I think it really depends on the intention and context. The F-Type is far rarer than the 911, so in car club events where most 911's are "exotic", then the F-Type would be also. There's a facility near me called the "Carolina Exotic Car Club", and they use this looser definition of "exotic" for their events. In that context, it really just means something like "special/rare sports car", i.e. not a 5.0L Mustang. Rare is, like exotic, a term that means different things in different contexts. The F-Type is rare compared to most Mustangs, but not compared to Bugatti. If the event classifies "exotic" like Ford GT, Ferrari/Lamborghini, Acura NSX, Aston Martin, Lotus, etc., then most versions of the F-Type fall below that threshold. The F-Type is on the threshold, so the context matters more. A Project 7 is undoubtedly exotic, but most F-Types live in a gray area. I will say that the F-Type draws more attention than a base 911 and this pulls it closer to the "exotic" category, but again the definitions of all of these are loose and context makes the difference.

 

Put it this way - if it's the kind of snooty crowd that turns you away for showing up in an F-Type, you don't want to associate with them anyway. If it's a group of people who genuinely enjoys car culture and doesn't just see it as some kind of marker of social status, I am sure you will be welcome.

 

and this social phenomenon occurs with many objects that we own... cars, wood boats (the CC crowd can be vicious), airplanes..

 

Was the VW thing exotic?
