Anybody get an RS yet?

If you did, please post some pics!

After some unnecessary US 'logistics' delivery drama, mine finally arrived!

Gotta give kudos to Richard and Team Ultima for carrying on during these trying times and getting this thing delivered. All the good I've ever heard about Ultima was true. Cannot thank them enough! And the car looks insane in person. Absolutely brilliant across the board.

Did you crawl into the cockpit bod panel, put your hands out in front of you, and make small block noises...

Lol. Yes, but I added a supercharger whine to it.

That should go as well as your user name supposedly did

Maybe not that well, but I'm hoping for close.

Got mine July 14th. Coming along a little slower than I'd hoped due to other obligations but so far, so good!

Thanks for this. How many hours do they estimate? Is it frustrating or theraputic...

Hours to completion probably varies greatly depending on the model, options, engine and your skill level. I heard 400 hours somewhere once but that seems fantastically optimistic. If I ever build a second one I could probably cut my time in half.

So far, totally therapeutic. You know that feeling you get when you put a shiny new part on a car? Its kinda like that over and over and over again.

As would I. An EVO Convertible with the new Corvette engine and gearbox if that ever became possible..

Don't give me any ideas.

ooh very nice. Looking forward to seeing them over here with the steering on the proper side... Although the Japanese are getting them first ...

Go on shuffle them up a bit closer - would be fascinated to see a comparison of wheelbase/driveshaft/engine location...

Next chance I get I’ll do that. Side by side the Corvette is the size of a school bus compared to the Ultima.
