Default 2010 Radical SR3 for sale

Selling my 2010 Radical SR3. This highly optioned car is in very good shape and has been gently driven in non-competitive driving events for the past 4 years. For example, I have the shift light set for 9,300 RPM and the car redlines at 10,500. This car is amazing to drive on the track! The combination of light weight, high downforce, slicks, and no lift paddle shifting causes big smiles that last for days. $46,000. Please check out the full listing in the "For Sale" Section. https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-marketplace/1043251-2010-radical-sr3-for-sale.html#post14730895P

Thanks. Have you had a chance to get yours out on the track yet? Maybe one of your friends should pick mine up so you have someone to challenge

Great, Have fun! I am looking forward to hear how it goes. Looking into my crystal ball I foresee a post something like.... "Wow what an amazing experience! This car is magic...where ever you point it goes. I can't believe how easy the car is to drive fast. The paddle shifting, downforce, crazy grip, and intense G's turning and breaking caused a permanent smile that I have not been able to get off of my face for days. The first day out I beat my personal best lap time by 10 seconds."

I decided to go for an early retirement so I am focusing on other things... like travel, golf, etc.. I also purchased an R8 Spyder for a street toy.

Charley, pls educate a noob about Radicals...
Could a good Porsche race shop/mechanic also take care of a Radical or does it require a specialist?

Have you raced any of the Radical race series and do you have any info about their logistics and the costs of racing a Radical, maybe compared to a SPB? Do most racers arrange for transport with shops and just arrive and drive or do they tow themselves? I'm in the NE.

Can you explore the limit by slightly overshooting and correcting ("straddling" it) in a high-downforce car like you could with a low/no-downforce car?

Thx in advance!

There are many good race shops that can handle Radicals. They are pretty simple to operate so as long as they can handle a car that only has 1.5" of clearance they should be able to handle it. I use my car for track days and don't race it but I have run at some of the race events. A few months ago I was running at Laguna Seca while the Radical cub guys were running. I can say that it is a very friendly group of guys. There was a large variation between the fastest and slowest cars and they openly welcome people of all abilities. I went up to one of the fastest drivers in the cup series and asked him if I could get a copy of his AIM video data to learn from and he happily gave it to me. I don't know what the cost is to run in the series, but I do know that you can bring and operate your own car or you can work with one of the several companies that bring the cars around the country for you and they handle all of the maintenance and preparation for you. They even have great trailers to lounge in between sessions. You can also run the car with SCCA and other organizations.

Regarding exploring the limit's of the cars I am sure Peter or one of the other driving coaches could give you better advice here than I can. But the way I do it is I use Data to evaluate the G's I am pulling in each corner and then I use that information to recalibrate my brain to what the car is capable of (vs a non downforce car). It takes a little while to recalibrate your brain but the process is really fun and exciting. And yes you can slightly overshoot and correct, but using the data helps you know when you are getting close to the edge.

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. Radicals are one of the best bang for the buck cars around (along with Spec Miatas ). Once you've driven a real race car, it's had to go back to a production based car.
If I weren't in the final stages of a two-year new house build, we' be talking.

Thx much! I don't see any "Halo head restraint" (as listed in the FS ad) on the pics. Is there any side-protection (halo) for the head? And I'm assuming the seats/belts are HANS-compatible? Has the car been in any accidents/crashes?

There are 6 people that I have been showing interest in the car. One dropped out and two seem to be close to making decisions.

These cars are awesome but do take a little bit of dedication, good ones tend to sell fast if reasonably priced. I've seen some sit for a year or two before selling after many price reductions though.

I don’t always have the halo on the car. Here is a picture that you can zoom into and see it. Yes the seat belts are HANS compatible. No the car hasn’t been in any accidents.

let me know if you have any additional questions.
