Too bad the Exige is saddled with the Toyota engine. Good for reliability, but not so good for speed. Everything else says "race car" on this vehicle, so why does it have a cam setup that's best suited for fuel economy? "The Kick" should come onboard much earlier than the last 2000 RPMS. A real performance engine setup would transform this car into a beast.
