Ok so I was at work today and as I was leaving I was walking across the parking lot and from the angle I was approaching my car I could see the roof of another car parked next to my car. Ok so I am a little annoyed as I parked in the back away from everyone a figured this guy parked next to me to be an ass. So as I approach my car and walk around another car I stop. Next to my car is this awesome looking car. I have never seen a car that looked like this thing. I had to get some pics of it. So I moved my car out of the way to get some good shots of it. There is no identifying badges on it that would ident the maker. The steering wheel is a momo and the seats are sparco seats. The only thing on the car is GTM. It has it on the back of the car, the brake calipers, the engine....starting to think kit car. Any ideas? I tried to wait around to see if the owner would come out but I had to leave. Guess I need to fire up google. You see a few nice cars on base. Have seen a lamborghini but this is nice.

ok yea did some searching. It is a kit car. It is a kit from a company called factory five. I knew that engine looked familiar. Its a corvette engine. The whole kit can be done for around 40k. Should have searched before posting. Sorry

Yep you're right, it's a GTM kit car. Made to attach to C5 Vette parts.

midnighter · 05-22-2012, 09:13 PM

It looks cool.

trooper182 · 05-22-2012, 09:14 PM

Yea it does look cool and I bet it is fast. Do like the plate on it lol

ss/rs-matt · 05-22-2012, 09:15 PM

Yep, it's a Factory Five GTM. My next project car will be a Factory Five cobra. They make some really nice replicas.

reptar11 · 05-22-2012, 09:17 PM

menendez1293 · 05-22-2012, 09:22 PM

It screams kit car. But I do see a C5 in the doors and side mirrors

dkp2LT · 05-22-2012, 09:23 PM

Loose the spoiler and redo the exhaust and it could look good.

CUPRA · 05-22-2012, 09:29 PM

GEARZ on Speed TV has Stacey David building one of those at the moment.

Worgnakh · 05-22-2012, 10:23 PM

As a kit car with a vette motor, it probably needs that wing to keep it's ass on the ground...

Deke736 · 05-22-2012, 11:41 PM

I think it looks pretty sweet!

Plexus · 05-22-2012, 11:45 PM

The spoiler is ridiculous...

He's actually building an SL-C from Superlite Cars (http://www.superlitecars.com).

It a Kit car I saw it or one like it on the Speed channel a few days ago.

Sterling · 05-23-2012, 12:51 PM

I drive by Factory Five every day! I need to go check out their showroom again... it's been a while.
Last time I was there I tried to sit in one of these cars and I couldn't even fit through the door! It just sits so low it's very awkward getting in.
