I want to get a ultima as my first car that i will have ever bought i figured i might as go all out. Can the ultima be able to allow a big person drive it im kinda big @ 6 foot and 350 pounds so im kinda big, but i am going to change a lot of the interior etc around when i get the cash to get a gtr. have any of you tried putting a paddle shift transaxle in your car? and as build time would this car be a descent build for a first time kit car builder. o and right now i do have some exp in doing work on cars cause my dad bought a 72' nova that needed a lot of work and were gonna turn it into a pro street drag car so i can do some descent work.

you may say its for girls but i live in socal and am in traffic every day going and coming from school. now if i lived in a non high traffic area shure i would go all out and get a manual tranny and have some fun but i dont. Most racing vehicles today have paddle shifters such as some rolex cars, indy, f1, some rally, i said most not all. if theirs room in the car i think some nice recaro seats are in order biggrin .

Don't fun of my speling biggrin . As for exhaust i will be running dual high flow cats to help cut down on emissions. yes i will probably have a 10 inch sub and some nice speakers. As for driving in traffic it varys some days its bad some days its smooth driving. An just cause i live in a high traffic area doesnt mean i cant take the ultima out for some fun driving or take it to the california speedway to do some laps.

the nova is still in the restoration stage right now but i have the engine parts just need to put it together its a 383 smbc puts out 500 horse. im still deciding on what i want to do when i get the money to start buying the ultima, but right now i think i have the engine narrowed down to a 427 smbc world warhawk motor with arao heads and maybe a kinsler air intake if i can find a descent priced one lol. as for the sub i am still deciding but this is the sub i would like to put in the car but i dont believe their is enough room to fit in the ultima: http://www.audiopulse.com/products/subwoofer-drive... . speakers i was thinking about either focal or mb quart.as far as horsepower i want 650+.

It will be first car i buy not drive. i currently drive a 02 yukon, 88 suburban, 05 avalanche, and am working on a 72' nova. An since it will be a while before i will buy the car and be able to drive it when i do place my order that leaves more than enough time for me to lose my weight just think of it as a goal to work forward to lol. I mean what is the best goal than on of the fastes most bad A$$ cars that ever hit the road at a user friendly price biggrin

naw i want to put some dymag's on the ride. i would rather have the car as a 2 seater so the f1 idea wont work to well. An since i want to put a automatic transmission in the car any way their would be more room due to the fact their wont be any need for the shifter in the middle as on a manual tranny car.

any one know who makes a center locking system for the gtr? When i do get to buy my car i would really like some center locking dymags like the ones on the Koenigsegg. Main reason is looks but as well as no one would be able to steal the wheels due to the face its a large nut they have to take off biggrin . I was also thinking about putting audio/video equipment, steats, etc... as special screws ie star head, same reason as the wheels cant steal what you cant get lose. Also the steering wheel will be quick release
Also just for safe measure i will also install a removable kill switch between the battery and the starter so when i leave teh car all the electronics will work but with out the key back in and switched to on you cant start the car. Some say im a bit paranoied biggrin . An one last thing what do you think about paiting the gtr in lava orange like the Koenigsegg

Eh why lose a lift when already have a dyno and a engine dyno going to go in the grg along with a machine shop and some cnc machines. I plan on maybe doing some wok out of my grg as a small time buisness with my brother. So all in all after a while the grg will pay for its self lol.

eh always a hater out their yes i do have dreams and yes i will get a ultima maybe acouple years from now but that doesnt change anything. first off arao heads an dual blower off the lise , second i will only put a single supercharger on it , third i am still on the fence with the cats for cali residents i can just get it liscensed as a emissions free vehicle, fourth the lug nuts on the wheel will be a centerlocking type ie one single large nut instead of 5 small ones, fifth the screws for the av stuff are not special, their just not flathead or philips screws their star heads which will make it harder for them to get stolen if the situation ever arises. the lifts and dyno are something i am going to put in for a house i want to build when i get older ie 50+ years of age so its some time away.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come back when you ARE 50 + hopefully I will be dead, and won't have to read this dribble about "what I am going to do".
your spelling and punctuation keeps me going, and it is clear you are obviously a wet back with dreams. and haven't taken the hint.
it is funny reading the replies though biggrin
So now I'm a wet back i guess it's a normal habit for you to use racial slurs, but I am not hispanic. You want me off the forums then I'm gone, I wouldn't want to build a Ultima knowing that their is a ignorant ass hole named Highflyer driving a ultima. You are the most stuck up ass hole I have ever chatted with.

You are the main reason I believe in and support abortion
