If you're looking for a real exotic on a budget, and don't want to go with a used Ferrari, go with a Lotus Evora S instead. It draws endless stares, makes valet guys who normally park 458s all day stop and take photos with it, handles better than any 360, 430, or 458, is as fast as a 430 on the straights, and can be…
