...for federal cars, the 2006 exige was naturally-aspirated, while the 2007-present exige S featured an intercooled supercharger tuned to 220, 240, or 260 brake horsepower...
Charlie is talking about in the UK.2005 for the exige.
2007 Exige S for the USA
2008 Elise SC for the USA
I wasn't aware there were any other Lotus factories installing superchargers 
At least one Elise was supercharged by the factory in 2006 for testing. It was for sale at Park Place not to long ago if I remember right.
An Exige was available all years in N/A trim, correct? I was just under the impression that not many were ordered that way.
In the US I believe only the Exige S was available from 2007.An Exige was available all years in N/A trim, correct? I was just under the impression that not many were ordered that way.
As I have never seen a non S Exige that wasn't 2006. Though the UK might be different.

That car was at the CARB testing labs with the lotus chaps when i was doing work on the aftermarket CARB stuff, bit of a coincedence!
So whatever happened to your CARB work?That car was at the CARB testing labs with the lotus chaps when i was doing work on the aftermarket CARB stuff, bit of a coincedence!
