i build these cars and in my opinion an exige S is an absolute weapon end of. they handle better then anything i can think of and for power to weight against cost you wont find much better. the cup 260 is the daddy of track/road cars. if you want a complete track only car then it has to be a 2 eleven which is the modern version of the lotus seven. they have the same engine as the 260 but with no windscreen roof etc.

you can compare the vx220 to a normal elise and it will win hands down but its clumsy and heavy when comapred to the exige S or cup 260.
