Factoryfive has just started selling their GTM Supercar.
The GTM concept is classic Factory Five...If you have the running gear from a C-5 Corvette and our component kit, you already have everything you need to build and drive the car )except for a Porsche G50 transaxle from a 911 that costs between $2500-$5,000).
The car is set up to use the engine, suspension components and other misc parts from a late model production car, namely, the 1997 to current Corvette C-5.
Factory Five will supply the tubular steel frame and aluminum chassis panels, the composite body, windows, doors, trim, interior, coil-overs, fasteners and misc parts needed to complete the car.
Some of the parts needed from the C-5 (1997-present) Corvette include the engine, radiator, fuel tanks, front/rear suspension (control arms, spindles and brakes...FFR supplies the coil-overs).

no fucking way you could build that for $30k with the base kit @$20k. the tranny/engine alone would take up most of the remaining 10k, and then you still have to build an interior, get all the suspension components, wheels/tires, etc etc...

"How much will it cost to build a GTM?

The price of the kit is not as important as the price of the completed vehicle. Our original target was that a guy should be able to build the GTM for less than $30,000. We think that is still achievable if a donor C5 is procured for less than current market value of $8,000-$10,000, and provided the person can do his/her own paintwork… but realistically we estimate that folks will spend between $35,000 and $40,000 to complete the car including Chevrolet parts, wheels/tires, paint and the Porsche transaxle." - factory five racing

yea i figured it was facotry five that made it, my cousin built one of the cobras and he made money on it, so i guess the resale wouldn't be bad on those things, mabye im wrong though :confused:

I'm saving up for an Ariel Atom 2 (probably used). A little more money, but worth it IMO.
