Report from the club race.
The jag is decent, but not quite up there with the best.
Nothing beats a well setup and upgraded Scaleuto Radical at our club (yes several have tried NSR Moslers and they have all fallen by the by).
I had this setup like my radicals, with a flat 6 22.5k motor, used the stock guide as its a nice wood one, stock gearing as it was around how I run the Radicals.
I removed the stock interior for a lightweight one and added some chassis weight.
I gave it to our fasted driver, who can achieve mid 8's with a good car (most of the ret of us are low to mid 9s territory).
He could get it down to 9.4, a respectable enough time, but as Brian mentioned, it can be tail happy when pushed.
Some of that is down to fresh rubber (a few race evenings and intervening oiling's are usually required to bring tyres up to speed at our track).
The rear overhang won't be helping, but to be honest the body is pretty svelte without the interior, so I don't think that's the whole issue.
It is rather shorter guide to rear axle compared to the Radicals, which I feel is its major disadvantage, but if it approached the Radical wheelbase it would be way off scale.
So my search for a Radical beater at club level continues ...
