    Ultima GTR is pretty sweet.

    I would pick a Ford GT40 over it though They both have a similar layout

      Still looking for a reasonably priced model tho.
      Actually matte grey looks very good. I've seen a Bentley GT and Techart GT Street done that way. Its a very aggressive looking shade.

      Matte black is getting very overused. A lot of people are doing vinyl wraps instead of painting these days. Maintenance on it is not easy!

      I have actually seen a matte black Shelby Cobra locally. I have some pics on my other computer somewhere.

      I would also consider doing "satin" instead of straight matte. Satin is not as dry looking as straight matte, it is done by spraying semi-matte clearcoat.

        Except for the price of a GT40 you could buy like 3 GTRs
        .

          Haha you're right. If you can even find an original!

          The Superformance licensed reproduction GT40 is around the same price as the Ultima ~100k

              Some very elegant design work, particularly on the single speed.

                this is the sickest car i've ever driven.



                Rated output - 500 hp at 6,800 rpm
                Rated torque - 465 lb. ft. at 5,250 rpm
                Maximum engine speed 7,000 rpm
                Acceleration 0–60 mph - 4.1 s (est.)
                Top speed - 186 mph (electronically-limited)

                but what makes it special is that it doesn't sacrifice luxury the way other stripped down "track ready" cars do. its still a mercedes. i haven't made it to 186 yet but damn close
                dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

                    really like the look of japanese sports nissan gtr's, 350z, 370z and the honda NSX - gorgeous beasts in a slightly tacky macho way.....

                        We have the ultimate in dichotomous vehicles. I have an a3 with a big and thirsty 3.2 l v6 and a honda oddyssey. My son gets his permit in 4 years so he will get the a3 and daddy will get an rs4.

                          spent a good deal of time in a gtr as well (wasn't mine but i had it for a few weeks) and it doesn't touch the black series clk. not even close. but still, totally bad ass

                          you should hear it from the drivers seat. yesterday i felt like such an asshole i was driving it downtown and every now and then i'd rev the shit out of it when speeding past a bus-stop or something to kinda shock the people standing around. a total dick thing to do but it is more deep and throaty. a pleasant sound. not a screamer. people like to hear it.

                          boy that lambo is a screamer though isn't it? jeezus...

                            Just conceded to buy my first car- Acura 1.6 EL. I'm pretty content with it.

                                lol, yeah that's pretty douchbag but hey, you got to flex that AMG muscle. it's not as bad as driving around with straight pipes in carrera GT's scaring the shit out of everyone..
