Schwartz Performance vs. Maxximus Technologies for Ultima Domination

[JMarsa]

Jeff,

Here's hoping you have a 1625 HP Ultima in the works.

$3 million for a kit car? I don't care how fast it is, it's still a kit car. :screwy:

Nice!
I'm in love !
I think the 1100hp GTR would be quite enough.
1600hp is just overkill.
you can't harness that on street tires.
Maybe on race tires.
But that's not streetable.

Nice Car Though!

hmmm fastest street car claim and yet not a single top speed run? Maybe they can claim quickest and I'd like to think with that type of power they could do 250+ mph but it does only have a three speed transmission. I wonder what the guy in Maryland has to say considering his street legal car does 210 in the quarter? What about the EVO that holds the standing mile speed record? Yeah, I'm just being picky about the wording. Cool car but I'm not sure I see 3 million in it. It's LSx powered woot!!!

Isn't that like buying a couple Bugattis with enough left over for a really nice house?

I love the Ultima.
IF I had the money , I would build one.
I think they are a great value , for the level of performance.
I'd love to have a dark blue one with a twin-turbo LS motor.

I just keep thinking that it was too bad that Jeff didn't run into the man with the $$$$$ first. He would be a millionaire now twice over and it would be a 1 million dollar Ultima and just as fast.

The competition is going to be interesting with a price goal like that and I believe Jeff could do it for less and hopefully he will.

He will.
I like Jeff Schwartz.
He's good people...

That $3 mil must be in there for shock value. Or humor..

The roll bar work and dash covering looks like a student did it. For 3 million, it better look a hell of a lot better then that

I'd be happy to put my Ultima against that one in any form of competition. It's typical to make great claims with nothing to back it up. A dyno video with no number WTF. There's no way possible to make 1600 hp with those dinky turbos.

Yea - I think I'd do the Veyron, Enzo, 430 Scuderia route and still probably have enough left over to have a ZR1 or LP 560-4 as a daily driver.

Nice to see the Big Stig is still around!

We actually built that motor years ago and it did make the 1625 hp crank he claims.I see that Larry from hp was dynoing it and he is a fantastic guy No bull Sh## with a world of knowledge on efi tuning .There's a video of the engine on my dts somewhere on my site.But anything to do with the car has nothing to do with us.Last i talked to larry they made 750hp wheel at 9 psi but could not get the clutch to live.So if they can get in down the track hooked up i would imagine it would go pretty good.It will be interesting to see what they will do with it.

That's the spirit , Jeff !
