Stunning Factory Five GTM

Editor

Factory Five’s GTM looks amazing in pictures, but you don’t have any idea how sick these cars are until you see one in person. I mean, it takes a pretty bad-ass machine to make a Lamborghini Gallardo look like a coffee table, but this beast was parked next to one while waiting to get placed in the Formatco Racing Engines booth, and was doing just that. The kit costs about $20,000, and uses a C5 Corvette as the donor car, so by using a little elbow grease, a dedicated enthusiast can put one together for around 30K. Obviously, this one probably cost at least double that, but damn, I’d take a basic model of this bad boy any day of the week. More pics—including the side by side comparo with the Gallardo—after the jump.

You don’t have to go to factory fives website they are very affordable compared to most other cars that make that kind of power

Whoo!!! Like a Ford GT Front end with A Carrera GT stance and a Saleen S7 rear end. One bad ass machine. I’d say definitely worth the dough for a fraction of the price of the now common Gallardo sitting next to it! Oh ya, it looks aight too!

Man O Man, that is super sweet! Do they have a kit that uses a Ford Bronco as the donor?…….LOL
