That's why I didn't get an Elise either I opted for the Evora. Also it's pretty slow compared to my evo X and my Viper and the evo cost less than half the price.

Both the Elise's with Race Mods are awesome once done up. They punch far far above their weight.

 

[3870x2]

Yeah but for the cost of 100k it really isn't worth it. I haven't been able to find a race yet that will return its value.

remember that GT cars reflect their actual real life value, sort of like a blue-book value. This doesn't always directly correlate to how fast or good the car is.

Then again, you already know this

Personally, I liked the way it drove, but only drove it in arcade mode.

I've no doubt that the elise is good but I think the evora may be slightly better hence why I chose it. I haven't unlocked the Exige yet which is faster than both.

Well yeah I kinda figured that it might be a decent car or there may be a few races where it is electric only but so far it's really just a showpiece in my garage. I just hate how I spent the rest of my money on performance upgrades and I won't even use it

There is no Exige in GT5

 

[3870x2]

An Exige S at half the horsepower is faster on any track than most other cars in the game. I am not sure why they wouldn't have included it.

This can't be !

Pretty sure you need to patch the game to be able to play multiplayer. Why havent you patched yours anyway?

your rite. my ps3 wasnt connected to the net. as soon as i connected, the patch screen came up. got the patch and now im tearing it up on the net!! The Vayrons pwn on the Special Stage Route 7 track. i'm level 14 rite now and the fastest car i have is the Mclaren 12c w/ 815bhp and topping out at 234 mph. i cant keep up with the Vayrons or supped up Vipers,Vettes,and the other super cars.it still a fun game! got myself the Driving Force Pro wheel and in my opinnion, the wheel is a thousand times better then the dual shock 3.btw, the game is glitchy sometimes. i'll be playing online and "poof", i get kicked or the game freezes on me.especially changing from the menu screen. what gives??? i know the servers are jammed but common Sony!! get ur shit together.last nite i hade to disconnect my ps3 from the net just to get it to load!!had to reboot my router and my modem. i hope another patch is in the works cause the game still hase some bugs to be worked out. all in all i love the game and have been playing like a fiend!!

I have a fully upgraded McLaren MP4-12C, I spent 225k on a car and around 200k on upgrades and I want to trade it for a stock Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Reason: I want a 4WD car.
If anyone is interested add me, psn: MustangGT2142

actually I can beat a stock veyron with mclaren

 

[DrPepper]

I could beat a veyron in my kubelwagon.

 

[3870x2]

22HP FTW!!!

The veyron may have a lot of HP, but are heavy. 1500HP cant take you that far if it is in a tractor.

Do an engine swap between the exige S and a veyron, and ASC cant even control your vehicle.

 

[ktr]

I have a fully upgraded and tuned 458, 670-4 SV, and MP4-12c. All 3 cars are the same color, black. It is like a trio of evil.

Couldn't fit that engine into a Exige, and if you could, the thing would be so rear heavy it would never corner. Theres a reason they use tiny little toyota motors, it's because the car is tiny, fastest exige/elise I have heard of is about 500hp, and I can't even imagine trying to drive something like that.

oooooo thats a very nice trio of cars. u must be far in to have the $$ for that. i bought an slr maclaren. cant wait to supe it up. been slowly upgrading my STI '10 as well

 

[Count Shagula]

How about this Lotus Exige??

that wasn't meant to be taken literally.

And yes, it could fit very nicely into an Exige. Not very familiar with drag strips are ya?

I guess the words "into an Exige" are a little off... maybe I should have said onto?

No it wouldn't fit nicely into an Exige. And yes I am familiar with them and making things fit, see my avatar, thats mine and 450hp. An exige comes with a sideways mounted 1.8L. The Veyron is a North/South 16 Cylinder with 4 turbos. You would have to cut the Exige right in half and add another half a car to it's mid section, as the engine is too long to jam is sideways, it would have to be north south, and when you do that you need to have a tranny that also adds to the length.

Think of the Exiges setup as a Front wheel drive car, it's basically a Celica, except flipped backwards so the motors in the back. Think of the Veyron as a VW Phantom except motors i nthe mid, and it's in the mid because its so large with a tranny sticking out the back. Completely different layout.

Anythings possible with a car, of course, but I wouldn't call it an Exige if it doubled in length, as then there is no point, the handling would be gone, the weight would be massive, the looks would be butchered.

Nothing is kidding in the world of automobiles as anything can be done, all I was saying is, it would be pointless as it would wreck the Exige. Where as you had made it sound like it would retain its character while gaining 980hp, when it would in reality be an entirely different car.

Back engine is an Exige S motor, other is the Veyrons, they aren't exact scale, but thats pretty darn close, The Veyron has 30inches more distance between the wheels, thats 2.5ft of extra engine space. Which the door is maybe 30in long, and that motor looks to just about match up with it, which would seem correct.

 

[Wile E]

It would be easy to mount it east west with 2 simple words: Wide Body

 

[Count Shagula]

The car i linked is like an Exige x 1.5 and that only just fits a V8 with charger. I dont really see how a quad turbo W16 could possibly ever fit into a standard Exige without making it slower all round than it currently is.

 

[Wile E]

With an engine that size, as long as it's faster in a straight line, I don't much care.

 

[1Kurgan1]

And what tranny would you use for that? It would have to be from something with a front wheel drive layout, as a Porsche tranny won't work with East/West. And it would have to be some extreme widebody. I still don't see the point in it though as it would wreck the car. You could make as much power with much less engine. I mean if your just going to jam the largest engine you can into the back of an Exige and wreck it's handling and weight, why not just use a Fiero, which would be cheaper and easier.

Doesn't look as good as an Exige. And it would be worth doing, just to do it.

And a G-Force transmission should be up to the task.

 

[1Kurgan1]

The highest HP G-Force looks like it only handles about 600hp. I'm sure theres transmissions out there, but not too streetable. I know the 4t65e can be pushed over 1000whp, but thats an auto. I know the Exige is a good looking car, but with a W-16 in it, doubtful unless you paid someone to do an amazing job with it, and while thats cool, I'd rather build it.

I personally like Fieros, a GT can look extremely good, not Exige good, but very good.

 

[Wile E]

No, Fieros cannot look good. Do you live in a trailer park and have a mullet by chance?
