Performance - Better than Exige S?

[noobified]

It definitely won't outperform an Exige S/S 240 until the turbo version comes out. With an Exige S 240 coming in at 70K+, I wonder how Lotus will price the Eagle. The price point has to make sense, but how much more will people be willing to pay for a NA Eagle?

They have said this about every new introduction for as long as I can remember. What are they going to say, that the new model is slower around the track than the previous model? They even said that the S2 was quiicker around the track than an S1. I don't think so, not mine at least!
