i like the look much more than the ultima gtr. i know this thing has been in hte works for a very long time(saw it in Hotrod a few years back) but it does look strikingly like a ford GT...

Is there finished cars for sale? My boss didn't really like the looks of this but was debating this, A Daytona Coupe replica or an Ultima GTR. He found a 650 hp GTR for about $85k.
And this is a very well put together example a lot better build quality from the ones I have seen!

I wonder with the placement of the engine could a viscous coupling AWD system like the Lamborhini's be fitted? Now that would actually make the power that much more useable!

Badass, but will be tough to resell if you decide to in the future. I'd risk the 1k lbs and get a c6zoh by a long shot.
It reminds reminds me of the car from "The Wraith." JAMIE!!!!
I'm not hatin', just giving my 2 cents.

Nice ride
On a completely different subject... I can't believe someone else remembers the movie the Wraith

Those are sweet cars, saw them in person at SEMA. I'd be interested in one of those, or one of these:

About the same price and weight. Leaning towards the Corvette though, especially like that silver one in the gallery.
