I used to own a Manta Mirage (mine pictured below) which was basically the old version of the Ultima GTR, but I've always wanted to build an Ultima with a Z06 motor. Only about $15k for the kit, but you supply the drivetrain.

0-100 in 4.5?

Throw a 1600 HP Chevy into a Camaro and its numbers will improve..

that car now holds the world record for street legal top speed. averaging 256 mph in a point to point run, and did so while conforming to US emissions standards. i read an article about it a few monthes ago, and they are guessing that it has the potential to top out near 280 mph. It sells for roughly $600,000 thats way less than a bugatti veyron, and it will blow the bugatti out of the water. Best of all, it's got a chevy V8!

256 now? Good to hear. I thought it was officially 254.X

Chevyrocker · 02-14-2009, 04:39 PM
