one of those was on the Power Tour 06(didn't drive it unfortunately) along with the other stable of Factory Five. gorgeous car with very nice lines. and the build quality seems to be pretty damn good.

Is there finished cars for sale? My boss didn't really like the looks of this but was debating this, A Daytona Coupe replica or an Ultima GTR. He found a 650 hp GTR for about $85k.
And this is a very well put together example a lot better build quality from the ones I have seen!

Badass, but will be tough to resell if you decide to in the future. I'd risk the 1k lbs and get a c6zoh by a long shot.
It reminds reminds me of the car from "The Wraith." JAMIE!!!!
I'm not hatin', just giving my 2 cents.

Nice ride
On a completely different subject... I can't believe someone else remembers the movie the Wraith
Those are sweet cars, saw them in person at SEMA. I'd be interested in one of those, or one of these:

About the same price and weight. Leaning towards the Corvette though, especially like that silver one in the gallery.

Very cool thanks for the link tony!
A guy in Midland was building one of the first GTM kits produced to be sold (3rd i believe). I'm not sure if it's finished yet but i can try and find out. It was getting a 427 LS1 and was bright yellow.
