Woot! boosted Exige's are the bomb! Now if they'd only bring the vauxall 2.2 turbo'd one over...

There's one in the newest SCC that has supercharged Honda power. Blasphemy yes, but apparently is much better than the stock Toyota motor. BTW, I just sat in an Elise yesterday, they are tight, but real functional. If I had the scratch, I'd be tempted to sell the DSM and get into one of those.

Werd, the Honda-powered Elises are much more potent than the Toyota-powered ones. Damn you Toyota and coming in with the lower bid!

Too bad they couldn't strike a deal with Mitsu.

Was Mitsu ever even involved in the talks? I don't really think Mitsu would be able to fulfill what they were looking for though since they wanted lighweight and quick revs. Mitsu could definitely make the power, but it really wouldn't fit with the cars design/intention.
