mmmm even nicer if you put a supercharged LS2 in an Ultima.... like I am.

A very out of date blog is here http://ultimagtr.spaces.live.com/... the car will be on the road (in Hong Kong) early in the new year.... I know a guy that is building an LS2 powered Ultima in Melbourne......

apples and oranges.

The ultima is an engine with a seat. the veyron is highly engineered performance with the absolute best in luxury.

its like comparing a go-cart to a HSV Grange.
