I had a chance to take a close look at a completed GTR at the Cars & Coffee event in Irvine CA. It has impressive performance and it photographs well.
We have no issues with taller/bigger guys fitting in the car.the seat shape itself is more of an issue but thats personal preference.we aso have an extended pedal box that we use on the race cars for more hand/wiggle room when working on the cars at the track. Our SLC race car is essentially the same chassis and geometry as our street car.and we have done a fair bit of record setting ourselves on real race tracks against real race cars in door handle to door handle racing. If you want a Chromoly chassis you could just have one custom made.there are some very talented guys out there that can do just what you ask.
as you have asked about dropping the floor, raising the roof, extending the wheelbase etc etc. I have read your posts over on PH so I know that you need a car bigger than the Ultima. Louis, I'd likely have gone with the Ultima in spite of what I see as the SLC's superior design. This last point is important enough to me that if I lived in Slammingham instead of St. For a project of this magnitude, the proximity of RCR is MUCH more reassuring than that of a supplier that is literally on the other side of an ocean. A visit to RCR resulted in an overwhelming impression of "Holy ratfuck Batman, this guy knows what he's doing, and has the connections to tap into a vast pool of underemployed talent and manufacturing capacity in the Detroit area and beyond."ģ. RCR/Superlite is IMO on the cutting edge of tech development in this area, as evidenced by both the ongoing incremental improvements to the design, and the track results of existing SLCs.Ģ. My decision to go with the SLC was the result of several considerations:ġ. I may not be the best person to answer your question, as I haven't built either one yet, but I was in almost exactly your situation a year ago, pondering the same issues. Thanks in advance for any constructive input you can offer.
Altama gtr evolution race car how to#
I also war with myself when wondering how to build, a part of me really wants to build a bare bones street and track car, and another side of me wants to build in some creature comforts. I do really like the looks of the SLC but even with that I know I will be making some changes to the body. Look at all the records TopGear track times, 0 to 60, 0 to 100, 0 to 100 to 0 times. That would not be a big task for me, I also did not like the fact that the frame was mild steel I would want Cro-mo so I would likely rebuild that too.īut I am not sure on the SLC's long term viability and in the end I want a take no prisoners performer when you point at the score board I know the Ultima GTR performs well. I know if I was going to build a GTR I was going to add about 3 inches to the roof line. I am am 6'4" and build like a line backer so room is important.
Well first of all I want a car that will fit me. What do I want is the criteria that should be mentioned. I know I am going to build something I was originally leaning to-wards the GTR just due to its very potent performance capabilities but also its looks. OK I know the answers I get here will be Biased but why should I choose a SLC over the GTR?
