Which street-legal lightweight sports car is your favorite?

Ariel Atom 300bhp for 1003.2lbs...0-60 in 2.9 seconds


Lotus Exige S 0-60 time of only 4.1 seconds. 2057 LBs


Noble M400 425bhp 2376 LBs 60mph in 3.7seconds


Radical SR3 1091.3 lbs


You might be thinking...well duh the SR3 or Ariel Atom, but the truth is that you probably will not get as much practicality...so thats why i pick the Exige.

IMO, these cars are extremely expensive for what they offer, and two of them aren't even practicle. I would go with the Mazda MX-5 first even though it's not on the list; but from the list I would go with the Ariel Atom.

Re: Which street-legal lightweight sports car is your favorite?

Out of all these "toys" I would like to drive the Ariel Atom. It just seem to offer something that the other cars can't offer with is insane acceleration and freedom. It's like a Go-cart.
