Think I'm getting divorced.
 
Told my wife I want to build an Ultima GTR.

Show her picture.

She says "god no, that's ugly"

A man can only put up with so much.

I agree... time to move on.

:)

Shaun @ Tru6 10-22-2016 07:18 PM
What color will it be?

I agree with your wife.

Gotta side with the wife.

Bill Douglas 10-22-2016 07:24 PM
Or you could buy a second hand one.

I'm sure there are quite a few for sale, what with divorce settlements and all.

M.D. Holloway 10-22-2016 07:30 PM
The kit alone must be around $75K? Add the V8 small block...still its a road rock and way cool.

I like the yellow, a lot.

And the red

Midnight blue is not too obnoxious and subtle

Black is never a bad choice.

I think I am going to take out a life insurance policy on you...lets say for 5M.

Wife is right of course. The front end is terrible. Get a Noble M12 or a Lotus or a GT-LM. or a kit GT40.

Half the fun is building it.

Bill Douglas 10-22-2016 07:38 PM
Suppose so, the next time one of the guys crashes a high end 911 - something like a GT3 it would be a good pile of bits for the powertrain.

Bang for buck the GTR beats all except for the GTM.

Style wise the GTR, IMHO, is more timeless than the GTM.

I'm with you Sto Mo! Lets go halfsies. I have space (now that the gold cart is sold) and a kid that will help wrench for a drive!

Can you post a pic of one in white? Always liked that color in a sports car.

Nice scare on the thread title, BTW...whew!

White is pretty.

But needs a bit to make is less "soft"

Jim Richards 10-22-2016 09:29 PM
Aubergine will seal the deal, SM. ;)

Double indemnity if you get murdered. My recommendation is to stay off trains. Ohhh wait I think you should take train rides.
