You fucking idiot

Tell you what, buy that car mate, and we can swap, then we'll both be happy

That thing would probably lap my car in about 4 laps of any circuit, even the ring, lol

That is better than his nova/corsa.
Chips nova is not bad but this is much better.

Pmsl jesus christ, you'd have to be in love worth vauxhall's to prefer chips nova over that (as cool as the nova is lol)......that exige looks damn amazing, super clean and well done by the look of it, can't imagine what a weapon it is on track!!!!

Just for the record, as people are taking him out of context.
He wasnt saying my car is actually better mate, he just means its something he can relate to better and work on etc, that one is a bit too professional and clinical for people like me and clarkey who like to get stuck in and do random things on old crap cars and much as I would far far far rather do a lap of the ring in that than my nova, TBH I would enjoy owning it less, as what would I tinker with? its too finished, its perfect, there is nothing left to play with, to me orclarkey driving a car is only a small part of the fun of owning it.

i would not want to own a car like that for thease reasons

1. im a chav it dose not suit me
2. i would be scraied to drive it just in case it gets scratched
3. ive more chance of insuring a nova
4. i would never be able to afored it

im not saying its a bad car in any way i just would prefure the nova lol

NOTHING like my car, its massively massively better in every conceivable way than my car, more power, the handling will be in a different league entirely, the brakes will be perfect im sure, in fact that would be quicker than mine round a track if you ran it on spacesavers I expect.

No point at all comparing them, mine's a home made car that isnt finished, that looks like its had 200K and a raceteam involved in the build!

It could be quick on the ring.
But i guess it would need lots of setup work for the ring.

The car is mechanically awesome, but jesus christ the colour combos are just plain wrong.
Would love to read a spec sheet of the car though.

Love the Exige, I think I'd probably kill myself in it as it looks so quick and has loads of grip, would like to see it on a track at it's limit.
