Great stuff ........... well pleased .......... with both the ace car and also the fact that having seen it yesterday, I actually managed to keep my mouth shut about it/the lid on it for just over 24 hours!

Meantime, the Big R goes from strength to strength

A pretty savvy move, I would think there should be a decent market for this engine setup as a number of people outside of regular Radical circle's are very suspicious of bike engines.

Saying that I have yet to drive a turbocharged car with decent level of throttle response & nice linear power delivery.....

Darren go and have a drive in a GTR they tick those two boxes..

Mind you the very latest ones seem to have come on leaps and bounds; drove the latest 911 Turbo the other day and boy is that impressive.

Notwithstanding, with a starting point of 300bhp (apparently the maximum reasonable step with the SR5's VTEC) empowering 675Kg and the RS's grip, it'd have to be serious fun trying?

I just don't get to move in the exotic circles that you do JP!

As good as all the mags say they are then? Maybe things have moved on since I last drove a petrol turbo car then, may have to get one of those Mclaren MP4-12's on order as I totally lost interest when they announced they were using a twin turbo motor (Yeah right I will!!)
