The latest 4C seems to have to all IMO a real sports car. Light weight with enough hp IMO just enough to make it fun but not mind blowing fun. The 991 is completely the opposite.

Paddle and double clutch only. Pretty darn good too.

Still think you'd love one though......

Hang in there Gary. The Mini is always impressive.
My wife did a bit of a flip flop and a race car may not be off the table.

Radical!

Whichever way I go, thanks for your valuable input.)

If you are looking into Radical, the choice is endless. But to find happy medium, I would recommend Exocet. Exocet is very much like Aerial Atom at a fraction of the cost. but you do need to have it built by someone and need donor miata tho.

Just had a chance to grab a ride on TMP cayuga. Even though it wasnt dialed in, it was stupid fast.

Nice, keep us posted.
Would love to know how it stands up against the 991 or GT4 for lap times. What's it top out speed on the back straight at CTMP

but do get some more suited tire on it first.

Would have loved to but I wasn’t certain how this would unfold. I won’t be attending this year.

The car is thrilling and I’m hoping to share it with everyone in the next few months.

Thanks again for all your valuable input.

Yes Sir. The car will be going to SpeedStar upon delivery for an alignment and projection on mods etc. The 4C forum is clear on the need for that.

The next bit will be getting it out to our favourite playground and seeing how it goes. The car has a top speed of 252 kph but that’s not far below my 911 on that straight.

Lemons to lemonade. Thanks everyone for your valuable input!
