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.

Or you could buy a second hand one.
I'm sure there are quite a few for sale, what with divorce settlements and all. |

The kit alone must be around $75K? Add the V8 small block...still its a road rock and way cool.

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.

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.

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

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

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