There are easier ways to depart this life, but few louder.

With 15 Chevy LS options to choose from to power the new Ultima Evolution, drivers should be able to select exactly as much speed as it takes to pancake themselves into the side of something.

It hits 60 in 2.3 seconds, which is totally something you want to do in a car made in a shed somewhere. If that doesn't morbidly thrill you, it's an actual 10 second car in the quarter mile.

Your coffin awaits:

Everybody clamors for a mid-engined Corvette.

Here Ya Go!

This, or Factory Five GTM... I am sure there are likely a few others...

Go nuts!

Frankly, that Can Am open cockpit car looks cooler than a mid-engined Corvette would.

I think there's a pretty vast gulf between a factory built car and a kit car, least of which is having more than one seat in the thing.

It's got to be a blast, though.

That is true...

but if people want the mid-engined aspect for motorsports and racing... it doesn't get much more focused than this.

And Ultima is probably less a kit-car, than a hand-built custom coach-built race car.

I doubt people build up Ultimas from a packed crate in their garage... but maybe.

I figured that most Ultimas are pre-built turn-key barely-street-legal race cars.

You bring up a good point, with Something like the Hennessy Venom is it a mid engined corvette or a corvette engined lotus

10/10 would die in a fiery wreck.

There's a local guy by me who owns a twin turbo Ultima GTR. Will run a 10.32s 1/4 mile out of the box (his, specifically ran a 10.32).

Positively insane.

Kind of nice seeing they haven't decided to re-design the whole car, I do like the looks, and if they never change, I certainly wont complain.

I have to imagine that with the 1050 hp option, it’ll do a lot better than 10 in the quarter.

Wow, this is insane.
