Similar to other recent posts, making the transition from tracking GT3/GT3 RS to a Radical:
SR3 RSX w/ the 1340 cc motor
LHD w/ passenger seat
Paddle shift
Fuel cell
Intrax suspension
AIM system
etc.
No plans at the moment to race it, just to use it at AMP instead of tracking a GT car. Last year I stored a GT3 RS at the track and used it exclusively for that purpose. It wasn't insured or registered for road use. Upon reflection at the end of the season it just didn't make sense to have a $200K plus car for that purpose. One encounter with the tire wall in the RS would likely pay for most of a Radical!
As you'll see from the pics the car is nearly ready for shipment. Hopefully arrives in the States in less than a week.
Very excited to make this move. I'll miss the turnkey nature of the RS but I think the rewards of the Radical will make the extra hassle worth it.
Nice! Been there, have the T-shirt.
Once you have experienced cornering downforce G's you will be spoiled for anything else, including tracking Porsche.
Great cars, tons of fun and relatively low cash burn compared to tracking big heavy GT cars.
Smart move. This PAG allocation and adm nonsense has me thinking of bailing and of going backwards to a classic ride and saying good bye to the rat race and money burn to have the latest and greatest.
I couldn't agree more. I don't see going 150 mph without full safety gear.
I have a gt3 on the way but my 944 LS3 conversion is what will see the track.
Im building a 2009 Z06 , 2900 expected weight with the LS7 600 hp
Full cage fire system 6 point harness.
It's less stressful driving a full race prepped car.

I think it makes sense because I have always considered the GT cars primarily street cars suitable for frequent track duty. They are not race cars. GT stil stands for Gran Turismo. Like the color scheme. Financial argument also makes a lot sense. Cool car!

OT: Another Defection
