Even the old 190s are dear. With only 1000 glass rear exige v6, maybe there is still hope 😂

1000 ever so slightly heavier, not as noisy, without matte black bits and without a twaty gear linkage glass rear 👌

I think you've just described a Mercedes.

[JG]

That's exactly what I wanted. A vx with a bit more Mercedesness. The Evora was too Mercedesey and not enough VX.

And now the VX is too vx and not enough Exige It's days are numbered...

I might put it back together later.

 

But I probably won't

How can you put a single lego brick back together? Don't you need multiple?

The Lego brick looks very similar to the exige in that one pic!😄😳 Joking aside the v6 looks more vx than elise!

well its fucking fast. 

 

Had a bit of an opportunity to stretch its legs today, still limited to 4k rpm and its pretty scary how fast it will cover ground. Its a physical thing to drive, more so than the vx. heavy steering only lightens once above 30mph, but its just right once the pace picks up.

How is the quality of the ride compared to the VX ? Are you intending to run as an everyday or just weekend toy ? 

[rob999]

They are both weekend toys I believe, only to be used on a Sunday. Every third Sunday. If it's above 18 degrees. Chance of rain is absolute zero. The roads have been swept of any detritus and there will be no chance of parking on some grass

Just wait till you take it to 7200rpm...

You are scarily right.

[JG]

There is a small problem. 

 

I've got it to 320 miles, it came with a full tank and i've refilled it twice... so thats about 160 mile range with a 4k rpm rev limit

 

Pro alloy 60L won't be long

Pfft. Man up. You'll no doubt be cleaning it atleast 3 times within that tank full, lets be honest.  

[gaffer1986]

My vx and my exige have near identical power to weight ratios. Somehow though the exige feels in a different league.

I find power to weight a fairly unhelpful way to compare cars once you're above 45mph. A powerful heavy car will always feel quicker at speed than a light car with little power even if they have a similar power to weight. But light cars always feel more nimble regardless of tyre size.

That will improve, I noticed that with mine but once you start doing some runs you should get over 200 easy. Mine did better than my vx on the hoon for fuel
