LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road I've gotten used to it so that my knees are no longer trembling when I get out of the car. What a freaking rocketship!
Got pulled over by the Cops for burning the tires, nearly impossible not to burn 'em. Didn't buy my story that because the car only weighs 2000 lbs I can't help it.
They let me go after checking registration and insurance though.
I've noticed my custom carbon fiber tub keeps the car cooler inside than the standard aluminum interior. The EFI LS6 seems to be mapped fine (ASA Computer and Harness). It revs so quick it's hard not to hit the rev limiter in 1st gear. Final stainless exhaust fab and AC charge being done this week.
Hope to do some drag strip and chassis dyno testing before Hot Rod Power Tour which starts May 30. Updated pics here: http://www.worksstand.com/jeffs

Re: LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road When the "cannot display" page comes up hop up to the top and add .htm or .html to the end of the address.
Wow! I bet that did scare the snot out of you. You are so low and light. Great looking vehicle. Lots of good ideas in there!

Re: LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road Jeff, those tires look like they could be 335 30 18. Tirerack has Mich. Pilot Sports in that size on sale for some ridiculous amount like $137 or $139. If that is the size you are running or if it will fit, I would stock up on them. I think they are normally like $350.
Something tells me you are going to be going through quite a few of them.

Re: LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road Hey, we just did one too for a Toronto guy, a Black Ultima, nice looking cars! The guy said he's got $100k US in it, he thinks 
I think it was 1800lbs and it has our Street Eliminator 360 engine in it, roughly 400 RWHP, must be a blast!!

Re: LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road 10.92 @ 131 mph 1.9 60 ft, best so far with street tires.
Need to dyno tune, and adjust coil overs to eliminate wheel hop. Then back to the track later this year before the snow flies. And maybe I'll try Nitto drag radials.
It's a street legal road race car sold in kit form to get around gov't red tape.
Gonna have it at the Car Craft Nats in St Paul MN, HIN Chicago and Bristol Bash in TN.
thanks

Re: LS6 Ultima GTR hits the road Ran at Byron. Gonna do some chassis dyno work and fab a ram air system before going back to the strip. Got some special GOodyears on it now that hook better.
