v8 ariel, anyone?
Discussion
saw a ULTIMA GTR yesterday in tesco car park. noise! noise! noise! nothing is better than the 7L V8 noise! but the ultima looks awful........too much body work!
so a chevy 7L V8 ariel comes to my mind. or a twin-turbo charged 7L V8 (over 1000bhp) in an ariel, anyone? weight should be less than 650kg. F1 eater!!!

I too went after the F1 performance dream and that is why I ended up with the Ultima. I have a theoretical 700+ hp per 950kg's (ish - with nitrous - any takers on here with that??), so am defo pushing 700hp/tonne, but sadly even the Peter Knight Race engine (chevrolet) runs out of breath at 7k, so the F1 dream (18,000

An Ultima is UGLY compared to a Ariel?

For all you "chassis perverts" out there here's a link to a naked babe. www.ultimasports.co.uk/gtr/design.html and www.ultimasimon.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk for a 'dressed' one.
PS, keep the forum going guys, it's all good stuff.
Edited to say although the Ultima chassis IS ugly compared to the Atom's work of art, the funcionality is that these chassis are good for 1000+ hp... A TT'd V8 in an Atom?? More like a jet-turbine propelled Twiglet, or a steerable V2 rocket me thinks
