390 HP Juno SS3 @ Homestead chasing 450 HP Radical SR8LM

Nice vid and lovely smooth driving. Who cares what is quicker, there ain't much in it .Could listen to that engine all day!

Wish this was HD, sweet vid.

I'm a little skeptical that aerodynamics alone would be able to overcome a 65hp advantage, especailly since the sr8lm has the same body as a sr4 which was designed for track use. I'm also really impressed with the sr8lm's lap record of 6:48 at nurburgring.

@shishisha11 not aero alone, the Radical still uses an antiquated suspension setup as well.

Nice driving though your turn ins seem a bit soon at times. Were you using the whole width of the track? ;-)

I'd love to drive that car. Seems like fun.

[sccapro7]

you almsot had him on that back straight when he was passing that mini. looks good bro, nice clean line, smooth on the gas, smooth shifting

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

i somewhat doubt the juno would beat the extreme brilliance of the SR8LM. those cars are radicals party peice and really are something else

[pdisme]

Do you even know what you're talking about? At Sebring the Juno already has set a time faster than one of Radical's factory drivers in the LM.

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

yes i do know what im talking about. i work for radical ive seen sr8lm cars defeat the juno hands down on multiple occasions. admitedly never at sebring but at brands hatch, silverstone, spa francorchamps and snetterton. the juno is a brilliant car and im not mocking it. but i know for sure despite the junos aero abilities the sr8 lm is the superior car.

and radicals factory drivers are not the best drivers either, stuart mosely has set times far faster than they have in an sr8 supersport.

Most likely the standard 390 HP V6 Jaguar being compared to the 455 HP SR8LM. Throw the infrequently used 450 HP AER V6 in the Juno instead and the game changes. I believe the rebuilds would still be less expensive than the LM too.

Hi. Never heard of Juno till now - pretty impressive - just been on their website, don't see adding a 450 HP AER V6 engine to the SS3 as an upgrade option, but I guess they still offer it? Don't know about the SS3 in the video beating the SR8LM but what do I know :) Cheers!

[TEQTONYK]

Yeah. Sure. You work for Radical. Enough with the bullshit.

[MoeTheSyco]

fantastic video, I wonder if the other cars were really racing apart from the Radical, I mean if they were going flat out though there specially that corvette, because the acceleration is really mide blowing.

[pdisme]

They were, you have to remember we have nearly double the power to weight ratio and better aero.

[Svensson81]

Awesome man! Thanks a lot for the high res versions of your clips! The Juno looks like such a blast to drive... Have fun with it and keep it in one piece =]

My two biggest problems are one, I don't know how to drive, and two, I've just now, four months later, been able to get new tires from Avon. :-) The ones that are on the car have done two race weekends and four track weekends along with several races by the previous owner, so they are complete garbage at this point and sliding all over the place. I spun the car twice last weekend.  LOL I'll be racing on new tires at Sebring May 17/18!!
