Hi all,

For about £30k I can buy an duratec r400 SV or a 2005 ish CSR260.

Is there much difference between the cars, besides the obvious dash and inboard suspension etc.

Which would be the better car for some road driving and a few trackdays a year?

Is the 260 good for trackdays ?

Thanks

Ok thanks, so what makes it a better car for the road, but how does it compare on Track ?

Is it more torque from the engine or just a combination of things ?

Any CSR owners on here ?

Thanks for all the input guys.

I originally set out to look for an R400 SV, but they seem to be very hard to find at the moment. Probably the wrong time of year to be a Caterham buyer !

The CSR is starting to make more sense to me for a track car, so I think i will go down that route.

Is there much difference betweent the running costs for the CSR and the R400, consumables and servicing ?

Thanks, maybe we should have a party smile

I hate to think how many hours of my life I have wasted on here over the past 10 years !
