S2 Exige S / Cup - What are they like? Fun road / track car

[five50]

Pls forgive the relatively uninformed subject matter.
Looking for a second car for track work that might also do some fun weekend road use now and again.
Interested in any thoughts.
One specific qn - checking out YouTube clips, the s/c engine sounds incredibly harsh when extended. Maybe the noise doesn't record and play back that well - is it so bad in reality, does it detract from the experience??
