johnnyknox Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Wonder when that will be on the show then It would seem that Top Gear won't have it on the show...not sure why, they should be proud of that thing...it's British! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've been told the Ultima is amazing on the track but rubbish as a road car. Too much like a race car. Still very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's probably all Clarkson cos he hates British cars for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 its because they view the car as a posh kit car and not a full production car like a noble, atom, radical etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 in a head to head race with a Ferrari Enzo, the 720bhp GTR would lap it every 12 laps. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:B9WvuM_GF0Vx7M:http://volokh.com/files/jim-Stansmilinghappy-small.jpg Holy sh*t dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 it can do o-60 in 2.7 seconds it can do 0-100 in 5.8 seconds it can do o-100-0 in 9.8 seconds these figures are better than a ferrari enzo and Mclaren f1 They were first built by lee noble [mk1] ford v6 engine now they have chevrolet v8 engines with a porche gearbox.

Daston Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 yep they are awesome, went up to their open day this year (planning on building one at some point) was a great day, there was one with a 700bhp twin turbo engine as well as a massive bottle of nos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 yep, they do have a pressence on the road. I see them all the time as they are built about a mile away from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I have never been impressed with them, although this one looks rapid. I have seen a few on at various trackdays but they didnt seem that quick. I guess it depends on the build as I think there are lots of engine options.

I guess it depends on the build as I think there are lots of engine options. yep like any kit car really they are all built with small blocks but then you could have a LS7 engine in the back or a little 190bhp engine in there. Alfa V6 TTs are common as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markie Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 They are only 60K I think. And thats even built for you! 40K to build yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
