Ultima GTR 640 - How not to do a quarter mile

Run 6 at Santa Pod on 17th May 2008. Watched a drag car blast off from close range and then nearly stuck the GTR in the wall, look for the wiggle in second gear at 70mph or so. Still great fun !!

so did you slap a 3 rotor in it yet?

@keeevan Hi there ! You mean a rotary engine ? I've never seen one of those, would be a first for a GTR. Nice idea though ! Regards

[Bret3030]

@peppermann what did it run? what do you have the rev limit set at?

[peppermann]

@Bret3030 7,300 rpm. But blew up the engine a week later, think that it was too much for the SBC V8. Great fun though ! Cheers

[GTRSv]

how much do the gtr kits cost without the engine?

[peppermann]

@GTRSv About 35 to 40k, if you go for the high spec bits. Cheers !

Not many corners on the 1/4 mile...

hmmmm....didnt do a burn out to get the tires sticky, slow ass reaction time, definately not a quarter mile pass. and you said that was scarey...holy shyt what would do if you rode in my car.. ill bet youd scream like a little girl and poop yourself..when the fronts pull off the ground and all you can see is sky..I still love the styling and lines of the Ultima though.

you had horrible reaction time!

@peppermann What parts did your bottom-end consist of? What stroke are you running with the crank? 7,300 is a walk in the park for a properly prepped engine. Just takes good (expensive) parts, and careful attention to detail during assembly.
