Jalopnik test drives an Exocet in the USA;
"The Exocet is so light and has such a sensitive throttle that it always wants to go. I was taking off from every stoplight like a bat out of hell. Not because I wanted to, there was just no other way to drive it. Drivers in a Ford Focus and a Land Cruiser gave me strange looks as I flew past them, screeching tires and all. Everyone looked at me and wondered if I had somehow confused a normal road for a racetrack"
AND
"And after about 50-100 hours of work (depending on your experience level), voila, you have the best toy an auto enthusiast could have"

"It’s called the Exocet, and like the missile it shares a name with, it hauls ass and destroys some shit"

Road and Track magazine, I think they liked Exocet!
"Ridiculous, screamy acceleration. The car is light enough to make a standard Miata seem dipped in marshmallow. The tires yell at you through the wheel or the seat whenever the car is sliding, the steering getting light or your spine talking to the rear sidewalls. When the car goes sideways—usually under power—you just ride it out, more throttle. It is concentrated essence of Miata, and if that essence could be distilled into a powder, the car would be badgering you to snort the stuff, like a drug"
