iaz, you would have to have the geo reset after getting 888's anyway.

well you would 'have' to but its down to how you want it to feel.

if you have lots of negative camber on the front to stop the understeer with standard wheels, the same camber settings for 888's would be too much.

i dont think you can get R888s in the right size for the standard 17s......which would mean swapping to 16s, so new Geo time

The VX for me please. Its a bit of a rarer site on the roads these days. Not keen on the rear diffuser tho.

VX uses the lotus chassis does it not?

Can't really compare those two cars, age difference, if someone said, you can have either of these cars, i would take the lotus, only because its worth more, then sell it

I thought the Exige was a crashed/repaired one too though?

Difficult call that one though, I always wanted an Exige S, but they are just too track focused for my liking....and lets face it, when you are actually sat in one you may aswell be sat in a VX.

im sure if you knew how hard iaz/his mum have worked to have the cars they have, you wouldnt be posting that tbh.

Fair play mate both lovely cars, i might be goin against the grain but i stil prefer the vx look over the exige, i also thing th exige looks to aggressive and for the shear different in price the vx wins everytime
