Forced Fed Elise(can be told by the front fender badges, but some people stay sneaky...the wing, attaches to the unibody through the trunk!! freaking amazing!) Friend of mine has one... 400hp. I'll get pictures next time he brings it out.
hmmm...after looking at the wing...it may not be a forced fed car. But...would be cool if it was.

Didn't realize that bimmer was a TD, thought it was the new TT 300. Which I would have taken a pic if the hood was open. And that lotus was just an Exige. Unless the Exige's are the only that are forced fed. I'll keep an eye out this weekend and ask around about it.
Edit: Didn't read the bimmer's wind shield till just now...
[the Forced Fed] Elise devours the 600-foot slalom with a 73.7-mph speed. For comparison, a Ferrari Enzo runs the cones at 71.0. . .

However...IIRC the Exige is a fixed roof, with a hatch back. and...the states never got them.

We got the Exige, I sat in one at the dealer in Sac. idk about a hatch back. It looks just like an Elise, but it has a wing that comes out throught the body, like you were desribing. That's why I just looked passed that Elise, I thought it was just a typical Exige.

If that's the same guy I saw. he has an awesome white STI. It had a black front mount. Looked really good. He wasn't around his car when I saw it, but I did see him leave, so hopefully I can chat with him next week.
