is it possible to just let a thread take it's natural course w/o heavy censoring?

Personally I think the "I like Turtles" post I made was completely relevant to the OP's interests.

I think we can all agree the gt3 is a superior car, but i wouldn't be surprised for pure fun and enjoyment and handling the Exige could be a good rival and maybe even better.

The gt3 is and all around better car more money and time and been spent to make it a perfect daily driver and one of the best cars you could ever take on track, but from what I've seen most people with exiges use there cars purely for track days and weekend fun and i think thats what the OP was trying to say.

You can't deny that the Exige is a well balanced fun and exciting car, and seems louts has really refined it in the areas where it already excelled at,

But quite possibly "somewhat" logical.

Scary.

Actually the Hennessey Venom GT is a over priced kit car

Tim,
Thank you for the great write up. I enjoyed reading it!

Those who buy an Exige S will think it's a better car than a GT3.

Those who buy a GT3, won't even think about an Exige S.

Those who buy an Exige S will be certain it's better than a GT3.

Get a racing bike and no one can touch you. My back hurts enough getting out of my GT3 with Euro seats. Lotus, sure..I'll get back to you.
