Lotus Elise and Ultima GTR through Blackwall Tunnel, London Tunnel Run April 2010

[tmlmike]

To expand on the point I was trying to make in my first post; Let's face it, England really doesn't produce cars anymore but, of the cars England has concieved such as Rolls Royce, Aston Martin or Jaguar to name a few, there are many that I wouldn't kick out of my garage for leaking oil. British cars have an aura of class about them. Couple that with a juvinile sounding rice burner is just as bad a mix as Ja Rule and Ashanti.

@maracazftw Yes, I've been in a TT V8 Esprit, I've driven an Exige S. Loved the Esprit, wouldn't buy an Exige or Elise ever! I've never been in an Ultima but, I've owned three Corvettes and currently own a '61 vette. I know muscle cars and am extremely familiar with the sounds they produce. Rover engine!!! That's the biggest piece of sh*t engine from MG. These engines are notorius for head gasket failures. Rover engines are so bad that the company has gone bankrupt. No wonder these cars are so

@tmlmike If I can just add, this particular Rover engine'd Elise has covered 110,000 miles+ so far, and is still on its original head gasket.

Must be nice to be rich. Enjoy it while it lasts. In a few years from now we will be eating our fucking family members with the famine that's coming. Us poor people will come find you and eat you...lol...

this is music to my ears

The Lotus actually has a 118bhp Rover engine, and when it's not being drowned out by the big V8 in that Ultima, it sounds and goes pretty well. Look in my videos and watch 'a small car in a small tunnel' and come back to me. (Youtube won't let me post the link here for some reason).

The Lotus has a 130-220 hp 4 cylinder rice burner made by Toyota. The GTR most likely has a LS type engine out of a Corvette. Now, which one do you think sounds like farts? Don't buy british cars with rice burners in them. They're underpowered and sound like crap!

[maracazftw]

@tmlmike Have you ever been in either?

[lethalsub]

I was at the international baked bean eating contest recently, the whole place sounded just like that ultima gtr.

[blahblop123]

[BeetzUrBusPas1]

That Chevy powered Ultima GTR is awesome ., wondering if the Ultima is using the Porsche or Getrag transaxle .

[ps3maracaz]

@BeetzUrBusPas1 Porsche transaxle is the standard

[jonnyego]

@BeetzUrBusPas1

it's a porsche transaxle running through a G50 Porsche Gearbox ;)

[Smokin07ram]

I've nearly DIED once in the Blackwall Tunnel due to pricks like this. You ARE NOT COOL. If you buy a car like that, it needs treating with respect - as do other road users. Yup - you're right - I'm not impressed.

Try having a fast car like that running up your ass when you are on a BIKE in that tunnel, cos they were too damned busy watching some other IDIOT in another fast car next to them.

Shame people with loads of money have very little common sense.

Get a life.

[EvilDrFish]

@zoeballz Yeah but it's fun

[redghost105]

@zoeballz dude calm the fuck down

you know youd wanna drive all out if you had a car that can go 0-60 in 2.8

and when you have the ability to have a orgasm with just a slight twitch of the foot

and plus these cars are made to be abused

there not like shitty honda stuff where if you get it to 6k rpm they explode

the ultima GTR is made for the revs since its a race car

and plus its fucking fun

[lordofbore]

@redghost105 OI !!! lay off hondas!!! life begins @8500RPM ;)

[redghost105]

@lordofbore ya...thats why i hate hondas

life begins at 8500 but it can barely get to half that

[lordofbore]

@redghost105 which honda were you driving??

[redghost105]

@lordofbore ive got a 97 accord that redlines at 6k

[jersthecool]

I want to do this so bad with a nice car lol

[Saleen99]

Amazing!!! Thanks for the share!
