  • Does not sound that stock to me? when you say stock are you just talking about the engine? because your brakes cant be stock surely?

  • The engine is a standard Clio 172 engine with no internal modifications,it has a straighth through exhaust and a performance air filter,so its only around 170bhp,its fitted with spax coil overs,and it has tarox front brake discs with carbone lorraine front brake pads.

    I purchased this car off ebay last year for £1500,I then spent a further £1000 on the upgrades for the track ,all off ebay 2nd hand except the brake pads they were purchased new,so its just a cheap bit of trackday fun for me.

  • If someone described doing this down the pub, I'd call them a liar to their face. The stripped out "cup" version of the clio is 2,226lb - the ultima is 2,183lb - with better weight distribution, better grip (have you *seen* those tyres?) etc - if the two cars had the exact same power and torque, the GTR should still eat the clio alive!

    Either you're the Stig, or the GTR is being driven by a hamfisted wally. Or both.

    Class. Now borrow his GTR and show him how it should be used.

  • Nice little track mobile for £2500, you certainly now how to get the most from it anyway, nice driving :)

  • @BHWatt Hmmm...quoting stats..and on the basis of your stats you say 'it's best handling car in the world' no it's not. Plain and simple. It has one great trick, it goes very fast and stops even faster. If the GTR was king it'd have the record at the Ring...a benchmark for performance. To drive a GTR at the limit you need balls bigger than any man alive as one mistake and you're in a world of pain.

  • @tljkoap Not really, in kit form (I contemplated buying one) you can drop several engines in, some have 2ltr engines if you can't afford the big yank lumps. The chassis is designed for the Porsche box and Chevy short block ideally which is around 400 or so bhp...I'd guess this Ultima is running that. awesome cars for sure but the Clio is so much more fun.

  • Actually, I'd rather be *in* the ultima, but since that's not likely anytime soon...

  • Teach me to drive like that!

    I wanna be able to harass Ultima GTR owners in a FWD supermini too!

  • Ultima 640 = 640hp

    Ultima 720 = 720hp

    They usually have a chevrolet ls 7 liter engine installed.

  • Anyone know which engine power is in the Ultima, 640/720?

  • Great driving:-) Ultima guy just isn't giving it the full welly!

  • That Ultima is just lovely. What a great car, and what a guy for just enjoying it on the track - he's already won the penis waving competition anyway!

  • @BHWatt i don thing the g is world record...ariel atom v8 or caparo t1 could hit 3g

  • Go liddle buzzbomb go!!! -- That is some siiick drivin' dude!
