Budget for track use

[Lunarr]

Hello,

My english is not perfect, sorry for that.



I look these cars for years.
Anyone on this forum could inquire me about the average track cost for an Ultima GTR/Evolution/RS with an LS7 640/700 hp and G50 transmission ?
The cost are similar compared with a Lotus Exige S3 cup 430 ?

And another question :
A factory built model is reliable for an occasionnal track use ( 10 to 15 trackdays per year ) ?

Thanks.

Everything is relative .

Justly, the Ultima is normally a bit lighter than a Lotus Exige S3 ( 950kg dry vs 1 050 kg dry for the Lotus)

What are the weak points of a factory built Ultima Evolution /RS with 700 hp for track use ?

Approximatelvely what are the costs for obtain a relatively reliable trackday car (like a 911 GT3 or like a lotus Exige at least) ?

Not in the same proportion than the GT3 but the chassis of the Ultima has improved too.
The Evo chassis is a lot stiffer than the previous chassis of the Ultima GTR.

Another point is the improvement of the mecanical grip between a 992 and a 996 GT3 result principally of the improvement of the tires and suspensions for 25 years.

I agree that a GT3 is more reliable on track than a standard Ultima.
imho, An Ultima is more comparable to a Lotus Exige Cup.

A 2007 Ultima GTR with 720 hp and 2007 road tires (with much less performance compared to the actual Cup2) lapped the top gear track in 1:12:80.
For now, there are no road car of Porsche that matched this laptime.
