Goodluck to you aswell Craig. Have you got a licensed SLC on the road?
I am not looking for an Ultima Vs SLC thread but thanks for your input. I have no interest in RCR or the SLC. Others may and I recommend that they contact you or start a new thread.
Ok back to Ultima's
Thanks to all the people that emailed, pm'd and called regarding Ultima's.
I am not the dealer or Australian Rep, I am very happy to help with what I can and discuss ADR's and so on.
I have put Alan's contact details below.
Contact him for prices and so on or just go to the Ultima webpage and get all your own info.

So for approx 33k you have most of the parts to build a roller. I will source my own shocks, wheels , interior trim and so on. I'm guessing on the road for 80k using a stock LS1. You don't have to paint these cars because the gelcoat is so good so that saves 10-15k. Just like B ig Kev use to say "I'm Excited"
