Technically, the most desirable one is the new '09 Exige 260S.
Lighter (by some 50 lbs. thanks to some cf bodywork) with wider wheels and even more power.

If your one of the fifty in the US. correct?
or one could tune the 220 to 265 with a reflash and lose some weight, saving $30k
no warranty though. and not stock of course.

Does the '09 have an intercooler? Didn't they drop the IC for '08?

260 hp! Wow ... Chad's Exige already has pretty explosive power (well compared to our Miata). I can see why it can compete with the Z-06's. Is the '09 Exige going straight to XP?! :D

Randy's car had 230 at the wheels without an intercooler, so I think ASP is just fine for the '09.
