SR10 start up and walk around video
Today I was at Spring Mountain for the North American Debut of the SR10 and I have to say that this car is amazing! I will give a full write up with pictures soon... but for now here is a short video of the car starting and a walk around.

Very nice. Are there any exterior differences to the XX? I would be very interested to know what kind of reinforcement or beefing up of parts has been done to handle the extra weight and power. Also I heard that rebuild intervals are the same as the 1340?
@azwcat, I will do a full write up soon. But to answer some of your questions... the primary external changes to the body are the larger side pod inlets and the use of the Rapture nose (which is different from the SR8 nose. Also the mirrors are redesigned from the RSX but are the same as the XX. Regarding overhaul intervals the engine is 80 hours.

I tested the SR10 yesterday at Spring Mountain. Granted it was a cold track and 3 laps on an unfamiliar layout. This car is insanely fast!!!! I was in sensory overload for most of the time. Braking points, turn in's, apex's come at you so much faster then the SR3 it was difficult for me to adjust. This is the first time I questioned if my driving ability could keep up with a car. The torque is massive and early. Redline comes very fast and on the straights it just continues to pull. I could not get a good seating position and had difficulty seeing the dash so I could not see my top speed. One if the test drivers saw 155 mph on a short straight away at Spring Mountain. I am pretty sure this car could do much more. I know Radical is targeting track day customers but this is a lot of car for a track day!!!

I believe 6 have already been sold to members at Spring Mountain and Sean mentioned that a couple more would be sold over last weekend.

Will the SR10 be raced in Radical Cup?
Oh, and how fast is an SR10 compared to an F3? Just curious.
According to Sean at Spring Mountain, many rushed their orders for the SR10 to compete in this years Radical Cup so I assume yes. I have never driven an F3 but I was told the SR10 (with a very good driver) was running similar times as this Ligier.
I found this to be a pretty good write up of driving the SR10
@davidf The car is eligible for Radical Cup in the masters class and will be the car of choice to try and win. The SR10 is faster in a fair proper comparison. When comparing the SR8 to F3 America at COTA in the hands of similar driver profile the SR8 is faster, well the SR10 is faster than SR8 which therefor means faster than F3 Americas.
