A Radical. I talked to an owner of an SR8LM at my last trackday, he told me the car was pretty cheap to run mainly due to the low weight. I don't remember the exact figures, but his brake pads and tires lasted a loooong time. As in: multiple trackday seasons (!!) for the pads. And the tires are relatively small, which keeps cost down as well. Of course the SR8LM is the top of the line Radical, but the base model can be had used for 370Z money... Oh, yeah, I did get to ride along for a 20 minute session, in one word: Insane! What a machine, cornering and braking are out of this world. Acceleration as well of course, but that's to be expected with over 460hp. But I assume that an SR3 will offer the same cornering and braking thrills with slightly less maniacal acceleration at a more doable purchase price.

Yeah! The SR3 RS looks like an amazing ride with the right blend of performance and track reliability. Then there's the temptation of the street legal SR3 SL that is just a hair slower but powered by a Ford Ecoboost, which would be cheap to rebuild and maintain.

Both are going to be on my list as long-term (2 years out) replacements for the Z.
