If I won the lottery tomorrow, I wouldn't go and buy a stupid Ferrari,
I’d begin with a black Ultima GTR and add...

Body
• keep fiberglass front and rear body panels

• 7 bulb hid projectors (like infinity Q45)
• hid fogs
• hid rear fogs
• laser jammer- front and rear
• radar detector sensors built into body
• extremely high cfm fans in engine compartment powered by high amperes alternator - suck air out from underneath car and into engine compartment - create low pressure under car, sucking it to the ground
• high cfm fans out rear to remove engine heat
• computer controlled variable angle carbon fiber rear wing to create maximum downforce under breaking and cornering, but reduce downforce (and drag) in straight-line acceleration
• 2 Lucite sunroof panels built into top of doors - Lucite sunroof panel in between ( latched and removable )
• windows on doors are latched in and can be taken out
• air conditioned side bays - keep beer/sandwiches cold
• 360 degree digital video camera at highest point on car - syncs up with lap data; has motion detector image capture to take pictures of people ogling the car when it is parked

Interior
• radio proximity key that will unlock and turn on the car if you're within 5 feet of it and will turn off and relock the car as you leave

• McIntosh speakers in dash and on wall behind passengers
• dual sub woofers in front
• heads up infrared display projected on windshield

On the Dash
• lights switches, infra red heads up display on/off
• heating and air conditioning controls
• on wheel - paddle shifters, selector for fully automatic shifts, neutral button, reverse button, rev LEDs along top of wheel, hands free phone buttons
• tachometer
• speedometer
• break balance selector
• suspension stiffness and ride height
• all wheel drive diff selector knob - 0% to 60% max front torque
• tire pressure gauges
• engine computer - monitors oil pressure, temp etc and only displays something when there is a problem
• engine boost gauge and control
• engine start button
• exhaust bypass switch
• mp3 cd deck with satellite radio
• GPS Screen
• CB radio
• police scanner
• removable palm pilot tungsten with IBM microdrive that records engine parameters, speeds, gear, cornering g's and syncs it up with gps data to create lap data graphs; includes wifi to check e-mail, surf web, or e-mail out lap results; hooked up to 360 camera on roof and will sync video with lap data

Poor old tuckshop...maybe we should put his story on the FAQ to remind some of these newbies...and veterans alike.
Cheers!

What happened to Turk? Did he built the ultimate ultima?

[thejini]

// what do you prefer, XBox or PlayStation 2?

off topic, but playstation 2 all the way.

Ok, I'll bite:
Who/what is Truckshop and what is the story? I have looked through the archives and not seen any listing of topics or authors by that name.

Thanks (I hope),

Dave

Do a search for Tuckshop on the Ultima forum.
Tuckshop had some unique ideas on what an Ultima specification should be. You will not have seen him post for many months as his car was a total loss 2 weeks after SVA.

He was a young man with a Wok or two loose......

Basically he built an Ultima with around 400bhp, putting things like subwoofers in the rear bulkhead (using woks to disipate the heat!)... and then took his girlfriend out for her maiden voyage and never returned......

Both ended up in hospital when he span on a junction and got T boned..... Its actually extremelly sad and we didn't laugh much at the time.

Not an Ideal first car to drive, you need to have got the early boy racer out of you before owning an Ult.

Did we mention... it was also appently his FIRST car

Just finished a search for "Truckshop". Finished my cuppa coffee, /CLICK, reading for comprehension 'ON'/ re-searched for _TUCKshop_, found it. (Interesting thread under "t_R_uckshop", some good points, some bad points, but well stated all around, once the Pi$$ing contest filter is turned on. I can see why it was closed.)

When I mentioned that I have looked for those posts in the archives, I meant to say that I have read 90% of the archives here (royal pain, having to go back one-page-at-a-time, for FIFTY-plus PAGES!! How about a jump-to function, eh?) Have now bookmarked the relevant pages for future use.


Thanks,

And three weeks after passing his driving test.

WOW!! That decision to have an Ultima as your first car AND as the first car you will drive after passing your driving test sure is open to some Monday Morning Quarterbacking. (Insert appropriate Rugby term for examining the weekends' matches, after the fact)
Do any of you have the pictures of his car saved? The links in the old posts do not work.

Thanks,

Dave

Why not build the whole car out of titanium while you're at it? Alot of those specs (if not most) are a waste of money. Seems like you'd be doing it just to have the most expensive and hitech car out there, not for the enjoyment you'd get from driving it.

[PiB]

Yes thee air bag suspension is a bit much...as well as...well he shows a great deal of Ingenium.

I'm still watching this forum. Any word on Stealth B6's? Are they still being built occasionally? There was that one for sale by a fellow PH'er in the US that was raced. I have been really interested in reading a German review of a high spec verson tested but havn't found it on the internet.

In board suspension...
Hewland Tranny action

"Did we mention... it was also appently his FIRST car"

I don't think it's any different than getting your first motorbike. So this guy was around 17 with an Ultima? I thought I'd get it at 19 but looks like 21 for me.

Since we're on the subject of ultimate Ultima cars... I like the style of the GTR. Therefore, my ultimate Ultima GTR would have the following:

- Lightweight body from the factory

- Chevy v8 sbc engine lighten to 130-150Kgs, aspirated pumping out 650 bhp. Don't know the torque, have to do the math... Rev up to 8500 rpm red line.

- Kevlar carbon fibre floor pans and panels.

- Carbon fibre interior.

- Carbon fibre dash steering wheel, control everything from it. Probably from Motec

- 16 x 13 rear, and 16 x 11 front Magnesium wheels

- Street legal DOT slicks

- kevlar carbon fibre seats from Reverie

- Larger rear wing, and wing plate made from kevlar carbon fibre, painted the same color as the body metallic mid-night blue.

- titanium springs

- 6 speed clutchless Zeroshift gearbox

That's about it. I can't think of anymore...

[d3vine]

Forgot to add the brakes...

I'll go with Lambs 12.5 inch carbon fibre rotors and titanium brake calipers.

what about glow in the dark furry dice, oh... and a coffee machine.
