than the 240R?! I thought the Exige was supposed to have more grip (adjustable suspension even & AO48s!), pull more Gs, more downforce, about the same acceleration. Why am I buying this car if it will get beat by a 911 S or even a Boxster S for the Elise maybe even the Exige. I can buy the Porsche and drive that sh*t everyday, rain or shine and not worry; drive in comfort; have trunk space. WTF is going on here? Either that chick can't drive consistently like the Stig or the Exige sucks. They show the overlay on that tight turn and the 911 pulled ahead! WTF, I thought Lotus' were supposed to whoop ass in tight turns. And with the Exige's downforce it's likely to whoop ass in long sweeping turns. I don't get it. Am I just going to buy this car because it looks awesome and it's rare? Maybe, but I thought this car was better than all except for the big HP exotics.

I want to see Stiggy drive the 240R around Top Gear's track.
