Equal drivers I don't think there would be much contest, no disrespect to the S.

I just noticed the S on the end our your S2000 Nick 
That would be close.
I'd still take the one which was meant for the task. I'm not sure a turbo or s/c S would solve Rich's dilemma though.

I decided to borrow Lotus' inconography there!
Honestly, if Rich misses the TVR grunt (who wouldn't?) but wants a reliable, yerp-cruiser that will be fun on the track for less than 30K, those are the only two options. Even then, both are a bit marginal as yerp cruisers.
But yes; point taken. I know: Exige for tracks, Evora for yerp. The bank manager can lay down and weep, the silly c unt.

Put the same tires on the S2000 as you get on the Exige S and pick a high speed track and the S2000 would do well, that would be an interesting race, stock for stock exige S all the way.

Rog - that's a lot of car for 8k, I remember tailing you about five years ago somewhere near fleet after a pub meet 
although that was probably Maca, who built it.
The beast is good past 150, as the odd TVR has found out
Not that I have any other than a purely theoretical basis for saying so ...
