Sorry folks, but I just don't get this thread. The OP has an Ariel Atom as a dedicated track car, but now wants to replace it with steet-legal supercar as a DD grocery-grabber? Are you kidding us?
Where do you plan to do all of this "incredible acceleration" with your DD? Not behind me on the highway, I hope. I test tweaks of my dedicated Porsche racecar in our extremely long private driveway, but then I stand on the brakes before I hit the main road. It only really gets to spread its wings at the track.

When the road is clear and conditions permit, I frequently drive my 997 btw 80-100 mph on public highways. As you know, the car is perfectly safe drving at such a rate. Moreover, I'd much rather see a Porsche traveling at high speed than some of the idiots I see breaking the sound barrier in SUVs, pick ups and minivans.
I don't understand YOUR post. Did you really purchase your Porsche to drive 55 mph? If so, that says a lot about you.
I bought mine to drive!

I don't think a Porsche is going to satisfy your speed demon desires. Test drive a Corvette ZO6 or ZR1 or the new Dodge Viper and then test drive a Porsche to see if you agree.

I owned a Corvette for about 3 months and hated it.
The Corvette felt way too big and bulky and I never felt that special feeling, feeling as one with the car, that I get from the Atom and my Boxster.
