Already figured out about what it would cost, and they come with adjustable ride height susp. So its not more unfriendly than most exotic cars.

they just started selling them here in the US, and as far as I know you can make them streetable. The rolling chasis + body ect is yours for 89k, you just need an engine and so on

You have to supply an engine and transaxle. They even have a heater, a/c, and 6 speaker stereo. I would probably have about $10K in the transaxle and engine. Considering I already have most of the engine stuff and just need to buy a shortblock. $100K and styling/performance package that cannot be beaten by basically anything short of a wordclass hyper car.

I agree, its all about pure speed and sex appeal. Do any of you doubt for a minute that driving that thing to your local hot spot will get all the attention (from a car) that you would ever desire. Basically most yuppy ***** dont have a clue and you can tell anyone you want its a limited production whatever that cost $500k. If you are that kinda person..........I mean.

Dude, what are you talking about.......... A car like this would never be a daily driver. I have 4 other vehicles I can tinker around town in. No one buys a car like that and depends on it be be driven to work or on long trips.
Thats the kinda car that puts your life at risk everytime you drive it.

This Factory Five GTM is made to take an LS1 and a Porsche transaxle. They are super aero and super light.

"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."

I had no idea that they were that much cheaper. Seen them in the past, but never really researched the car. Really, I think that is a better looking car as well. I am going to call Factory Five later and ask a few questions.
Thanks for the heads up Pat and Louis.
