im not a racer but..
i was taking a nice slow cruise to watford to pick my GF up when i see a white car come steaming up behind me, anyway first time i have seen one of these on the road, i really do like these, looked really good, so at the traffic lights he came up next to me, on green went WELL left him for dead,
Thought these VXR were ment to be fast done this 3 times at 3 different sets of lights, no chance :/
anyway looked really nice and got a Thumbs up from the driver

I was very tempted with one too, after selling the Elise, but it was the whole getting in and out that stopped me. As it was to be a daily driver.

Funny you should say that.
I tested one out a while back & was tempted until I had a reality check & thought about how my back would put up with clambering in & out.
The only VXR I would consider is the 8.
