I assume everyone here has a subscription, but if not, grab the February issue. In addition to road test of the Exige and the 10cyl 'M' cars, there's a great section on lightweights. Street legal (?).
Rocket: 815lbs 143hp Atom: 1200lbs 210hp Radical: 1100lbs 275hp Understandably, all will embarass any 'super car'. What a hoot. For a weekend driver I would rather have the Radical than any of those 3500lb plus exotics. Or maybe a really hot 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Attached image(s) |

I dream of a street licenced Radical but didn't think it was possible. Even as a kit car it would have to pass an inspection and would fail on several issues - headlight height for one, and another is bodywork lower than bottom of wheels. I'd sure love to have one of the new v8 Radicals. I'd drive it everywhere. I'm serious. If anyone says it's impractical I say it would be "a lazy man's motorcycle". I know the price of a Radical and Atom. Anyone know how much $ for a Rocket? -Ben M. |
