    Smile Hey Zak...

    Is there anyway of telling the turbo'd VX220 apart from the normal version?. Guy up the road from me (who does the motoring section for a local paper) has a bright yellow, and i mean bright yellow!!!, one parked on his driveway at the moment (had a VW Tuareg last week) and i was wondering if it was a turbo or not...

    side intake (drivers side) has a horrible plastic scoop aded on Turbo.

    Turbo also has a little boot spoiler....on the lip.....quite unnessasary...

    and when he goes up the road it'll wallow about

    Too soft

    The VX is better than an Elise for 90 % of life......but its not as PURE.

    It has a lower stressed bigger engine and is a lovely daily car that HAPPENS to be amazing.

    The Elise is 100% commitment.

    But the VXTurbo is not as nice...faster yes....but softer

    Made to be softer so its harder for noobs to kill them selves in it.....thats my best guess...

    it is SO FAST that most Elise owners would die of shock

    A standard vx is about £22k the turbo comes in at around £25k iirc

    it'd be interesting to fit a suspension kit from the 2.2 standard vx to the turbo though...........

    Source an old Calibra Turbo engine, give it to Courtney, and you'll have a cheaper, quicker VXT.

    You got that easy 15 large, Zakky boy?
