Please list the prices for the three you mentioned above. Let me help you. The Atom 4 is about 105K with the way I speced mine out. I went with the Rush SR-1 instead.

The KTM is even more than the Atom 4. So now you’re going to compare 100K+ track cars (yes I know the Atom is street legal) to a 35K street car? If we’re gonna play that game why doesn’t everyone just buy a McLaren? After all, it’ll kick the Miata’s ass.

I’m sure the GR Corolla could beat the MX-5 on track or be in about the same league. The GR is a sports car just the same as the Mazda.

I love watching “lesser” cars pass “more superior” cars on track when they’re in capable hands. I’m talking the Miatas, Type R’s, etc. passing the posers in their Caymans, Vettes, etc. Not to poo poo on those that own the latter but the former group tends to attract more driving enthusiasts.
