maybe he was still on his running in period, I think it's 1000miles of not going over 5000rpm

i believe that the exige uses the toyota 190hp vvtli lump? if so then my old man his this lump in his corolla t-sport. isn't the exige close on 900kg? power to weight doesnt really mean anything from 50-120 does it. besides mine is around 950kg

Only the new exige's use the toyota lump - but yes. 190 bhp VVti. The older ones are k-series engines running throttle bodies I believe.

Exige is a shade under 900 kg iirc.

Power to weight doesn't mean everything, no, but it helps a great deal and to be honest your keeping up with it could depend on all sorts of things. Well done for keeping up with it, and I echo what Phill has said thus far - all surprisingly sensible!
