As with all these types of cars condition, specification of build and upkeep (servicing/bills etc) are paramount.
For some people engine type SBC v's LS will make a difference.
Earlier GTR's have a little more headroom as the roll cage is tighter to the bodywork but only marginally.

I currently own the car & due to lack of use over the past 2 years have taken the very difficult decision that it is time to allow someone else the HUGE pleasure of owning the vehicle, as it needs to be driven more than the couple of hundred miles a year I have done recently. As outlined in the advert the car is in excellent condition & is VERY FAST! In my opinion, given that a kit from the factory to a similar spec would set you back £50k+ and in addition the man hours to build it is worth the asking price. If you are serious about Ultima ownership I would suggest viewing the car, as in my opinion it will sell quickly once viewed.

Sale is being carried out through Adrian at ADW who have an excellent reputation and with dealer facilities and can offer prospective purchasers the opportunity to fully inspect in their workshop and are happy to offer part exchange and funding options.

Cheers
Simon

Good luck with the hunt for a car. You will probably have to consider an Ultima Sport, these will still scare the s*** out of you.

I use to own a 1954 ford sit up and beg popular prostreet with 586 hp blown small block which ran 10.2 seconds and hated corners would take a bit to scare me after that!

Try that sort of performance with your bum about 5" from the road.

Passengers tend to have that worried laugh when you floor the throttle and when you don't brake for a corner!!!!
