It is what they used to develop the Mclaren F1, and has actually ended up being faster

Or check out www.ultimasports.co.uk
I use the car for you could say every day use, but not as often as everyday given the mileage ive done in the past 3 years.
Basically its my weekend and show / meet / cruising car.

That ultima is an animal i know. but no creature comforts.
Couldnt imaging picking my women up in that to go to the local pub or for a meal, we would both have back ache every time we went out.

Im quite happy with my cossie being standard becasue of the car it is, but i know in my mind to get it the way i want it (faster), it will cost alot of money and probably money that will end up throwing away cos it doesnt add much value to a car. If it was a case of just getting the build done, it wouldnt be a problem, but like above, its all the other bits that need doing.

So lets say £10k for build, maybe little bit less.
and to know the car going to handle the power another £10k for all the refineries.
which would probably take about 3 years to actually acheive.
and for the same money all in all, i could go for the Z4M and have fun that i desire, take it to the ring, still drive the car back and straight out for an exspensive meal with the women. (thats my way of thinking anyway at the moment)

does that make sense. lol

I knew this would be a hard desicion.
