Nice choice on the wheels!

Is the Exige S supercharged?

My everyday car was a Genesis Coupe and when my brother bought his black FR-S I falled in love with the FR-S because it remember me my 94 Mazda RX-7 I used to have before my Lotus Exige.

So I traded my genesis coupe for the FR-S.

In fact, at this moment I can tell you I appreciate my FR-S as much as the Lotus.

The FR-S is not a powerful car but still very fun to drive and confortable. The FR-S is absolutely nice to look at it with all the curves and the lines in the body. It is a very modern car that look like a 50K car for the half of this price.

When I'm in need of more power I drive my Lotus during the week-end.

No, no... I wadded it up coming through an S-turn on a particularly cold day in Texas. I had Advan AD08's on there and forgot to let them heat cycle to-temp before hitting the road.

I plowed through the best-constructed wooden fence in the world. Every single panel on the car was demolished except for the driver's door. Unfortunately, it was one of the few times that I had a passenger in the car. He ended up with a concussion. He's fine now, though. He's my partner in crime and just purchased a Whiteout FR-S.

Haven daily-driven that car for about a year, I am amazed at how much the BRZ drives like the Elise. Well-planted but not overbearingly heavy-feeling. A little more power would put us in the same power-to-weight band and then I bet it'd get even more familiar!
