Just confirmed my order for an SR10 with Anthony Ward at Radical Northwest in Sonoma, CA. I have never driven a Radical so it is somewhat interesting that I have enough confidence in what my friends have told me so as to take the big 'plunge'. I have had numerous fast cars but nothing quite like the Radical. My home track is Laguna Seca. I usually run with many different HPDE sponsors. I ordered the quiet exhaust so I could pass sound at even the most restrictive 90db days. The big items that convinced me to go with the Radical (besides the car itself) was the track support, to and from transport to the track, ongoing maintenance, availability of spares and monthly storage. All were reasonably priced. I have also been told that the running costs are also quite reasonable. I look forward to actively participating on the forum.
Welcome Phil (@sr10formetoo) and congratulations on the new car! That is definitely a bold move jumping directly to an SR10 but I know you are going to really enjoy the car. They are amazing! When is your expected delivery date? I am looking forward to seeing pictures when the car arrives.
Thank you Charley! I was told late Sept to early Oct. Will definitely post pics and track vids.
Welcome Phil. I'm new myself. Great choice on the SR10! You only live once to get what you want, right?
Phil,
Congrats, I'm sure many of us on here are jelly. Myself included. Most haven't had a chance to see the car much less drive it yet so let us know what your impressions are when you finally have a chance to drive it.
I was one of the lucky ones and did a test drive. It's certainly a great car, Radical may have really hit it out of the park with this one. I'm patiently waiting to see what the maintenance intervals and costs are going to be.
