From experience the best track car is the car you can throw in to a corner as fast as you can without worrying about the costs if you were hit a wall.

I’d take the Caterham hands down, every time. No car I’ve ever driven comes even close the the visceral buzz, purity, joy and fun than a quick 7. The 911 is lardy & insulated from the elements. Sadly, people’s obsession with the brand image compels people through fragile ego to choose the porky Porker. If you don’t believe me about just what a natural high a quick 7 conveys, then drive one. Leave your prejudices & ego behind. Dare you. Caterham; there is NO substitute.

Two of my dream cars - I have one (a non-supercharged 7 CSR with 255hp) but no way I could afford that Porsche without a divorce lol

my csr260 has a previous owner who bought a 997 GT3 after i picked up the car. I, however, would never give the CSR away again! It is much more raw and exclusive than a Porsche. This feeling on the road is indescribable and no Porsche can ever deliver. And as a naturally aspirated car, it is even more beguiling than the 50hp stronger supercharged 620 without independent suspension. I realy love the induction noise of the high compression and cam tunig.

All Porches are good but only 2 of the Caterham 7's are... the lower powered ones are woefully under powered and will get left behind on track by most things. 620R is a savage beast though and makes up for the lack of aero with power 😂😂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

Give me the 4.0 GT3 for the street and the go kart for the track and we're good! Only thing missing is the convertable top that IS in place in my 02 986 S 3.2 liter. Midnight Metallic blue, IPD Plenum, throttle body upgraded, Fabspeed exhaust, Numeric 6 speed shifter dream machaine ! 😄

Owner of a fleet of drivers car here. I own a 3.8RS and I do have to agree, it is one of the most tactile and amazing driving experience with my NSX-R. No need to get a 4.0, they are much more fragile, engine issues, gearbox issues, and the difference is only carbon front fender and rose jointed rear arms. Fitted both to my 3.8RS and there is virtually no differences. Those cars are fragile ( cambolt issues, clutch plates failures, pulley damper failure, clutch starter and starters issues, glued coolant lines and plastic shifter cables ), i had them all and probably it is one of the least reliable car i have ever own but once you are on it they are amazing. ( except the gearbox which is shit, only upgrade is 996cup cables and 996 cup shifter to improve things ).

Regardless of the Caterham chassis, you should never have a crash in one! Where there is no crumple zone, no forces are dissipated. You have to drive with a clear head if you want to drive fast. Many reviewers have no idea and don't even know whether they are moving an SV or not, which is why hardly any channel gives this additional information. For me, the SV is always worthwhile. Rough enough, but with the extra space.

In my opinion, and experience,the R500 N/A Drives much better than the 620r supercharged, at any track, it's lighter, more nimble, too speed is the same, o to 60 is the same, it was only 5 sec quicker at the Ring, And some tracks it's slower, Normally aspirated can't be beaten,
