Its called Stealth for a reason!! lol
Its MKs offering for RGB 2013. I believe Danny will be show casing it on the track at Donny this weekend. MK did actually put out a prototype out
last year at Mallory at the last race of the season in RGB (i know as i was following it!). I think the car has been tweeked since to make it more
competitive.

Does any one have any other pictures of the HSR? I think that looks nice as well.

Stealth is a beast, move over Radical! Will be interesting to see how Danny gets on this year.
Plenty of HSR photo's on the website: http://www.mksportscars.com/hsr-gallery.html

I was wondering if they had got the shut line any better, and how the body was mounted? Do you now how many have been sold/built? are there any build
diary's?

I'll be there doing the photography for Danny @ MK of his Stealth, and for Andy Bates @ AB of this Sabre G2...
Can't wait to see and hear them!

Not too sure to be honest. Don't think numbers are high but you're best off speaking to Danny at MK directly on that one!

Indeed! £35/40K for an entry level Radical or £20K for a turnkey from MK, hmm. I know what I'd go for!

Depends if you want a professionally developed racing car backed up by a professional customer service... or just something that (kind-of) looks fast
and is backed up with a raggedy-arsed customer service!
Personally, I would skip both and buy an AB Performance Sabre. It's professionally developed, Andy is helpful above-and-beyond the call of
duty, and the car is reasonably priced.

I'd wait till the MK beats a radical before making any negative comments on the Radical TBH.

As far as I know the only RGB car to take on the Radicals in 2012 (and beat them all in a bikesports race) was Tim Gray's Spire GT3 at
Anglesea

RGB Class R will be incredibly tough in 2013. The current cars are far too well developed to expect success year 1, the Stealth will be doing really
well if it gets a top three all year.
Nice to see another make out in rgb R, fingers crossed the weather improves for Donington on Saturday

If the predicted snow arrives class R will probably be won by a Blitz buggy!

Think i would second that! In fact, if the snow does arrive, i think they would have to cancel. Depends how heavy though of course. Normal wet
conditions......fine. Laying snow.....hmmmmm. Just glad i have chosen to sit this weekends race out and spectate instead ;-)

I'm not saying anything negative about Radical, those boys set the lap record around the Nurburgring for a reason! Merely stating that as a
locost option, which is why we're here in the first place, the Stealth is a new offering to the market that is of course a much more affordable
alternative to the less affluent type like myself.
Danny's racing with a GSXR1000 this year so I can't see him taking on any Radicals just yet! Looking forward to getting to a race though
to see how it performs and competes against the rest in the class.

I'm sorry but with MK's history of appalling customer service I wouldn't be spending 2k let alone 20k with them even if they win
every race until they buck their ideas up.

This is a chat-forum... conversations develop!
The talk turned to the purchase of a Stealth... MK's customer service therefore became fair game!

So you think it's acceptable the way they treat their customers, and are happy to accept that because they're releasing a shiny new
model??
I think in a small industry such as this reputation and service is everything, people building cars will need help and additional parts, Mk seem to
struggle with this part. I like their products but I feel the money invested in the Stealth would have been better spent on sorting out the structure
of the way they do business.

Just a quick question that I haven't understood.
If it is in RGB isn't that "road going bike engined".
To be road going it would have to be capable of passing IVA.
The front lights look lower than the required 500mm? This isn't the only competing car that looks to have this issue.
Can anyone explain for me?
