It always amazes me what a couple of blokes can knock up in a shed in their back yard.

It doesn't look all that different from a Daytona Prototype.

Its always been a monster with a feather weight siut. I am impressed that it was able to take down an FXX. I am assuming it was done with slicks to match the advantage that the Ferrari had

A friend of a friend has an Ultima GTR. He bought with some cash he got during the tech bubble. The bubble burst...and all that he has left of his millions (literally...on paper, at least) is the car.

He doesn't drive it...at all. Just sits in his garage.

As far as I know, he's NEVER driven it.

He's sure that the second he takes it on the street, some idiot with minimum insurance coverage is going to hit him.

Such a waste of a VERY fast street-legal track car.
