R500 or Atom
For me, these two are the ultimate in small track-biased cars.
But which one would you go for!?
I think it would have to be the R500 for me...

R500 for me all day long, although I would be very tempted by the Radical SR3 SL

Whichever one you buy Scootz, I'll buy it off you in 6 months time for half its cost.

You are all wrong, its the Atom...
I do not like the way they look but technology has moved along.... got to move with the times I,m afraid.

That's a really tricky decision - I am totally with you on this.
When I had a chance on one of those supercar days to pick one to have a blast in, I chose the Atom - whilst it was really really quick (obviously) the
driving position was very uncomfortable for me. I don't know if that could have been changed but on that basis for me it would be the R500

Neither, it would have to be a Radical SR4 
but if you forced me to have one, i'd go for the Atom

Caterham for road and a bit of track, Atom for track and a bit of road.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Surely a lot depends on the driver, and / or what he was doing at the time you passed him?
I'll bet you could pass me if I was driving a Red Bull F1 car cos I'm a pants track driver!

the caparo that blew up was a prototype, the car you buy seems ok.
but wouldnt want one as a track car anyway, too much money if i crash it, and no fun if you just stick to the ground.
i would say the v8 atom but take the down force off
