Default Lotus Exige 260 Cup

Does any body have any experience of these cars? l have been fortunate to test drive one in Sardinia as part of the Evora roadshow,

I must say l thought it was a big go kart with plenty of poke, very impractial to use daily but as a toy to have a blast it l think it could be loads of fun.

Are they reliable and tunable ?

Cheers

Mike

Did a track day at bedford last year an had a few laps against one , The driver of this particular one could not drive to save his life but you could see the thing had some grunt, once he got it straight out of the corners it would surge a head until the next corner were he would slam on the anchors an take the corner steady ...
