ridden in two...one turbo, one not. They are amazing. I will undoubtedly own one at some point.

I was at Fontana and there were about 6 of them there, one Turbo and the rest 1.3l and 1.5l, great car as they're two seaters so you can scare someone. Handle great, they top out at around 148-151 mph I think as I passed several in my TT at Fontana back in June on the straight. The new SR4 is the hot ticket now!

"Trackday Car of the Year 2003" and the 330bhp turbo version has smashed the Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record.

Check out the video of the run!

Go to radicalwest.com, it's the US importer for the radical.
They are in So Cal and will rent them and do an arrive and drive also..They tow the cars to the local So Cal Tracks and do the support for them too...I think they are about 55-60K new.

The Radical is the best of the breed if you're looking for a track machine.
Ken, it's in British pounds.

I dunno, the Ultima GTR is pretty bad *** too - and you can drive it on the street no problem. They are a little pricey at around 80k unless you build it yourself, but man, nothing can touch it on the street. I'm tempted ...
