Looks sorta like a lotus elise, except bigger and the headlights are different too. Is it some other lotus maybe?

That my friend is an Ultima Can-Am and I think it has 600hp w/ a six speed Getrag

Oh and it is around $70,000. Did I mention it has a 5.7 liter chevy V8? And the 0-60 is 3.3.

well, you can get anything from a 300hp chevy 350 to a 600hp supercharged 350 to a 500hp chevy 427!

the red one is the can am and the blue one is the gtr.

I love that car. Ever since I first saw it. It almost reminded me of the Wraith car.

What do I win?

That's an Ultima GTR - the open cockpit one looks like an Ultima Can-Am.

Here are some links (copy and paste cuz the "$" screws up the hyperlinking):

http://www.supercars.net/cars/2000@$Ultima@$GTR.html

http://www.supercars.net/cars/2001@$Ultima@$Can-Am.html

Dude - 550 horses and about a 2100 curb weight? Damn - that must have been one HELL of a ride.

dude, you can get the kit for as little as $50,000. then get an engine and tranny, and you have a car that is on par with a mclaren f1, for much much much much less.

the guy that owns the red one if a friend of mine. it has the 550hp, 383ci engine, with a 6 speed porsche tranny. the blue one is owned by a guy in jersey. it has the 400hp, 350ci engine with an older rod linkage 5-speed getrag tranny. the red one will do 200mph, and the blue will do 210mph. (both restricted only by gearing!)
