You're crazy. Ultima > GT IMO.. Once again, I would dump Casey Anthony in a creek with duct tape for a Koenigseggisseggggnignigsegigisegggg..... :drool: |
I visited the Ultima Sports factory in Leicester before the GTR came out.

The guy with the Ferrari already had a Lambo that was TTd by them and was hating how slow the Ferrari felt. I saw one of their customers blow the tailhousing out of the tranny on a Viper TT at the dragstrip in Bradenton because he was wheelhopping on street rubber. Some of them probably park theirs in a showroom but most of them seem to try to fuck them up so that they can spend more and get more outlandish.

My next non DD car will have to be one of those kit cars. |

Yeah, I guess I can see that. The fundamental stance is similar.
To me, it evokes more of a Noble / Ford GT / Koenigseggisseggggnignigsegigisegggg sort of image. The Ultima just seems like it's trying too hard. The bubble canopy and outlandish front fenders just say "Batmobile" to me. Funny you say that about the GTM because the Ultima GTR was designed by Lee Noble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Noble Anyways, I'll take the GTR with a twin turbo LS something with around 1000whp. |

I like the interior of the FF GTM EXCEPT for the crappy autometer gauges. Autozone special! Barf.
With the Ultima, you're stuck with that Prius-inspired center cluster and World-War-2-aircraft-cockpit styling no matter what. Is this more to your liking? http://image.kitcarmag.com/f/9769352...acing_gtm+.jpg

As they say in investment infomercials, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. |

Sick welding!

This makes my pants tight. Love the welds and the cars said welds are on. +1 for the factory 5

I know of at least one Ultima with a Miata gauge cluster in it :)

I personally like the one with the Toyota 1UZ-FE and twin turbos. |

You can put whatever gauges you want in the GTM dash.

I like the R33/R34 and all, but they're not even remotely worth what they sell for. |
