The price is a bit high but what can you really compare it to? I suppose the Cayman S comes to mind, and the CS did win at least one comparo I read.
Been doing my research and there is no quick-and-dirty extra boost to be had yet. Lotus changes a few things on their higher-output race-only Exiges. As you can imagine though, many owners are dying to turn up the boost. If you want monster power out of the box many folks recommend buying a NA version and adding a custom FI set-up. Price looks to be similar (or even less if you buy used).
So... how much would it cost to transplant a K20 motor into an Exige?

The difference is the cayman S is a real car. If you want a race car get a race car because this aint it. I don't really understand the elise. I have driven one. It's a fun car, but as a DD, no way. As a race car, no way.
For certain though... as an Auto-X car... 150%.

those of you who never drove the exige would never understand what the exige is about, it's a go kart on the road with the full ferrari experience of "attention" as a bonus. The cayman is nothing even close to it.
I daily drove my "base" exige 10,000 miles in 6 month and loved every minute of it.
