Best trackday car

[CTE]

I took my Exige V6 roadster on a trackday last night, and I have to say I was very surprised. On the road it is very responsive, firm riding, and all in all loads of fun. On the track however I was a little disappointed...it was nowhere near as precise or had the grip levels I`d expected. On the road you can`t shake it, but on the track it was quite easy to slide around (although understeer was its initial trait, and lots of it)...maybe due to the hot weather there was too much rubber on the track (and I am running standard basic Corsa tyres)? The other disappointment was just how soft it felt. This is the roadster version not the cup or anything. I do also have a race car in which I compete so I understand about road set up and track set up, but I was surprised just how "soft" it was...I was still the quickest round the track, but it could have been so much more...
So, is the original Elise still the best trackcar, or are the newer Cup cars or 211/311 the best and how do they feel, or am I better off simply modifying my car to a proper track set up...I know the preferred set up will be too harsh for the road, but maybe a compromise can be had with adjustable dampers and stiff springs?
All a bit daft in a way but would be interested in what you think...and I know we are all different.

Thanks for your thoughts...its more knowing that the cars characteristics can be altered to suit, rather than going away thinking "that`s it"...and maybe I`ll have to get a Cayman or something...£$%^&!!! ha ha. Ultimately maybe something much lighter is the way forward for me but I do love lots of things about the Exige...mine is tweaked to 390hp and it certainly flies down the straights...just needs to be sharper round the corners which sounds like it could be with a few tweaks.

I am lucky enough to have a well set up S1 road car and I race an S1 in the Elise trophy series and I am a consistent top 10 finisher...normally 7th or 8th, unless I have other issues, which I have so far this year, so that is why I am a little confused...the S1`s are so much fun, but conversely I do like the blood and guts of the V6. Ideally I want to combine the lightweight delicate balance of the S1 with the grunt and some more of the V6 Exige. Do the 211/311 achieve this or are they too compromised in other ways. Maybe a Honda S1 is the best compromise...mind I used to have an S2 and I really liked that...someways it was better than the S1.

Thanks for all your thoughts...must admit the 2-11 does appeal because it is a lighter better balanced package than the 3-11, although no doubt modern electronics and power oversteer can compensate. My limited time racing with the S1 has taught me, and it was the purpose of starting with an S1, all about balance (still learning mind you) and corner speed...which is everything. Are supercharged 2-11`s reliable or do they much gearboxes (3rd/4th)?
