Looks awesome....
It's quite a large chunk of metal right behind the driver. I wonder how far forward it would move if he were to hit something head on. Previously..

Still seems to be missing a few pieces... Whistle
What are the silver things where the rear bumper is? I hope they're shock absorbers, but I'm worried they look like fuel tanks. Surely they're not allowed to put them THERE! Shocked

How much Exige is actually left as it looks like the rear end has been rebuilt to a good extent to accomodate the engine and supply enough strength to the rest of the chassis still?

Wonder how much grunt it can put down as well without wheel spin as i bet in the dry it can still spin the tyres up in 3/4 lol Very Happy

I think everything past the rear passenger bulkhead is new to cope with the longitudinal engine and transaxle.

Although it's a light car I'd have thought traction would be better than an M5, with all the weight of the engine+gearbox/axle over the driven wheels. But yes, turn off the traction control and plant your foot and you'll get through a set of rears in no time. Smile
