Rep Power: 0 A link was posted to a turboed one of those on Ebay just a bit of a while back, was making well in excess of 300HP, that would be absolutely sick.
Man I love the Exige, who would've thought you could make an Elise even more hardcore?

Rep Power: 0 the lotus elise is an amazing car. my neighbors is black. he drove me in it once. i have to tell you , it has power nothing!!! the car is small, but when you sit in it, it fits snuggly. even though its a toyota engine the car sounds mean. car accelartes like crazy too. the funny thing about the car is that the headunit looks like its aftermarket. i dont really fancy it. all in all i think that car is the most bang for your buck. he told me he paid 48k. ill get some pics of it up next to my vic =(

Rep Power: 0 since when is a k20a2 240 hp ?????????? I've never seen an I/H/E/hondata k20 hit 230 whp. typically they'd need the type r conversion and cams to get close to that. either way the exige is a very nice car 
no, the elise is NOTHING like a celica except the engine.
1900 lbs car stock with about 160whp stock. plus RWD and a chasis made to outhandle everything.
0-60 of 4.4 seconds and a low 13 second 1/4 mile stock.

The celica is not 1900lbs.... And the celica is not a 13 second car. If you think yours is... don't go betting money on the strip with a stock celica.
