Caterham Seven R400 VS Westfield Megabusa

Which one is your preferred rebadged Lotus 7? I chose these 2 as their Power 2 Weight Ratio is similar (Westfeild 420, Caterham 400).

blah-blah and add 2 turbos to the Z100 and - the point is ??

Actually the Z100 is about at the limit of grip and adhesion for a car that light that can also go round corners, so you'd not make a BIG difference.

Originally I was going to vote for the MegaBusa, but then I observed the Tiger Z100 - needless to say, "OTHER" got my vote

I'd have an R500 myself... 0-60 in ~3.5 secs I think. About as minimalist as it gets without taking the bodywork off.
