Those MR-Ss look sooo nice in race trim. Like a car that was designed to be a race car, then converted to a street car.

I don't agree with his choices either. If I had that kind of money and had to spend it on cars, I'd be making something like the MR-S pictured above (light, rigid, fast, but controllable) and hiring a great instructor. Course I'd have to move somewhere that actually has a track... not here.

Just three now (lightweight MR, AWD boosted sedan, V12 GT).  Got rid of my old beater a week ago.  Everyone should have a beater that's immune to keys, dents, unknown fluids and is highly reliable and attracts as little attention as possible.  You never know when you have to go somewhere you'd rather not have to go.

There's only 5 cars that could replace my MR-S.  An unknown vaporware Lotus (or future MR2) and these three.  Sadly I'll likely have to wait another 3 years at least for the Alfa I'd want in particular.  I'd really like to go open wheel (or semi-open) before I get grey.  And for the love of god, please don't bring up a Caterham or Ariel Atom.

The Radical eats Caterhams and Atoms for breakfast. The ring lap record for an SR8 LM? 6:48. Zonda R? 6:47. The standard SR8 out lapped a 599XX, and it's street legal, the 599 isn't. There's also a bit of a price difference as well. I'd be curious if a Caparo could catch one of these. Maybe.. if it worked for more than 10 minutes without breaking or catching on fire.
