Default The Ultimate LS6 powered car?

Here's a link to my latest project. I was looking to build the ultimate LS powered machine. It weighs 1900 lbs complete. What do you think?

That is amazing. What kind of intake/fuel rail setup is that? Did the whole engine come from Ultima as well? Aluminum 427? Porsche transaxle?

Are you actually going to be able to get a DOT certificate to put it on the road - or is this just track only. Very jealous-making either way.

BTW, that link is NSFW - or at least be careful not to scroll down too far....

I would love to have an Ultima GTR. Last I looked they're a little out of my price range.

Jeff, just checked out that CC and it is amazing that the Caddy pulled 1st in the 1/4 and 2nd in the autocross. You are the man! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

There's a link posted above to the Ultima Factory website with prices of the components. Click on USA for $ otherwise it's in British pounds sterling. I sold my Yellow LT4 Corvette and a couple motorcycles to get it.

Awesome car! I also like that Caddy, I read that shootout article with it in a magazine.

You stole my LS1 powered ultima idea <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Guess I'll have to settle for being second.

The Starter's in the stock location for the Porsche transaxle.
There's Paul in Canada with a Black GTR installing an LS1 too. Mines an LS6, so i guess you'll have the 1st Ultima CanAm with an LS1 Mark.
