2006 FF275 Turbo Exige $42,500

2006 Lotus Exige

A buddy of mine just purchased a 05 Viper, and I think it bit me. If I can sell this for my asking price, I think I am going to go for an 08 coupe or an ACR(If I can bring myself to spend the $.) The power it produces is just unbelievable.... I have been debating building up the motor on mine to match his performance, but at that point I am just throwing money into a car that I am never going to get back.
Mods Include:
Forcedfed FF275 Stage 3 package
EFI ECU w/ DBW Module (dual maps)
Upgraded HKS SSQ BOV
ACT Heavy Duty Clutch
Accusump w/ remote opening
Moroso Oil Pan
Oil Pressure/Oil Temp Gauge Cluster
Boost Gauge
AEM Wideband
Mounted Halon Fire Extinguisher
Matte CF Door sills, center console and AC surround

Car has track package, touring package, starshield, and LSD.

I have a set of Kodiak wheels that should be shipping this week, although I don't think they will go with the sale(unless the seller wants to purchase them)

14k miles

I would need to get $42,500 for the car to sell it.

I'm in Houston, TX

I have a 95 viper. I was interested in this car prior to you buying plus to far for me to try and work a deal but now it is local. lmk

Nice car!
I am really looking to get an 08+ Viper to one up my business partner :shift:

On a side not, he let me drive the Viper around today and I just think the car fits me better. I'm 6'4", and while the seating position is kinda high on the viper I fit a little better in every other aspect(they make lower seat rails as well from what he told me.)
I'm fairly sure this car won't remain a feeler much longer... If I can find a good deal on a 08 Coupe I will be going for it.

Don't know what you are wanting to spend but these seem to be good buys. If you trade in some where let me know.

Won't do a trade.... The dealers would never give me what I want, and if I'm going to take a big hit I would rather keep the car

I have been looking around, found an ACR for $85k with 3k miles.. I have found several 08's will <10k miles in the $60k price range.

God if I could only find a way to get this through smog..Do you have any of the oem stuff that was removed? Ecu being the major part..

 

[toptechexperts]

The stock ECU is still in place, and I have the injectors in a box that Mark sent me with the car. From my understanding you need to force the wastegate actuator open so that it doesn't build boost, put in the stock injectors/O2 Sensor(which I have as well) and it should pass.

An 09 ACR? I want one.... I'd get rid of the S240 for one... it bites me also... Damn acceleration....

It will be up for sale until I can get what I'm asking. I'm not in a hurry to sell the car, as I'm really on the edge of what to do. I spent some time driving the exige this evening, and it is really a toss up as to which I like better. The exige is more fun on the backroads that Houston lacks... The viper is much easier/funner to drive on a daily basis... Oh, and did I mention the torque?
One thing I would dearly miss are all the sounds that the turbo kit makes... As many people have told me, it feels/sounds like we are about to take off in some sort of a jet. The sound never gets old!
The ACR was an 08... I called today and it had been sold
