How much does an Ultima RS really cost?

In this video I show all the costs of my Ultima RS build, both expected and unexpected as well as costs related to the actual kit, the LT5 engine, performance modifications, the drivetrain, and all the little odds & ends required for completion.

I really respect the honesty with regard to costs. So many people either spin, omit things, or outright lie about what a project like this costs. Huge respect.

Not even Rolls Royce goes this deep into the options lists 😂
Respect for building YOUR car. I believe nothing can replace that feeling 👍

Nice!! On my budget...have to stick w/ an ALTIMA

[roddas]

Now that is how you build a "dream" build. No expense spared. End result, a masterpiece.

Many thanks for detailing these costs and concerns as some people would be uncomfortable doing so. Very helpful video - cheers!

It's not just $170K. He still adds labor, 170K just gets you a garage full of parts.

Anyone driving an Ultima on the road is gonna get my respect before some mainstream lambo

[frankrubino]

Thank you for this. Your honesty is awesome and I love the quality of your build and videos. I can't wait to see this car complete. You're absolutely right that you won't find anything in that price range with the performance and uniqueness of your Ultima RS. Carry on, sir!

Can’t take the money to the grave so you might as well enjoy life 👌👌👍
Awesome build

Gabe, thanks for walking us through all the details. Beautiful selection of options. This will be a build of a lifetime.

[goranpetrovski]

Worth every cent if you ask me, exclusivity, styling, power & that’s reliable power at that. Well done.

[andyc]

Thanks for the costings. Most people wouldn’t be so upfront.

[johnclark]

Thank you for being so honest and open with the finance required for your build very much appreciated. 😎👍

I’d rather put 165k into a car and not an ex-wife.... 🤣

[awl]

Thanks for the break down. Yes it’s costs a lot. But I’m sure you have a truck load of fun building it. If you have worked hard for your money, it doesn’t matter what anyone else has to say. Thanks for spending time to video it. Have watched every video and will continue to. Not sure what others like, but would be ok with longer detailed videos as well. Thanks Al

This breakdown applies to pretty much every build. You could add up the big ticket items and think the overall cost won't be too bad but the small items always end up adding way more to the cost than most people ever imagine.

I've been wanting to build an Ultima for several years now, thank you for the in-depth detail on it. Hopefully in the next year or two I'll be able to start my build.

[newagerc]

You are truly the ultimate car guy. Just the knowledge alone to build that car is incredible, if I were rich I would send you a check. Good luck with all of your continued plans.

[lirrtrainwreck]

It must be so exciting to be able to have a certain budget in mind even if you go a little bit over, but be able to get exactly what you want and have the car look like this. This is absolutely unbelievable and a stunning vehicle.

Going over your prices you got a screaming deal on your transaxle, mine was around 18k, and those seats are crazy looking, I'd wait for them too.
