Ok, I don't own an Ultima GTR yet, but plan on ordering the parts later this Spring or early Summer time. Is the Ultima GTR an easy car to drive given the extreme performance? Is this a car I would have to work up to...the most powerful car I ever drove before this only had 240 horsepower.

Yes all you have to remember is that the go Pedal has to be Squeezed, and definatly not hit. Treat it with the respect and once you master that then the smiles are hard to wipe off

Mine is easier to driver (now even in the wet ) than my Ford cosworth with 360bhp even though the Ultima is nearly 300bhp per ton more powerful!

It's not all about driver skill but more about restaint. It is not a car for someone who only knows two throttle positions.

The car provides enormous amounts of feedback and you just need to learn to feel what the car is doing and drive acordingly.

If you are worried what I would advise is to phsically restrict the car to only half throttle for the first 1000miles, this will bed the car and the driver in, and the performance will still blow your mind.
