GTM Build log.

[Kalstar]

I'll start by saying I am building this very different than most. I did follow some of the basics but the body mods and engine choice were uncharted. I am about 75% there and hope to be driving it this summer.

For those that do not know the GTM. It is a Kit car built by Factory Five Racing in Wareham Ma. It is a clean sheet design that uses C5 Corvette as a donor car. The body, interior, frame and misc other parts come from the factory. The C5 supplys the rest of the needed parts other than the transacle which comes from a Porcshe 911.. The car is very light and with a stock LS1 is able to outrun a Ferrari Enzo. Build time is approx 1000 hours but many have over 2000. Most guys figure the base cost at around 50K with many in excess of 100K. My goal is for a budget GTM sub 30K. This has been a 3 year project so far. I purchased the Kit and transaxcle second hand, I am on track to hit my goal.
