Note: As promised in a month or so I'll provide an update on what it's been costing to run the Radical as an alternative to a street car for HPDE-type activities. I've now done ~300 laps in it so a decent amount of track work for two months of ownership.


You mean, it's all about power to weight ratio...

not completely. my Radical compared to my RS is a dog on the straights at Road Atlanta. 134 vs 156+. RS above 100 is still pulling like a freight train while the SR3 feels like a rope is tied to it. It’s a momentum car. It’s not slow but it’s not fast either. On a different day , same dyno my 11hour SR3 made 156whp. At RA it’s about trusting the grip for high apex mph
