After looking through your site at some of your exemplary machinery i am ready to ask probably the most asked question on here,how much for a kit to build your own Ultima.
Thanks in advance.

Hope you find what your looking for...its a realy special car! I was there a little while ago on the open day this year, and saw those lovely monsters at Hinkley... I stil don't own one yet but am very busy with them, I realy want to own one too, Í've had many many cars! but now I want a real "monster"that feels scarry in the right way, and looks good to! and then the noise it makes...brrr and the grunt...and ofcorse 0-100mile/hour in 5.5sec! thats 0 to 160km/u for me in 5.5sec but then you have to have te 640hp but its very fast in almost anny engine variant.
Its like a Le-mans car for the road....and track

You are looking at about £48K. Perhaps £40K if you already have a complete ready to run engine.

Second or third mortgage.

Before you get tooooo excited, I don't think anyone has ever tried to fit a LT5 into an Ultima. Some measurements would definitaly be in order before very much else was planned. Cool engine though!

LT5? I looked it up thats the engine from a 1990-1995 corvette ZR1 with about 405hp and 4v per cill looks great, but don't know anny about reliabillitie? and I think those engine's are more difficult to get...
A "normal" LS6 from the Z06(old one) also does 405hp, and is newer, so maybe some better??
