Comparing it to the Clio would mean they are comparing the speed of the cars. Street cars are not about how fast they are on track, they are about the feel and fun. The Clio is in a completely different category. I'm not sure I know of a closer competitor than the Cayman, in its price range nothing else will have as low a center of gravity and engine as far back.
I just got back from
the Dragon, I want to see the FT-86 there and not on the Nurbergring.
