Just got a ride in one! ****ING HELL!!!

OK.. I've had enough.. is there anybody in the Stansted airport area that has one of these that I can look at (and hopefully sit in, to see if I fit..)
Looking at the Ultima Sports, how many are currently on the market?

So when are you going for yours PiB?

Hopefully someday at best. It'll be years I'm afraid I'm still too young and poor frankly. I intend to try to take a closer look at some Ultima's in south Florida on the next biz trip down there. I can't fathom 528bhp not being enough, this is clearly an addiction, you would feel sick with my M3's paltry 240bhp.

Slow rather than sick

Its such a shame that your M3 has such little power in the US. Why don't they put the proper engine in with 325+ bhp

Always happy to convert! I live 30 miles from Stansted but there will be a number of Ultimas at the Donnington show on 14th and 15th and the track is open so they will creap out on track.

Bugsy a go with Ted in his new red demonstrator

Well, I have a 96' E36 M3 (old body style) not the new E46 M3 that has 333hp. Although even in my older car you guys in Europe had more power plus 6 speed transmition @ a higher exchange converted sticker price. It has to do with BMW, variable exhaust timing (lack of), and EPA rules. The new M3 has equal hp in all the continents I believe.

Brits and Euro folk are lucky to have such great cars available to them. Higher taxes but more automobile freedom. Better accounting standards too.
