I'm sick of having no roof during the winter.

Anyone want to go halves?

Makes much more sense than a 780 cu.inch (12.9 litre) Cobra rofl

That's all very well and good but I feel that Ultima would be a bit asthmatic, I like to have at least a little bit of power for safe overtaking

So you're not going to offer the Lotus as a Part-Trade ?

I'm sure I could spare 20 seconds to top 300km/h, if not 120 thou euros. The phrase 'better than sex' springs to mind when considering that kind of performance...

I have a friend whose automatic response to 'better than sex' statements is . . .

"That depends on the camel." rolleyes
Can't take him anywhere paperbag

If you wanted 950 - 1000 bhp in a reliable and driveable format would you start with a Lexus? Not entirely sure I would, but then my all time favourite car has always been the 917/30 cloud9

The guys with that Ult seem pretty hard out. I'm just not sure that the head gaskets would last that long in it, though the bottem end should be fine. I even got an 1UZ off of trademe! ready for a build, before I caved in and bought the one I've got now.

Though, if I could just squeeze that 12.9L Big block into the back of the Ult...

On another note, I'll be at RAF Marham again on Sunday, and there's a Lambo club comming, with Galla's, Diab's and some Murci's, plus there's an Enzo on the list, so I'll be taking pics like a kid eating sweets in a lolly shop...
