I thought we all liked them :?
I like them too. Doesn't mean I'm blind to their foibles/inadequacies for certain purposes.
'You want something about 800kg - Lotus, Caterham, Ariel, etc... it's also got a wheelbase of 2625mm, or 103.3 inches, compared to less than 95 inches for any of the usual trackday favourites.' you should be comparing them with other saloon cars of the era in their class or at least in the same park. Otherwise you'll end up with an impractical modern predictable kit car/track toy which is not what a P6 will ever be :| Lose all the foibles and you've lost the whole thing IMO.
Is this one too dull for track days?

You can make them do what you want but it should still resemble a P6 for me to some level
Fair enough! Same response for our Greek correspondent - he makes several damn good points.
P. S. Regarding the Bygone Autos P6 video, which I've seen before - it's like Ken Block and his Gymkana videos. Amazing for the first couple of minutes - but it then becomes tediously predictable and showoffish. I'd much rather watch a lap of, say, Sabine Schmitz in the Nurburgring Ring Taxi, stringing together a decent lap, getting her lines and entry speeds and braking points right AND showing off a little.
