Congrats on the Radical. I have a lot of friends running them in the UK. Great fun.
Sad to hear about your Porsche experience. I'll be at Sebring for the April event running my 996gt3. Hope to see you there.

Thank you
It has been pretty frustrating dealing with Porsche over the last 10 months, even more frustrating seeing all the used RS on the market 100K over MSRP. I think P did an amazing exploiting the simple rule of "supply and demand", but I think they may have over done it and it's starting to backfire on them. I'm not the only guy that could not get a RS so decided to go else where. I was ready to write a 200K check to P, but instead I gave that money to another company. .....O well...I think it might have been a blessing in disguise for me


I'm still waiting to hear back from Radical on the exact delivery date of my car, I hope to see you there.

Awesome, I'm jealous!! I wish I had the time to fly over there right now. There's a good chance one of those new builds is mine, its suppose to ship early to mid March. RXC Merllin Blue.


The "special One" any particular reason? .....besides it looks like a carbon body!!


Are you thinking about getting one? Any other pictures???


Thanks

488 is a great car. It really all depends on what you are looking to do with it, weekend car no track, then F cars are perfect. Weekend/daily track beater then porsche is the only way to go. I decided to skip the street/track and go full track, my true passion.

If your looking for the ultimate track weapon radical is one of the best..IMO

Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, the RXC is the most wicked street-legal race car I have ever seen.

congrats and the R8, love those things!

porsche could have sold 4-5k RS's this year with no problem, I guess they have too much money.....Owell, now we're all going elsewhere

Just a quick update on my new toy Here's a few pictures of my car packed up and ready to be put on a cargo plane. It's been a wild last 3 months, I went from RS obsession to RXC owner, a total 180 turn. At this point I'm very happy with my decision and think at the end of the day it was the best decision. I'm taking delivery of her this Friday (4-1) at Sebring and doing the shakedown Saturday and Sunday. (Chin) If any Renlisters are there please stop by and say hi
