Holy Mother of GOD does not even describe it.. Lotus Exige content.

I don't think he street "races", per se. I've driven with him in the past and despite his online persona, he's a very controlled, relatively conservative canyon driver. He doesn't push it. And he never crosses the double yellow.

Oh and yes, the car is insane.

TCL:

If you don't keep it below 5/10 or only drive fast at track=you are a streetracer and are going to kill babies soon and should go to jail.

Lol nobody "streetraces" except retards from light to light. It's about who is the fastest on the hill and who can keep up and who gets left behind.

To some people this=streetracing.

I'll guess I'm gonna have to vote against this circlejerk. Fug wheels, hate the wing, hate the color. Kudos on the mechanicals though.

You expect a 2100lb car that is actually tracked with nearly 700hp not to have a functional wing? The one thing I noticed about this car is that it could probably do with a lot more downforce, not less.

I love this exige...I've been collecting images of it through the various phases..

this is what I have

































































there are also some videos on youtube of it driving through the canyons

Here are some pre-widebody for the collection:









Additionally, if we're talking obscene Lotus, you can't avoid mentioning the Blackwatch Racing Auto-x car, three time SCCA X-prep solo champ. It probably makes half as much power as Frank's car but it also has some mad impressive bespoke fab work:

the newest rear end looks very 458ish

I am with you, I liked it better before he did the widebody and paint, the mechanicals and interior are very cool though

Except it isn't tracked and you can't use that much power in the canyons, he built it so he can brag online about how fast it is and he is a major dick about it too, he has been banned from nearly every forum.
And the car spends as much time in the repair shop as it does on the road

[Shooting Brake]

lingual communication is inadequate

I think Frank's rear clamshell treatment preceded the 458.

I remember thinking about how similar the two were once the 458 was released.

Anyone else get a bunch of porn ads when clicking on these to maximize them or is it just me?

[euromaxituning]

meh

[RacerrRex]

The car's been around for a while, but yeah it's insane. It's hard to imagine how much money it would take to duplicate.

Lol seriously, im pretty sure i recall seeing videos of that thing years ago

Edit: Yeah, heres cardomain posting a video of this car in 2009

It was actually in the banner ad.

[Tuneman7]

I really like the interior appointments and the shifter layout but the exterior just isn't my thing... I cringe a lot of the time when I see an Exige or Elise done up like this with masses of power as the original balance of the car was geared towards handling. I can't help but think that having that much power in a car that weighs a bit over 2K lbs on such a short wheelbase makes it a white knuckle ride through the corners.

Not the same car, but still cool!

Most of my project is a copy of the work Frank (aka Ronin) has done on his Exige. Frank (and others on MM, like CharlieX) is willing to freely provide insight to fellow enthusiasts, I admire that. Frank has posted very good information on Seloc, it can be found here: http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=152945

I did. Apple + W as soon as I saw "The Netflix of PORN!"

[Peloton25]

I haven't followed much of his online antics, but Frank is funny to listen to. Definitely not the person who you might expect to see driving this car - at least it caught me by surprise.

The car is nothing short of amazing.

As I watch this video.. I came when I heard the supercharger, and then came when I heard the turbo spool behind it and then came again when I heard the BOV off the turbo..

[freedomperiod]

Wow! Talk about fun to drive!!!!!

[freedomgli]

I am a huge fan of racing while there were no armcos, safety tanks, seatbelts, etc. etc. Jackie Stewart said there was a 2 of 3 chance of dying back then.

While I love old race cars (I used to help a family friend campaign his McLaren M6A) and I watch in amazement of what they did back in the day, I'm much happier today when there isn't a 1 in 3 chance of dying each time you head out onto track.

Driving that car anywhere near its limit on a public road IS dangerous no matter how "good" the driver is or thinks he is. I've driven canyon roads quickly in a car with 1/8th the performance of this Lotus and that was dangerous also. While it's fun to carve up the twisties I know the only place to truly prove your mettle is on the race track. Doing it on the street is just bravado and meaningless bragging rights. Even if the canyon road is 1-way it's still dangerous to extract that much speed on a public road. If you need radios, spotters, the cover of darkness, the isolation of 3am, if cops can arrest you if caught, etc. then it is street racing.

thats a neat motor. makes one wonder though... how much power you really need in a 2000lb car that you want to go around corners in.

wild stuff

True, I could live with weak motor in my CRX Si

Cars that can do 0-60 in 2 seconds have a hall pass to have loud styling.

Hp to weight ratio is incredible...

I would love to drive this car on the track.
