Default Spy Shots - Ultima Twin Turbo - Twins

OK.... for those of you that didnt think Jeff Schwartz's Silver State 0-200-0 winning Twin Turbo Ultima GTR Ultima was harcore enough...... he's now putting a TT'd LS7 into an Ultima Canam - the soft top version!!

Both Yellow.... Both TT'd.... These are definitely two evil (almost identical) twins

I hope he is gonna put some forged pistons in that thing or he will never see the true potential that the LS7 has in it.

mmmmmmm... its still got me scraching my head why you'd put a smelly, oily, tempremental old SB in there when you could have one of these. That TT package that Jeff has come up with is pure sex

Jeff, you do great work! I can't wait to see your car at Silverstate again this year blowing your record from last year away! And Grant, I hope you can make it to the powertour this year. I plan to join for a few of the stops around Michigan this year. Hopefully I can catch up with you guys.

They are mid engine-Rear Drive using a Porsche gearbox. The side outputs are for the halfshafts to the rear wheels/tires.

Check out the factory website. It is about ~$42k for the basic kit that you assemble. You will still need an engine and transaxle from there. Or you can get a roller for ~$89k just add engine and transaxle and you are on your way. Of course costs will vary depending upon what you change/upgrade along the way.

I think if you add all the stuff you really need from Ultima it's more than 42k. plus engina and trans

That TT car, is that track only? i mean, without slicks I can't see getting that power to the pavement. That's just so much power. Start off in 3rd?

Jeff is one of a very few car builders who actually builds cars not only to look good, but also to perform. Great work!
