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 **** them up so that they can spend more and get more outlandish.

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.

Anyways, I'll take the GTR with a twin turbo LS something with around 1000whp.

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

Small world.
Sorry, they only do high-end cars.
This car was supposedly getting a Ford GT powertrain. Ack. I would prefer Toyota power, too. Like the 3UR-FE or the 2UR-GSE with TT.
