chilli Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 exactly, if the old SR8 has the record, what time will this beast do I wonder test drive? is that possible? must be the closest us mere mortals can get to driving an F1 car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much planing is there, lots I guess? The Ultima is special, I'd still prefer it over this SR8 because it's a bit more road car like (ish), is more than quick enough anyway and looks great too! you do realise, once you have that, everything else will seem slow - there will be no going back lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 vs SR8 vs Ultima -> sounds like an interesting day! You can also build the radical yourself (my plan)...Im in the ultima camp! If you want practical, get a ford.

neil tt Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 30 hours between rebuilds, but how much is a re-build:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 yeah tell me about it I have loved them for years! My old man is an engineering manager and has built cars in the past so he is going to give me a hand. One other reason for taking it slow is I should be 28 when its done so should be able to get insured. Looking at 400-500bhp but in something that weighs around 700kg should be more than enough to arrive at the gates of hell in a ball of flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
