Hi Mike,
I've had 2 Atoms previously and have a new 4 on order. I use mine both on track and road.
For fast road use I would buy the 1 way adjustable Bilsteins (the cheapest optional suspension) as it will give you a great balance on road, will easily be flexible enough for track use (you must try it on track at least once!) and will be very helpful for you when the time comes to sell the car.
If you have never driven an Atom before, I'd genuinely suggest not going for the 350 kit initially and adding it on your annual service. It won't cost you any more money, will allow you time to see one with the exhaust you're interested in, get feedback from others who have it and make it feel like a new car again in year 2!
If you look on YouTube, Ariel posted a vid last summer with the sports exhaust which will give you an idea of what to expect.
It always comes as a surprise to potential new owners but the Factory are incredibly helpful with information. They never try to sell you upgrades, infact I'd say the opposite. They genuinely will help you spec the car that suits your needs the best.
Cheers,
Stu
