If anyone is interested in commenting, I have started an Ultima Vs Noble thread on GG. It's not meant to be a "my cars better than yours" thread, but to help me get an insight into living with both of these wonderful cars.

If anyone has anything to add I would appreciate it.

Given todays pictures of the 0-100-0 in the Ultima, I think an M500 might be in order!
Try the rear view shot. Lovely jubbly flames at the end.

I think Lee may have to go back to the drawing board as far that power goes a Boys because Ted M just uped the stakes a little.....

What do you think GTO......

Not having driven either, but listening to the press - I'd say it's a bit like a Lotus vs Corvette competition.

While they both go and turn, one goes violently and the other turns like a ballet dancer.

That ultima is a beast. Not far removed from a race car though!

I think you'd all be VERY surprised at how nimble an Ultima is. Yes, it does have sledgehammer power when required, BUT, in the words of the great man Ali - it floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee!

Kerbweight is almost identical between the two for starters.
