Ultimate Track Day Car

[Scottie]

What would you say is the ultimate track day car that also can be ran on the roads but you can't choose the Mini;)

[Big Gordy]

JP500 Westfield or Atom would do me:D or a 998 Ducati :p:D:approve:

[ianking]

Lotus elise

[Big Col]

Yup, Westfield, Caterham or an Atom. Also I'd more say an Exige than an Elise. ;)

Ahem, ahem . . . didn't she say ultimate track day car that can be used on the roads? Radicals are, believe it or not totally road legal. ;):approve:

Yeah thats probably because he has removed it from the car for the track day so know one can get his reg details ;):p:p


I'm with GAJ on this one, has to be the radical or even better a
911 RS:p

[euan]

I think I'd be too scared of the 911RS! For all the work they have done on the car, I think for a track car the engine is in the wrong place.

Radical for me, or perhaps the Jonathan Palmer thing JP1, I think they made a very small number of road legal cars. Perhaps a Westie. at least they can seat two people ;)

For a track car though, I bet I'd have as much of a laugh in a 500 quid Mk1 MR2 with bald tyres....

[monkimagic]

The Z Cars Mini would be my 1st choice :D:D

Watch it fly, 0-60 in 2.83Secs :D:D

They say it corners well, its more or less an Go-Cart

[Mini Martyn]

for me it would have to be Noble M12 GTO!! :D:D

[The Dogfather]

On reflection I think I'd go for a VXR Monaro :D

Saw another one of those in Dundee at the weekend.. very nice, but it looks a wee bit simple. Almost thought it was a Lotus Elise from a distance, till I realised it was WAYY too big :D

[AeroJonny]

My mate's exige would be tempting!
