The gauntlet has been thrown down; to beat the factories 9.9
Discussion
, but I'd rather see that Silver TT GTR (with 960 bhp) one going down the 1/4 mile...
Hey Wayne
I might come and join you at the Pod! The Procharged Can-Am 650 will soon be on the road. After the winter testing and fitting of my secret weapon it should be quite a close match.

Isn't the factory times include 10.3, 9.8 and 9.4. But I have seen other sites list the second 0-100mph-0 record as 9.9 secs. It can't be right as the Ultima Sports Website clearly states 9.8.
Wayne, I wish you best of luck in beating the factory record times. I would like to see a GTR cracking the 8 second mark though.

True, but this is not about records, just who has the faster car, it's just a bit of fun
Ok, so shouldn't you be aiming for 0-340kmh in 18secs then?
that car is on sale in the classifieds....962hp

... and the only difference between it and the GTR is every mechanical part of the car has been liberally doused with my own blood, sweat and tears.
Surely in that case, it's more of a GTC than a GTW?

With regards to my measly wee 650bhp compared to the mighty 720bhp of the factory record holder (for now in any case), I can only hope to be a little more polished behind the wheel than Richard or perhaps have slightly less of a head wind on the day to stand a chance but I am an optimist, and feel that the GTW will prevail.
Good luck to you Wayne. Though, given that Richard has literally been 'brought up' in Ultimas, that's a brave statement!
Look forward to seeing how you get on
May be around to take up the gauntlet with you. May bring the other GTW (GT White) with it's 535 standard and the I am Dreaming twin turbos and NOS working at an undisclosed figure. Let us know when and will be there as support. Will even be the tea boy for the momentus event, being a young pup an all.

As we all know, in this life you get what you pay for and the fact that I have paid for this project, and boy have I PAID!, I feel fully justified in calling it a GTW. As I have said before, I would like to have built the car myself but upon reflection accept that I would not have ended up with something as modified as this. Also, Clive is not the only person to work on the car and not being able to decide on CTC, GTS, GTDa, GTP etc., GTW was the right option.
I hear what you are saying about Richard being bought up in Ultimas but that will not make the demonstrator a faster car will it.
