wait a sec, the caterham has 260hp and weighs around 400kg, the lotus weighs around 700kg and only has 240hp? why is there a comparison again? LOL (yes I know they're in the same class but obviously the caterham would win)
30 different traction control settings and a launch control that requires you to turn the engine off, why put nonsense like that in an Exige, it's not a german car for crying out loud. Don't stuff it with stupid high tech just for the sake of stuffing it with stupid high tech. The Exige is build to be a simple, basic drivers car, not a technological statement, so scrap the traction and launch control.
The exige is a better all-rounder, but i think that as a sunday drive fun car the caterham will be more fun, but i would probably rather own an exige.
male owners of the lotos exige s have a sore arce, week rists and struggle swallowing not because of the car but because they is bent as f.u.c..k its a good way to come out
they should of made a pink version for you faires

no sir i like a cunt while you puffs love cock and a shitty pastic car. Its cheaper to go toys are us they sell barbies there aswel so you'll feel right at home
You can't spell or string a sentence together properly. All this hate is because you're skint and can't afford a Lotus, I bet you haven't even got a car you just masturbate over supercars on youtube you'll never own because you're too illiterate to get a proper job. Never mind, if you save your Toys R Us check salary for long enough maybe one day you can get a Saxo..
blooyel your good you got all that from my comments who am a taking to Mistic Meg.
i also have the same gift. Your a man with excelent spelling, whos misserable and feels trapped in a straight relationship every night hoping that his mrs would grow a knob, and cracks one off to Brokeback Mountain.
good luck telling her but if you have this car she probably already knows
@neuspeed79; honestly, I like the styling of the 7 better than the Lotus. It's almost a sleeper-type deal. It doesn't look fast but I really like that. Looks like a brick but goes like hell!
@neuspeed79 I dont think "compromising style" is correct. I love the way the Caterham looks - probably more than the Lotus. Different strokes for different folks.
The exige weights more than the caterham, has less power and was only 2 seconds slower, and you can be sure wayy more economical. Put 260 Hp to the Lotus, and bye bye, caterham....
Traction control????? WTF? Who is gonna buy an Exige and actually turn on traction control? Lotus is all about minimalism, yet adds something nobody is EVER gonna turn on. Please tell me the switch is labeled "douche".
You know, this really isn't a good comparison. The Caterham is over 300 KG lighter (~660+ pounds!!) than the Exige and has a 600 cc larger and more powerful engine, yet it only manages 2.3 secs faster. More power plus 700 lbs lighter and only 2.3 s faster?? COME AWN. The Exige is a much better car. End of discussion.
I agree with the first part but not the last part i mean for raw driveing exitment the caterham 7 is the better car the exige is great but it just doesnt come close i think it would be a better comparison test if they compared the caterham 7 to a lotus 2-11 instead of the lotus exige s.
get real. faster is faster. To answer your question, the 2.3 seconds is cause she is at her limits, not the Caterham's. Ive always been a fan of the Exige and all, but give credit where credit is do.
2.3 seconds is a country mile on a track as short as anglesey!!having driven an exige and an r500 i can say that the caterham is a far better car at what it is designed for,the exige is too soft for the track in standard form and lotus has wussed out by fitting a supercharger to try and make it better on the road!
i think the exige actually won because who wants a car that pretty much falls apart while ur driving it the caterham 7 is a piece of shit that has a pretty strong engine but it;s nothing compared to the exige / the exige wins hands down
will be too peaky and kick out the back end in corners. SC is way more linear and gives you the torque down low that you need because the 2ZZGE has NO torque below 4000 rpm. how do i know, i have it in my celica :)
that launch control is a bad idea. It cant be good for the engine belting it to the redline on start up. Plus If its used from cold you'll soon enough have an expensive engine rebuild on your hands
Kind of ironic that the Caterham is based on an old Lotus car design (Lotus 7). Between the two I'd have the exige as it's a bit less extreme in it's track-intended design.
It would be SO funny to see you bashed to bits by her
she is a racing instructor at silverstone.. yes, the grand prix track, she raced with david coulthard, she is racing since she was 12, her father was a racer too
The fact that you teach, raced with someone, and have been doing it since 12 years old, doesn't mean that she doesn't suck or that shows her experience driving.
The way she takes corners and drives pretty much shows why she retired from racing.

Poor Caterham. Bogging it down with a top, which ended up flapping in the wind. Probably lost some seconds.
And IMO the Caterham looks better than the lotus.
