I think there is only one obvious choice, there is only so much you can do with FWD modding it might make a difference but two trackdays later and you will be looking for another change.
That just doesnt happen with RWD, just playing around with tyre pressure had more effect on my Exige than any mod done to the CTR. The learning curve is huge and very rewarding when you start to get used to the car.

I think some car training and another year at least hopefully with a variety of track done and I reckon I might start thinking about modding but at the moment I still have loads to learn as standard.

As for option 3, forget it. You know fine well once you get into trackdays thats you hooked for life :D

Having driven a few on the road before I got mine, none really grabbed me hugely in the give you a kick up the arse sense until I drove Ed's and the 2nd cam kicked in and its hard to get a proper feel for cornering abilities on the road.

Like I said it took me a couple of trackdays to stop driving it like a CTR and start to really push it on the corners. You cant do that on the road, at least not on your first outing in a new car.
