I've poked around the Ultima sites. Car is too narrow in the passenger compartment from what I can tell. Does not look like it would be comfortable.
Comparing to the GT40 cars, consider that the GTM has a substantially wider front and rear track, longer wheelbase => much better handling and stability, as that would really be necessary with even a stock LS1.
Engine wise, you are going to have limited space for power adders. Not sure you could get a S/C in there, although perhaps a maggie [or the KB LS1 twin screw that they are working on
]. Turbo...just can't imagine it...and I am a turbo fan [see my GTO!].
Styling...amazing. The more I check out this car, the more beautiful it becomes.
Cost...well...good grief, we've got guys w/ $50-60K camaros around here! Still, the 20k kit has a LOT of the goodies needed. Just don't go insane on your engine!
