Yes the 7 is a wonderful fun car, I had mine 12+ years and it went from a standard 1.6 K series to 1.8 R400+. It has to be said it's as useful as a chocolate fire guard as transport for the road, but it was always life affirming on every drive. On track it's a weapon, but it can become a bit of an arms race if you let it. You are somewhat exposed yes, but you do get used to it and I always felt that was even a good thing on the road, as there's no hiding if you do something stupid!
