Corvette C5 versus Ultima GTR

[UhgeneIgnorian]

its like the chevy was just driving normally lol

[MrMelon49]

Must win Lotto!

[crazywin99669]

of course this outcome can be expected, the GTR only weighs like 2200lbs with a smallblock chevy in it, and probably has a pretty stoutly built motor in it

[SHRIKE427]

9.9 @143... Nice!...

[aintnunbutapenut]

hahahahahaha wow

[classicrock4ev3r]

power to weight ratio funny its only powered by a 5.7 sbc

[sirlonghair]

thats right and the chevy engine wins

[archon808]

When you floor a performance vehicle, the engine SCREAMS. Therfore the vette was obviously not trying.

[Blueball0120]

@archon808 You think the Corvette had a chance?

[archon808]

@Blueball0120 : there both v8's. The vette was obviously not trying was the point.

[Blueball0120]

@archon808 pause at 0:12. look the upper left corner. You think a Corvette has a chance against that time?

[archon808]

@Blueball0120 : I think the vette would have a better chance if it was trying.

[Blueball0120]

@archon808 But no matter what the Corvette C5 can't win.

[knieban]

@archon808

The Ultima has a ridiculous weight advantage, something like +1000lbs lighter with a "similar" engine. The Corvette still wouldn't have a chance unless it was outputting much more power than stock.

[archon808]

@knieban : Listen up FOOLS!!!! Im not saying the corvette ever had a chance. But it would have been nice if the corvette tried. -If- the corvette was floored, you would HEAR IT. Read my posts, I never said the corvette had a chance.

[knieban]

@archon808

Yes you did, "Better chance" implies he still had a chance :p Also, I believe there's another video of the race from a different angle(stands) that shows the Corvette running 13.3; which coincides with typical stock 1/4 times. Reason it might not sound like he's pushing it, is because it's fully stock.

[sirlonghair]

@knieban during the c5 vets time a Typhoon or Syclone did a 12.5 quarter mile right off the conveyor belt these are trucks lol I do a 13.5 quarter mile in an Astro Van AWD naturally aspirated

[MrPatbull]

yah right so B,S that c5 driver was suking is own dick /watch?v=MyipQHb3_Sc&feature=f­vw

[tw886]

Doesn't sound/look like the corvette was even trying

[TimpBizkit]

My friend's dad owns an Ultima GTR. I had a ride in it today!

[Uv7x77]

an ultima with the right engine hits 0-60 in 2.6s and 0-100 5.3s and 0-100-0 in 9.4s oh and which is faster than a mclaren f1, and it lapped the top gear test track faster than a ferrari fxx, which is a track only car that costs 1.8+ million haha

corvettes can suck it! the best american car ever is the ford gt40

[lookahere]

Jeez!

[YoJoe4368]

lol a ZR1 would beat that things ass

[kamyvabam123]

@YoJoe4368 no.... the ultima is 1.5 secs faster than the zr1 in a 1/4 mile, that would make no sense.

[red33m23]

aaahh so close

[socal1000]

ssc is now the fastest car in the world and has been since the veyron was a couple months old

[b1gbird001]

fastest, but not best.

[FireStorm4056]

It has the highest top speed, but the Ultima GTR owns the following records:

-Fastest 0-60 mph time: (2.6s)

-Fastest 0-100 mph time: (5.3s)

-Fastest 30 mph - 70 mph time: (1.8s)

-Fastest 100 mph - 0 mph time: (3.6s)

-Fastest 0-100 mph - 0 mph time: (9.4s)

-Best performance on a skidpad: 1.176g lateral grip in a 200 ft circle.

-Fastest road car over the 1/4 mile: 9.9 seconds @ 143 mph

[thegoodguy001]

C5 stands for  C the ultima 5 miles ahead before you shift from 3rd

[alphaomega887654321]

ultima is the fastest car or?

ultima is faster then a bugatti or?

[jordanr1504]

bugatti is the fastest top speed in the world, the ultima is the fastest accelerating car in the world

[alphaomega887654321]

mistake sorry^^

I mean Ultimate aero is the fastest car^^

1. Ultimate aero with 412 km/h

2. 9ff gt9 with 409 km/h

3. bugatti veyron 16.4 with 407 km/h

and this is correct -.-

bugatti is now the third fastest car in the world

[Uzi910]

@alphaomega887654321

i love the ultima gtr,i used to watch these type of cars race, but i never figured one would be able to come in somewhat street form, but id love to see the veyron drop 2,000 lbs, 4000lbs is way too much,but i doubt anyone will do that to their veyron

[TimpBizkit]

@alphaomega887654321 and now an update: Bugatti Veyron Supersport claims the fastest again with 430km/h. Funny how cars develop in 7 months

[alphaomega887654321]

@TimpBizkit yep you are right the new bugatti with 1200 Ps limit 431km/h

[SecularTechnology]

@alphaomega887654321

They accelerate the same to 60 (2.5)

[alphaomega887654321]

@SecularTechnology maybe :D

[SIMOPARAS]

there it goes .... lol

[benatbenland]

US cars are wank, l

haha

[XtalGameVids]

haha

[jonasvalero]

Sorry but that gtr has a US wank engine in there.

[PrivateCustard]

Unless you use the 4.0l twin turbo lexus V8............which happens to be the engine in the fastest of the Ultimas.

People usually opt for the small block chevvy lump as it's common, cheap and uncomplicated.

[txbull70]

sorry your an idiot so go have a pint and shut the hell up

[johnsgtr]

@jonasvalero Wank?

[redghost105]

@jonasvalero ya...but that US wank engine out preforms a Veryon or any shit you brits can make

[jonasvalero]

@redghost105 Dumbass, I am American.

[redghost105]

@jonasvalero ok

still that wank US engine can out preform anyother car so dont even start with putting down American motors

[jonasvalero]

@redghost105 And last of all, I was being sarcastic @ benetland about the American engine in the Ultima GTR, check at the older posts before you start juding me. Bye

[D4MOB]

@redghost105 : Cough, Bugatti, Cough Koinsenegg, Cough, Pagani, Cough Radical, Cough, new Atom V8, Cough, Caparo T1.....

Straightlines are for pussies who can't turn a wheel ;-)

[redghost105]

@D4MOB cough uhh cough the uhh cough ultima gtr got over 6 seconds faster than all of those cars cough

[D4MOB]

@redghost105 6 secdonds at what? The 1/4, the Ring? Ironically half the cars haven't posted any of these times yet, so what actually are you basing things on?

[redghost105]

@D4MOB top gear test track

and pretty much if it kicks ass on the track its kick ass everywhere

and also i didnt mean to put caparo t1...that was the only car that beat the gtr

[D4MOB]

@redghost105 Its a great car, but its an english chassis. A powertrain can be obtained anywhere. An engine is no good unless its in something that can use it. You could use many engines, its just the LS lumps are cheap compared to other power units.

[redghost105]

@D4MOB I think its safe to say whatever chassis this car uses is one hell of a chassis if its able to handle so much

[GlobalGLader]

@redghost105. Scotsman John Witherspoon did quite a good job creating your Declaration of Independence. You lot are funny, always trying to lay claim to everything you see...like the Iraqi oil that has "just" been found.

[redghost105]

@GlobalGLader wtf are you talking about?

America is in iraq right now to promote freedom and to protect civilians there until government is formed and they can help themselves

there are two flaws in your comment

1.if we were after the oil we could have just nuked iraq with a few of our few thousand warheads

2.Government wouldn't want to own the iraqi oil because if our oil companies got a hold off alot of oil then that would let them lower the price of oil read next message

[redghost105]

@GlobalGLader

so if the gas prices are lowered then that means the government wouldnt beable to tax the gas as much meaning less money for them.

so by your theory the government wants to lower gas prices so they have less to tax and ending up with less money

good job...I thank you and your country for your contribution to the world

[Ryosaeba24]

fucking gay who would go in street with that gtr shit

[BefallenCorpse]

@Ryosaeba24 me, with some fine ass girl sucking my dick while im in 3rd and doing 103 mph.

[Ryosaeba24]

yes unfortunately you have to do that in you toyota aygo and with a transexual

[BefallenCorpse]

@Ryosaeba24 i drive a a shitty Eclipse, thank you very much.

[exoticcarboy]

wow... you got up to 20 MPH!! lame

[ripcurl010]

you got wooped

[SantaCruzSoulSurfer]

Damn! That GTR pulled a 9.9 @ 143...Impressive!

[freedomsoldier187]

C5 Zo6 only has 405hp , if this isn't a Zo6 even less the GTR has 640hp minimum , so its not even fair

[unauthorizedentry01]

Don't worry about it...it has a Vette engine anyway ;)

[vfIskullangel]

Even if it was the new ZR1 it wouldn't have mattered.

[freedomsoldier187]

always a fuckwit out there who has to top your statement or have the last word, power to weight ratio !

[vfIskullangel]

And theres always a fan boy who can't except the facts that there is always something else faster out there.

[slacker3442]

hahhahaha...the video stopped before the corvette even finished.. ha

[Hilndr1701]

Wow, It seems nothing can beat British design and American muscle together.

[ls1phsyco]

just imagine if the US and UK became one country!

[julianelmur]

did you forget how the ultima holds the record for the fastest street legal time around the top gear test track by a margin of well over 4 SECONDS??

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

Well I'm sure we all saw THIS coming.

[giantmidget08]

That is stupid fast. 9.9 at 143mph!!!!!!!! Just incredible.

[se7en1976]

Check out the knobs on the nissan r35 videos pissing on this car and trying to compare the nissan.. roflcopter

[michaelcort83]

i live in hinckley where they make the ultima its not a huge factory ike youd expect in fact its a garage behind morrisons supermarket XD the engines they use are

replica chevy 7.0 v8 twin turbo

[top40productions]

The vette was out for a sunday drive, thought the kit cars are light.

[guppy8290]

the c5 looks like a snail.

[Airox180]

I have much respect for the Ultima. On the track this car is fantastic. Considered as a daily driver, no thanks. This car is loud and uncomfortable, I mean, it`s a 100% track car, nothing else. No A/C, no radio, no airbags, no insulation, nothing.

[jhr8888]

Airox,

The vast majority have A/C & mp3 radios (from the 100 or 200 I've seen, anyway).  Maybe about half have insulation...of course this is usually those using it as a daily-driver more than for racing.

[jhr8888]

It also has even more luggage space than the Enzo Ferrari and most similar cars have.

It has no airbags, but don't need em when you use dual shoulder belts (or at least... So many people survive 200+ mph collisions that FIA, Nascar, etc. have never advantage to airbags over a 5-point harness, including the speed that you can escape a burning car;

It takes oh, um...5 seconds to push the 2nd shoulder-belt into the cam-lock clip, but I guess if that makes it too unstreetable to ya, Airox... lol.

[albiz94]

yes, a racing car for to be secure, msut have not aribugs, but a carbon fiber security cell

[donsax]

no air con, no radio, no air bags...you a pussy or something, my daily drive has none of that, no heaters, no passenger seat, carpet, or dashboard.

[MFnDahk]

wut?

[1fast72nova]

haha, arguing about American or not...it uses a CHEVY MOTOR that was first made in the late 50's!!!!

[baiseoner]

its a lexus v8 twin turbo

[vfIskullangel]

No its not.

[joshynad]

he even had time to see the other cars time

[sloanster18]

you also have to remember in the US more so in cali, smog(emmisions) is strict, we cant get alot of the engines to pass, plus we have strict testing crash tests etc. also, the market is really captured by european makers.but america has the saleen s7(one point the fastest car in the world) the ford gt, the corvette, the viper i mean we in fact have built a number of world class cars at a much more reasonable price than europe.i like european cars a lot, but america when it wants can stomp ass

[Ryknfjor]

Agreed, but how much MORE pussy are you gonna get if you show up in an affordable Ferrari then in a see-em'-every-frickin'-day Corvette?

[akulax2]

If you are going to get laid by buying a car then you are no different than any other poser out there who gets rich and buys exotic for attention.

BTW Slonaster you forgot about Mosler MT900! :)

[akulax2]

Forgot to post on the video!

Ultima GTR is defenetley a monster of performance that will emberess a lot of supercars out there.

[Ryknfjor]

i was kidding.

[wolfmother4eva]

you may aswell put a top fuel funnycar against a go kart

[Brennafugg]

lol @ everyone arguing over who made what. None of you wankers ever made anything but a sandwich.

[Ryknfjor]

Oh, and by the way im "15.7 Stonnes"

[Ryknfjor]

? its a brand new austrian v-twin engine made by Rotax. it'll own the track over the HAYABUSA not hayabusha cause its aimed to contend with the 999 from ducati which owns EVERYTHING on the track except for its own successors such as 1098, Desmosedici RR and F1 racers

[Fingerebob]

If you turbo'd the c5, it wouldn't be a production car would it. This was to demo the relative speed differences between the cars. Also just how fat and lazy US car makers really are. Start making cars under 9 tons (remove the chrome and passengers)) and you too could be producing modern sports cars.

[Ryknfjor]

Whoa, step back a sec and look at what americans apply their vehicles to- the corvette is a daily driver, & low maitenance

and it already contends with the europeans cars in a lot ov ways. ever seen a ferrari with 100,000 miles? Hell no. a Corvette? yep.

[bobbygnosis]

I just noticed that I misspelled "Weight". God damn public schools.

[Ryknfjor]

lol

[Ryknfjor]

The soon-to-be 1125r from buell

PLUS what engine is IN the GTR?

Well, lookey there,

its an American 8 cylinder!!!

[julisn666]

uhm guys last time i checked... the 6.3 LS2 was definitely a gm motor. how about we twin turbo a corvette and race them again? the gtr may be an foreign car, but the power plant is straight out of the USA!!

[bobbygnosis]

It's all power to wieght. The Ultima has a the wieght and the engine has the power. Put the same power on a Corvette and, because of the girth of the Corvette, the Ultima will still pull ahead.

God, I wish Americans made cars like the Ultima. We have the gayest cars.

[Ryknfjor]

For the first time in HISTORY America has finally made its first production sports bike- in 2007. we have the corvette and the gt and the viper if you include the youngin' and that's it. oh and Panoz out of Georgia

[Ryknfjor]

yeah but the corvette price range is what?

No doubt the gtr CURRENTLY holds the records, but what about maitenance costs?

is it as cheap to work on it your self as a GTR? Now If that GTR was under $100,000 then that car would pwn way too much but it gets its sorry ass handed over to bikes

[8PK4Life8]

I don't want to enter into the 'debate' but want to put the facts straight.

It holds these production world records:

1 0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds(Veyron 9.9)

2 1/4 mile: 9.9 @143(Vyrn 10.4 @ 139)

3 0-60 in 2.6(Vyrn 2.8)

4 0-100 in 5.3(Vyrn 5.5)

5. Lateral G on skidpan

Not bad for a car that costs 20 times less (approx. £45k)than a veyron.

It is a daily driver for many - was driven to and from all of these records.

I can't comment on the maintenance costs as I don't know, but neither should you.

[Ryknfjor]

And the record will soon be taken back by some other company. besides it has the same acceleration 0-60 as a regular 999.

And what is a Skidpan? lol.. the n and the d are very far apart on the keyboard you must be talking about a skidpad, but how many G's is the question? Why cant I ask about maintenance costs? already spending so little much, your gonna wanna keep it as cheap as possible.

[8PK4Life8]

It is only inevitable that the records will be broken, I agree. Maybe it has the same accel as a 999, but that is a bike - these records are for cars. Anyway, I am happy that the accels are equal, it shows how fast they both are.

Yes I meant skidpad. For the results see the Ultima website.(ultimasports.(co).(uk­))

On the maintenance question, you assumed that maintenance costs are high - perhaps you should ask an owner before you make any other assumptions.

[Ryknfjor]

And the stock american motorcylce beats the shit our of the GTR, on the track and the streets, realistically, and cheaper too.

[Ryknfjor]

Alright scooterboy, instead of having some cuss fight, through out something actually debate-able, and we'll see who come's out on top.

[Ryknfjor]

your so pathetic all you can do is cuss? C'mon Limey say something intellectual

[Ryknfjor]

wait- how old are you? 39? And I'm 23? And you're 'oh my!' European. And I'm American?

Please act your age or post the real one.

And if "Europeans are some much more sophisticated than us", then prove it.

Besides im 6'2" and work out.

[Ryknfjor]

so thats what a "stone" is- 10 lbs. hmph, so i guess im 21 stones. oh, and sorry to say us "yanks" are not all trash talkers.

[jps512007]

ok Firstly it's "Stonne" not stones... We are not wighed by stones you pick up randomly off the floor. Secondly It's not 10lb to a Stone. Thridly if you're 21 Stonne you really need to Lose weight mate sorry.

[Ryknfjor]

Can't if most of it's muscle...

[gpfwestie]

Not really a surprising result is it.

[bigsean129]

scooterboy is ur name couple things ur a bitch lol ur name is scooterboy calling people twats and its prolly true 140 lbs little punk who runs his mouth on a screen just shows ur parents raised a little pansy

[woodytwoshoes]

Lot a wankers on here... Don't say anything if you have nothing to say.

[bishopkitch]

what a mouth - talking trash like that you must be a 140 lb pussy

[bishopkitch]

uh the website said 89 k usd for a rolling chasis just short of your engine 800k quid huh your an idiot

[nigelasinugo]

naw dude the aero ultimate kills anythingn

[NufcJamesH]

why dont you guess buy a melling hellcat because its much faster and more powerfull than a veyron

[agoura1]

yeah chevy....wooot woooot!!!!!!

[Northax]

Put it up against the Lingenfelter C5 Corvette, and the race'll be more even, if not in the favor of the Ling. C5.

Lingenfelter C5 Corvette: 0-60 in 1.9 seconds... as they say: "enough said". ;)

[tsport100]

False advertising... The Lingenfelter only does 0-60 in 3.2 on street tires!!! 1.9 was done on slicks!

[ineedalager2]

Never seen an incar vid of a drag race where the car gets whopped so bad you see the winning time come up!

C5's rule anyway as I've got one!

[Northax]

Put it up against the Lingenfelter C5 Corvette, and the race'll be more even, if not in the favor of the Ling. C5.

Lingenfelter C5 Corvette: 0-60 in 1.9 seconds... as they say: "enough said". ;)

[Northax]

Um... expected. The Ultima GTR will own Enzos, Carrera GT's, F430s, 911s, etc. There's nothing to prove to us here. The Ultima GTR has a Chevy V8 engine, producing 720 hp... btw. ;)

[Standardfrank]

Northax...The koenigsegg may run it close or beat it as the company is vying to become the fatest road car beyond the Veyron!

[djowowi]

veyron is a big challenge to beat.

[Standardfrank]

You're correct! But the boys at Koenigsegg are convinced they could do it. Bear in mind that each Veyron weighs in at a cost of £5 million a piece to make, but retails at £1 million each! I think the harndened low cost high quality business minds at Konenigsegg have the mental vintage to pull it off. We'll see. Cheers man!

[djowowi]

well yeah it costs bugatti 5 million to design and build the car all together but not a peace it would be absurd if they lost 4 million per car. once its mass produced its alot cheaper. well i'll be happy to see other fast cars on the market dude.

[Standardfrank]

If you want to get hold of one if you ain't on the waiting list...you'll have to buy it second hand -:)!

[djowowi]

i'd prefer a carrera gt rather than a bugatti.

[Standardfrank]

Hi diowowi...where are you at? Aruba? US? I don't think you're based in Europe. So here's the low down on the Veyron. The car won't be mass produced. The company did it on a 'whim' to see whether they could actually engineer a car with 1001bhp! VW pushed the engineering envelope with new gear box innovation, breaking systems etc! The car is a limited run 'product'. When the orders are filled...then that's it!

[djowowi]

I'm in aruba right now. but next week i'll be going to holland to study. yeah you said it. it costs 5 million to design so once it's designed its not 5 million a peace its only for the first one.

[Standardfrank]

No djowowi the research budget for the project as I understand it was huge!

[Forkie]

haha awsome

[CoolColJ]

goodbye
