A lot depends on the component parts of a GT40 build. I would venture to say most GT40 owners like their cars because of a combination of history and performance. Some supercar owners feel they have to have the fastest vehicle on the planet. The Ultima GTR has the advantages of modern suspension, less weight, and wider wheels than most GT40's. With comparable shocks, springs, and brakes a GT40 replica could be close to an Ultima GT, but really who cares? In supercar pissing matches look at the Hennesey Venom GT. Basically a Lotus Exige with 1200hp! I'm happy with my SPF MKII and 505 piddly hp.
