Just got a ride in one! ****ING HELL!!!
Discussion
I haven't been plugged into Ultimas so please bear with me - most of what I have to say will come as no surprise.
I have just got a ride in Guys Thompsons Ultima - and there is not really a great deal to say which doesn't involve swear words.
It is comfortably the fastest car I have ever ever ever been in. I've never experienced that kind of acceleration EVER - the Lamborghini Murcielago was positively SLOW in comparison - the grunt endless - the torque was GENUINELY gut-wrenching - 5th gear at 2000rpm and the car was taking off like a Tuscan in 2nd- I know my cars and I've ridden and driven (and onced owned) some real quick ones..... BUT THIS...... this was the first time in my life where I have felt a little scared.... this car took the PISS.... beyond words really.
Guy never got the chance to really demonstrate it - just far too much traffic everywhere but the performance (and where I felt it - the grip) is in the land of disbelief - and the brakes are........ well I was up against the harness and he was just touching the middle pedal. It's also the most visceral car I've ever been in - forget the radio... the V8 music was so loud...It makes the stock 550 V12 sound like a Silenced hoover.
Those of you getting one (I understand a few of you have got the first stage of the kit) - hat's off to you.... You've got some serious balls.
What an unbelievable car!!! Shocking!!
Guy - you're a total hero - thanks for absolutely making my day... week....month.......
