Yup its unfortunate that Lotus wasn't able to get a Honda motor in the Elise. It would make the Exige about 1 sec quicker to sixty and a lot better torque curve over the gts motor. (k20)

I really doubt it would be able to outrun the copter.

In any case, where'd you get the link? Any more? =)

I dont know if you have press coverage for that kind of stuff in the US. You guys bombed and killed some Canadians that were training in Afghanistan. It was all over the news here.

BBC report

Those guys on Top Speed are arrogant idiots. I can't stand them. Always hating on America. First they mouth off about having to change the engine for "American emissions crap" then hating on the asthetics of the greatest gunship manufactured...of course in America. But of course, the best pilot possible, the British....

We all bag on each other, I'm pretty sure they don't mean anything too serious with it... they know we're good businessmen. American companies do make the majority of the cars they review.

The "A" model will do 150kts which is about 175mph. The longbow featured is a bit slower due to extra drag from the pod above the rotor. You could outrun it in an enzo maybe in a straight line.

friendly kills happen. even in modern war.

yah our press covered it... our press HATES our administration and they hype every foul up.


the kills were hardly intentional, yet to appease everyone the soldiers were tried.


hardly the right place to bring this up. :shakehd:
