Don't ask my old 350i did it for the Clarksons Christmas DVD a couple of years ago - they didn't like us hanging back then blasting up to the bigger Wedges Oh yes then there was all this smoke..........!!!

I like the Ultima web site for the info they put up. 0-100-0 is good as well.



If TVR had never existed...........

What is remarkable about the vid if you watch it is the fact that it hits a ton in 2nd. If you watch the 0-100-0 vid it only uses 1st & 2nd

Now then, how much equity have I got in the house perhaps we need an extention

God, I love those cars! - Just played the first record lap with the speakers up loud A guy brought one of these along to a Pistonheads meet in the summer - awesome piece of kit.

I note from the engine supplier's website that you can get an 850 bhp dyno'ed engine.

I wonder what a wedge lap time would be with one of those installed? Brake upgrade anyone?

Emailed the factory,they said....

Yes for 0-100mph-0 we simply started off in 2nd gear then moved into 3rd.For top gear we started off in 1st gear. Only makes a tenth or so of a second difference anyhow and 1st gear is great for city traffic which we use the car for a lot.

If my numbers came up I'd be up there ordering & speccing my new car the next day

Well, I would buy one already made order one up from the factory. To go with the new garage that comes with a house attached for sleeping and the mrs to store the shoes. Then join FOE and attend meeting in one. Car, not the house.

Ultima project anyone?

If only someone would buy my X5...

[matt-man]

thats so sad...what a shame to see an ultima in that state...

i remember that one being built when me and dad were building his...

the new ones are so quick, when we built ours, 5.7 ltr 350 bhp was loads in a 980 car, now its just standard! NUTS!!!

Its so quick to drive, i dont think i could hold much more on the road!!!

[adam quantrill]

So - the ultima time has been beat!
