Very very happy overall. The car is well balanced, it inspires confidence, I felt comfortable in it in just one weekend. The caveat is that it needs to be set up right, to your liking, by a shop that knows how to tune suspension. This is why I bought from Esses Racing. I watched them dial in my teammate’s car in one day, based on his feedback. While at the track, they changed springs! Also sway bar settings, damping. Even though I live in California, I bought from Esses in Texas for this reason.

@@venomv1097 Thanks for the reply. I do plan to buy from a good shop as well. I was afraid of the very thing you described, not having the support to set it up. Glad to see the dealer gave track side support. Definitely helps in the idea of purchasing one. Do you like the open seat version more than the closed cockpit style like the RXC, or is it a racing experience/class thing?

@@GenX_Racing the closed cockpit Radicals are more unusual, I don’t know a lot about them. They look interesting and race in the same class as the SR8 and SR10. I went with what I was familiar with, a friend owns an SR3 but I wanted more power 💪🏼

Thanks Judd. I felt good about the carousel, and the next day I was able to stay flat out through turn 2 and past the apex of turn 3. Now if I can just fit all the puzzle pieces together on the same lap, haha.

there's absolutely nothing on the track that would hint a blown engine.

@@Aeneas137 yes there is

The gt2 rs beat it on the laguna seca and road Atlanta as well

Snakebitten yes he was very surprised, as I was. He drove all out when I was his passenger and drove very well. I would assume he did the same with Rich Willhoff as his passenger. Rich is a two time Optima champion. The takeaway to me is that the ACR will likely win at tracks without really long high speed straights. For places like the Ring, the GT2 RS will win due to to its higher HP, better gearing, and bite exiting corners. Loved the PDK in the Porsche. It’d be fun to repeat the race with fresh tires on the Porsche to know for sure. We tracked three different sessions together, once with my girlfriend as co pilot, and I was faster than the Porsche each time.

Thanks for the info V. Always wanted to know how the snake stacked up against this beast from Porsche on normal tracks. Much respect for Johannes for actually racing you. Two of my fav cars on the same track with proper driving mods in both👍

@@snakebitten6967 Johannes isn't racing in this video. He is giving charity rides. Anyway, so much fun to watch to excellent drivers in two excellent cars!

xtn's youtube yes not an official race, but we were up on the wheel having a great time

@@venomv1097 Oh no doubt! Bombing around with a buddy or two that are very close to your own skill level is my favorite thing ever. Taking turns leading/following, learning from each others' lines, etc. Best part of any day, period.

vin russo slower than a bone stock 720S on Corsa tires on an open track day ;) within 3 laps of the driver ever sitting in that car

no, that is never a problem when you drive at the limit.. the limit is always changing,and the driver should easily be able to stay under it. this was not a tire issue , this was an over control issue and poorly timed input problem. sad to see, because those walls at that speed does a car in for good. this is why skill development is far more important than performance . go slower, test the car over and over again before you push it past your capabilities.

I disagree. there's no reason for that car to steer left right at that moment when the track is going to the right. and there was no reason to brake. that car was doing fine until that moment and there looked like something glossy on the track IMO.
