may have done. What you find is the ultima is quicker to 130 and then the porsche just takes off and goes.
So...Are you saying Guy, that a Porker will wipe the floor with an Ultima after 130 then??? 
Have you tangled with one yourself ?
Having not got to the stage where I can hit to Go button yet...that is a bit of a let-down if true?

The terms "a Porker" and "an Ultima" are pretty much meaningless in that context. There are as many different performance levels for Ultimas as there are Ultimas in existance. On the Porsche side there is also a huge range of different performance levels to pick from, even if you are just sticking to the 911.
It would be a brave person in an ultima to take on a full ruf porker- they will win unless you have over 700bhp. The aero kit on the ultima allows them to pull away from around 130 but the ultima will pull off the line quiker. Look at the vmaz times and see Gmans car to the top speed of some of the others

I had a couple of runs off the line with both the 9FF car and the RT12 at VMax. Took them both when it went right, but once around the top bend, and on the power they were gone. Both over 200mph.
How much hp is in that Porsche ruf? I'd assume an Ultima GTR would be slower than a Porsche ruf with the same amount of hp due to higher drag coefficient. What's the Ultima GTR's drag coefficient in comparison to the Porsche 996/997?
Lucky, it's time to swap for a LS7 TT from Jeff, and also get that final gear for 250mph. No Porsche Ruf, can touch you. Aha!

Leon's RT12 is a 3.8 litre 650bhp motor. 219mph top speed.Lucky, it's time to swap for a LS7 TT from Jeff, and also get that final gear for 250mph. No Porsche Ruf, can touch you. Aha!
It is so slippy at speed.
I'd say a proper 650bhp Ult might still fall short of an RT12. on the Vmax events, over 150, our trump drag cards of engine position, tyre width and car weight, are beaten by the RT12's aero package.
Mind you, they are about £200K more!!!
