  • Fuck it I'm going to buy one in a couple of years, seriously this car us worth it, it's unique...

    I'm a fan of the chevy LS engines they are amazing I was running high 9s in my 02 ws6

    All motor, built by horse power engineering in Houston Tx.

  • God bless America

  • wtf is elegent?

  • This is an incredible machine!

  • I am in the process of building this beast. Yet i am torn between v6 a v8 or a v12. any suggestions?

  • @luiserick920 v12 lol

  • @luiserick920 v8 cheapers

  • @luiserick920 v8 is to common, go v12

  • @150peacemaker for what v 8 is the most valanced engine tipe for engine size by far for any aplication you want if you want to go diferent go for any v8 brand instead coz ths sbc is the most commun because of its wide aplicances but the v12 are to much un eficient , bad gas milage hevier , more problematic to fix ,and doesnt do more than what a v8 do so unnecesari really

  • @IssaBendeck1 the gtm is considered a super car isnt it? when people get supercars, they dont worry about mpg's cause its most likey not their daily driver. besides, v12's sound beast and the fact that you could rub it in someones face cause yeah, you got a v12.

  • I am in the process of building this beast. Yet i am torn between v6 a v8 or a v12. any suggestions?

  • @luiserick920 w16

  • to answer your question, an arm and perhaps a leg if you want a buggati.

  • "Elegent Interior" ? You guys can design and build world-class supercars but you can't hire a director that knows how to use spell check ?

    Beautiful car though....

  • @74Surfnut - I'm not sure that this video or the producer is affiliated in any way with FFR. In fact, if that's the case and I were the producer, I'd refrain from having the slide that shows the FFR website address, which could be misleading to some as to the affiliation of the video. I think the video was otherwise well made and the music choice is excellent to set the mood, but agree that a bit more attention to detail was in order.

    I still want a Gen 2 GTM. :)

  • I could build there cars right in my garage I have a paint booth and about 8 people who could or would love to build them..120% profit? we have a custom Barn with lots of floor area.

  • well, this will be my next car. no audi for me.

  • энджой

    watch?v=gJD9PWHtpXI

  • I'm one of the drivers of the Factory sponsered GTM. The worlds only race GTM that is currently being fielded. These cars are beyond fun to drive. You can see some of our in car videos by searching "durbin gtm" or just "myraceshop". These really are race cars that can be driven on the street!

  • Brilliant smooth design and power to beat everything on the road! Reliablity that the euro bunch will never achieve and cheap service costs. Need I say more....

  • ford Gt cost $40,000 r u serious??

  • @LEEzZzY121 Someone must have been talking about a Ford (Mustang) GT. If they are talking about a Ford GT they forgot the 1 in front of the 40,000. Plus if the GTM is built using the right parts it will stick right with the GT if not pass it. Now the GT will be worth more money in 20 years but I'm getting old and probably won't live that long, I want my fun now.

  • @pdqasapdamnit thanks for the reply and u are absolutely right. this car must be worth more money. it deserve that.

  • Building it yourself is part of the fun and enjoyment of owning one of these cars. Some people just don't get that, and that's fine, just don't put others down for it.

  • looks like it has a lot of body roll in the pictures. shitty suspension ruins a car no matter how powerful or lightweight it is

  • @mynock05 It doesnt have a shitty suspension. Its careless of you to make such a leap without ever even driving one. Its a C5 suspension and is solid and unwavering. The car is poetry in motion.

  • @MickScarborough your average modified civic could probably corner faster than this, i recently went up against one of these GTMs at a track day in my lotus...about a 3rd of the power but the gtm couldnt even get close to me

  • @mynock05 I'm hearing someone talk out their ass here. I just ordered my kit after being smoked by one of these several times at the track. The power to weight is excellent, the balance is perfect and it has just about a perfect center of gravity. I'll be glad when mine finally arrives and I can start assembly. Hope to have it on the road before November 2011, or sooner.

  • @pdqasapdamnit sounds like you just wasted a shit load of money on something that wont even be driveable when it arrives

  • @mynock05 Don't really recall asking your opinion bubba. But hey if you wanna drag out your Yugo once I finish this car i would be more than happy to race you. In other words put your money where your mouth is. Have you even looked at the performance specs on these cars with just an LS1 engine? An LS7 equiped GTM can best a car costing five times as much.

  • @pdqasapdamnit yeah, it can best it in looking, driving, and sounding like shit

  • @pdqasapdamnit Kit has arrived! Right now my shop floor is covered with parts and ready to install and boxes full of goodies from Factory Five. My first impulse is to jump in and start putting everything together but I'm going to fight the urge and take my time.

  • Comment removed

  • Is that a corvette LS7 i see in that????

  • can i drive a gtm without the body?, that would be so much fun

  • @jaywolflover yes you can, when you make it you dont have to put on the Shell but it would be suggested, if you want one for a pure track and naked look , check out the Ariel atom its amazing its super good for apex and just fucking amazing

  • By the way...

    This is at least in the top five of american supercars. If you want one, then o.k. If you're going to have one, you've got to really REALLY want one. That's where I am. I don't mind skinning an '04 'Vette for it at all. Look into it. Factory Five has made it pretty easy.

  • Well, if this is just a smash and grab pasted together bunch of bootleg photos with the first angelic solo you could find, I think you did o. k . with it. I copied it to my realplayer. Thanks for sharing!

  • this group of pics sucks sorry i watched.

  • I want one... I would love to build my own car... maybe after I get out of the military! I don't think I could part with a car I built.

    Especially a rocket sled that will net you to 60 in under 3.0 seconds(FF claim)...

    It even has speakers!!

    Sick video!

  • Intirior needs aluminum appoinments and some updated door panels

  • @3089280288 I have a friend who makes carbinfiber pieces and the plan is to have him make some replacement interior and exterior pieces for mine. It will save some wiegth but mostly be for looks.

  • @pdqasapdamnit show us the pictures later

  • @3089280288 I've restored two mustangs over the years but didn't think to take pictures from start to finish. I'm going to do my best to take pics of the entire build from start to finish and let my wife make me a photo album of it. Right now I'm bout to go crazy because the state brought six tractors to the shop for us to get ready for this years season and I'm down to one mechanic, one quite to go to work for Wal Mart, he was pretty lazy so didn't really lose much. Picturs coming soon

  • $50,000. its called an ariel atom and it will beat this thing around the track easily. plus you dont have to fuckin build it.

  • That is exactly why you are NOT a true car guy enthusiast. You are what we call a paper racer

  • @omegaslast The atom is a toy. What's that? You want to drive in the rain? Good luck. How about in the summer in Florida? No freaking way. No roof, no a/c, no stereo, and no creature comforts; the atom is just something you can take to the track. The gtm is a car you could potentially drive every day. Also, building it is half the fun, if you don't want to build a car why would you watch this or any other video about FFR.

  • @omegaslast WHAT??? Ariel Atom is a go cart with a 6cyl (8 cyl in 2100). No comparison one is a street exotic one is a super go cart. Try to drive cross country in a Atom and see if you are hungry at the end of the trip. You will be full because of all the bugs you ate on the trip.

  • @fincloser1230 yeah and if you think this is a grand tourer by any stretch of the imagination you must be joking yourself. Usually when you claim a car is bad for something, that means that the car youre defending is GOOD at that thing. This is definitely not anything beyond a car for joy rides/track (probably would get smoked by the ariel in that situation though)

  • @omegaslast No doors, no roof, no ac, no radio and a rough ride? Yes the Atom could beat the GTM around the track, unless the GTM is set up for strictly a track car. But for a $50,000 base price, thats base, the Atom is only good for track days or short trips on perfect sunny days. The GTM can be built to drive coast to coast while keeping the driver dry, comfortable and entertained ahile at the same time giving you the performance of a sports car cost $75,000 or more. Just what I want.

  • I wouldnt build a gtm amd sell it i would build it for myself to my DD and track day car. I already see myself buying some good racing rims amd slapping aome slicks on it. Road trips to play on all the us's great road corses! Woo

  • It's the Chevy GT-42! lol

  • whats the name of this song

  • what was the first car ?

  • @tacoman8200 lamborghini murcelago lp670 sv i think

  • @reggiemillerapimp @tacoman8200 its not a LP670 SV it looks more like the original murcielago because the SV's are two tone black and w.e colour u have and they say SV on the doors, and im pretty sure the LP... have single oval exhaust but not 100% on that

  • Elegent?

  • What's the name of the song?

  • just saying you can GET ALL THE PARTS YOU NEED and some nick naks like a radiator aluminum heads and cam intake manifold throttle body for 50000 or less if you want to be charged 50000 for factory five to do if for you then you must have alot of faith in that transaxle

  • hahahha they spelled elegant wrong.

  • hey i have a question, itz it possible to install a BMW M5 V10 5.5 liters engine with twin turbo on the GTM? and have space for a borla exhaust system?

  • @jayjayda1st your biggest problem there wont be fitting it in it will be getting a modified harness and ecu that works with the rest of GTM's systems... but in theory yes...

  • the factory five GTM will cost you a lot more than $40K by the time you finish it. be ready to spend at least $120K.

  • @ftldrdl

    nah, with an ls7 more like around $65k

  • if you dropped an Ls9 in that baby it would be a beast! and last longer then twin turbos.

  • dont like how they put 515 hp. it can actually be as much hp as your wallet will let you have. you can put up to 1000 hp with a twin turbo ls7 and a shot of happy juice(nos)

  • @mww88 that isn't true, im friends with a guy that ownes a shop that is building one right now and they are sitting at over 1200 hp

  • @DMon3y69 well see....there you go! i hope nobody pulls up next to him and drops a pink slip on a race against him.

  • I would rather have zr1 and pay a little more money!

  • GTM is the best bang for the buck u can shit all over lambos n enzos all day in it n if u put twin turbos on it it would shit all over the bugaytti and u could still have a nice house with a truck ta park it at

  • Dude, at 2:23, it's spelled *Elegant. And the Ultima GTR is better.

  • and atleast twice as much. for the power you get out of the GTMs, its worth the money. if you dont like it, then sell it and make a 120% profit off of it. Factory Five charges $50,000 just to put it together if you cant do it yourself.

  • I'd rather spend a little more and have world record performance, it's still a mega deal.

  • eh, im more of an automotive business type. I grew up with no money of my own so building a car and selling it for a huge profit is more important to me than driving the thing for a few years. id build one of these and put $50,000 into it and sell it for like $120,000. Since I do the labor myself that money is put into performance and making it as good as it can get. resulting in a $70,000 profit for one sale.

  • Business would be a good idea to get the GTM for, but I'm thinking about for driving, know what I mean? I'd be kinda depressed selling it after doing all the hard work, but it would make sense.

  • Yeah id be reluctant to sell it but $70,000 sounds really nice, which is 113% profit on it. if 4 people helped build it, thats $17,500 per person. That over twice as much as my parents have ever had in the bank at one time. haha. then with that id do smaller scale projects to get a few thousand at a time. I just need to fix up my current car and i can start doing that to pay for college.

  • Where do you find them selling for that much? It would suck to build it, only to find that nobody'll buy it.

  • wel if i made one it would have the LS9 engine with the G95 tranny and id program the timing myself to give this the acceleration of a bugatti veyron. I know how to do that. and i love doing it. so if someone wants real performance, thats where theyd get it.

  • No way, go for a twin turbo Rodeck on a 3 speed auto, you can get past 1100hp on that kind of setup, depending on how boost happy you get.

  • @BumbleBeeGS Is that including the donor corvette, the kit, and installation?

  • @alexhc09 The $50,000 is on top of the $20,000 for the kit i believe. So yeah. Or for that much more, it better. Lol

  • Little Dramatic,I'm sure that's the tone.I love the car. Along with Factory 5. Great first effort!! Be nice if you had more.

  • Good sound sync. Could have used a few more seconds to trail off better but Kudos.

  • i would really like stupid people posting that it would only cost 40k to build this to stop saying that. If you've done any research you know that it would take at least 60k to have it done well!!! unless you make it look like shit

  • not exactly. you can find a used donor corvette for less than 10k. if you find a crashed one, even cheaper. then paint will cost around 1k since all the body work is brand new, then you peice it together yourself add in the price of the porsche transaxle and the kit and you sit just around 33-34k so yeah, it does only cost about 40k. and that's over-doing it with 40k

  • whats the name of this song

  • this is the main theme for the movie requiem for a dream. you can google search the name of the song now from the soundtrack.

  • 9seconds flat , that's the thing. You built it yourself.

  • is that an LS2?

  • nope LS7 427 (7 liter) v8 cranking 505 hp and 460 tq

  • really wana build my own car

  • sond ???

  • he downside to the gtm, is fit and finish from factory 5...it stinks.

  • My Brother inlaw has built there Cobra kits along with his friends and they fit like a glove..the doors are equal at all corners and they are fast.

    I can't speak for the GTM but I would rather fly in the air, not no the road.

  • that is a good looking car. i have no idea what you're talking about but the FFR GTM looks great

  • spelled "elegant" wrong

  • what song is that??

  • requiem for a dream

  • MMprotopaintball20, Are you serous? just go buy a f'n vette! This car A: would get a lot more looks then a vette. B: it only weights 2250 lbs and would smoke a vette, C: I dont think you would get a new vette for $40000!

  • Now THAT'S what the 2010 Camaro should have Looked Like!! :D

    Only, the Back has to be made Nicer! :P

  • is this a gm car? the door handles look like the 98+ malibu, impala, intrege, etc

  • there the handles from a C5 corvette

  • really? they look simular to other chevys, thanks.

  • Love it! Nice song too, sets the mood just right. Ive been playing with the idea of starting one my self. They have a damn good apeal.

  • I want to put a nice electric engine in that.

  • what is this song? ive heard it before but have never ben able to find out the name. this car is so cool! I used to look at the ultima GTR for a while but now that this is out Ive totally forgotten the self built supercar from across the pond...

  • "Marion Barfs"

    The title sounds weird in english but it's in a different language.

  • I really want to order a kit someday.. Not now, but someday :D

  • just go buy a fucking corvette

  • this thing DESTROYS any corvette ever made! even the ZR1 that isnt out yet!!!!

  • 68lpc

    ahh really do you have every corvette and this car

    thybernoob

    ok no one knows or cares about this car if you went driving around in a vette you'd get twice as many looks as you would in this car.

    you want to know why? because people actually know about the legacy of the vette.

    Besides it's the driver not the car

    i bet you the stig could beat you in a volkswagon beetle when you're in a lamborghini Murcielago

  • look you dont have to be an ass. im not degrading the vette, its one of the best cars around, but this thing is down right better in performance. you cant argue that. the way it looks, thats debatable because thats all personal opion. go on factory five and look at the performance ratings! itll take a enzo to beat this thing! as for looks, this will get more because of the fact that noone knows what it is!!! everyone has seen a vette.

  • exactly!

  • thats the same reason why my bricklin gets more looks than anything elsa in my town and thats saying somethin since there are more than a few that r 100k+ and lot elsa and 4 my driving yeah ill admit that im not the greatest driver but its not all up to the driver most yes not all and dont think i dont know what i talking about because iv been working on cars sense i was 2! i know what im doing when it comes to cars so dont start insulting me until u have good enough reason to.

  • no man u wouldnt get more looks, for one single fact

    everyones tired of the vette

    for real u can go to CA and ull see

    about 20 grannys driving their corvettes in the freeway

    thats really boring

  • you would get wayyyy more looks in this car. hardly anyone on the road knows the difference between this car and a ferrari. you can see a vett every so often, this car... not so much.

  • yeah ok the thing you said about not knowing the difference between this thing and a ferrari the same thing could go with not knowing the diffence between a 350z and a porsche 911 people who don't know cars will also think that any thing that has a convertible top and 2 doors is a sports car. and leabuelo where are you basing this fact about everyone being tired of the vette you just made that up and a real driver would actually upgrade and tune their car to be the fastest they can make it

  • how much of the population is actually car enthusiasts? there's your answer. this looks more exotic than a corvette. now don't get me wrong, I love chevy and the corvette especially, but this is way more exotic than a normal corvette and it's quicker in acceleration and faster as well. the stock C5 was rated at 195 top speed, whereas this with the stock wheels from a vette will easily reach 200+

  • dude but for the population who did know wat kind of car that was u would like like a total dumbass it would almost be as bad as building a lamborghini lp640 replica and driving around in it like ur cool shit

    kit cars r 4 faggots take that money go buy a half way decent car

  • there's nothing else on the road that looks like the GTM supercar. and for it's price it will rape Porsche's, Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. look at track videos and you'll see that even with only a low horsepower engine such as an LS1 it does amazingly. Add in the LS7 and you've got a real beast there

  • if ur ever gonna buy a kit car get a fuckin ultima gtr

    it has the fastest 0-100-0 time in the world

    it has the fastest time around the top gear track that car is 20x the beast of this thing

  • the FFR GTM with a stock LS7 had a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds and a 1-100 time of 5.5 seconds. with a good driver on a good day you could have 0-60 in 2.8 and 1-100 in 5.2 easily. and with upgraded brakes and suspension peices this hting will blow the doors off an ultima GTR on the track and with that same stock LS7 the GTM had a quarter mile time of 11 flat. the ultima GTR didn't have the 1.05 skid pad G that the GTM has either

  • @ktmlover90 Can anyone tell me what is the car @ 0:52 seconds, is it an actual branded car model or just some design some guy without a license made for the fun of making his own car?

  • @Joel0277 it is actually a kit car the GTM supercar (actually has been tested to provide better performance than a corvette. what you need to do is buy the kit from FACTORY FIVE RACING, get a donor corvette engine, porsche transmission parts, and some other parts off of a donor corvette. Check out the kit at FACTORY FIVE's website, look for it on google. If you are not interested in building it, FACTORY FIVE will put it together for you for around 50k, it would be around 40k to do it yourself.

  • 0-60 in 3 seconds according to car and driver. For 40,000 I can settle being a half second behind a veyron.

  • Save for maybe the Lambo, I honestly think the GTM is better looking than any of those other exotics.

  • yo can get that for 20 grand but you have to build it

  • yes, but here's the catch.. they say, oh, a supercar for 19,900.. but, there is an engine missing, the transaxle, all those little bits and pieces.. but to be honest, I wouldn't mind even 40 grand...

  • where did u get the body shell?

  • The LS7 is a 427ci engine; that doesn't mean it's a big block; it's still a small block, but with forged rods, crank and titanium pistons.

  • looks like a Ford GT in the front and Saleen S7 in the back kinda

  • i agree.. i think factory five is the american companies getting together to kick the rest of the worlds butt in car racing

  • you should have it so its from highest to lowest

  • what the hell is the deal with the music, the sound of leaving a phone off the hook is less annoying

  • ... imagine that with a ford GTX1 engine.... or a V10 viper engine

  • are u dumb? its a GM! throw a turbo lsx in there with 1200hp and that would be insane. Heck that 500hp is fast enough

  • They wouldn't fit chevys are smaller and make just as much power.

  • ... not the ls7.. its fucking big!!..

  • inside the outside dimensions are the same

  • then a GTX1 engine would fit?

  • The LS7 is way more efficient. If you want more power, all you have to do is cam it. The V10 in the viper is too damn heavy.

  • meh i agree... i don't like the Viper V10... but a cobra jet or a 600HP 351W or sumthin would be nice.. or a cobra R engine... its lighter weight and gets 400HP without the S/C... imagine it with an S/C and a proper tune :-P

  • Imagine a cammed and head worked LS7 with a S/C. Now that's power. Not to mention the car weighing a little over 2k. There is no way a big ass modular engine is lighter than an all aluminum LS motor. S/C or not.

  • go Lingenfelter motor. 800hp+ with tranny 13k or 1000hp all mods $19k add that to base price push car up to bout $55k-60k and dominate everything on the road! of course how much hp is too much? i say there can never be too much! hahahahahaaa =-)

  • im with you on that one!!!

  • I'm thinking of building this car but I'm not very car-saavy, what is the cheapest I can buy a 600hp engine for it, prederably under 10,000? I want to build it for $40,000 or less because I haven't got 60,000 to spend on over priced engine and parts not included.

  • your better off buying a used C6 Z06 $43,000 and you'll never notice a performance difference

  • imagine this with a 1300hp Lingenfelter twin turbo LS7...

  • will smoke every car including the veyron

  • god imagine it with just a veyron engine a veyron weighs as much as a gd tank lol

  • Yeah, BECAUSE of the engine itself

  • People, there is a company that builds these GTM. alanautosports . com Thats the name of the company. They put 1000 hp engins into these things and build them to your liking!! My dad got one built for him. It cost hime 130grand but it goes from 0-60 in 2.7 sec and has 900 hp.

  • requim for a dream - mozart

  • BADASS!!!!!!!!

  • talk about LS7 power....

  • what is the name of the music??

    ive heard it on a few movie previews and cant put the name to it.

  • I love the car and the music too!

  • nice car but... my dream car... 1992 R32 skyline gtst with a BR26dett twin turbo engin swich costs around $8000-$12000 (depending on the conditions and the ac, power windows etc etc) + modds (~$10000-$20000) can get up to 600+hp, 360+km/h, all for ~ 32000... xxxxD im wayyy off topic arnt i xxxxD

  • Really? You would rather pay 32000 for a car that is used/beaten, that looks like a civic's cousin. The R32 weighed 3146 pounds.

    The GTM Supercar is 100% new. The GTM Supercar weighs 2250 pounds. That is almost 1000 pound weight difference.

    Power to Weight Ratio

    2250 pounds/ 515 hp = 4.36 lb/hp

    3146 pounds/ 700 hp = 4.49 lb/hp

    Close, but the GTM tears it apart, aerodynamic, power/weight ratio, looks, ... everything.

  • my dad, my bro, and myself are thinking of getting and building one of these. they are gorgeous.

  • this a great car at a great price, 2nd generation GTM will be even better

  • OK, I gotta jump in... Check the website, guys. Some C5/C6 Corvette suspension pieces are used in this car. Notice the tendency of owners to use Corvette wheels. Leaf springs-Corvettes still use them to this day! They are not the backbone of the suspension, though. One in the front, one in the rear, mounted transverse. I can't possibly explain it, but they serve a purpose.

  • The car uses koni coilovers along with the c5 suspension. It doesn't use the old school transverse leaf setup

  • That's why I said SOME C5/C6/Whatever pieces are used. I didn't mean to imply that the entire set-up is used. I was explaining two separate, but related, topics.

  • awesome video! u should end it with a clip of the car blasting past a camera

  • Yeah the cars are gorgeous, but who wants a vehicle that's uses pop rivets to hold it together? The interiors are sub-par and the fitment of all the pieces is terrible. There is talk of a company who's building them right though.

  • Pop Rivets compared to what? the shotty spot welds utilized by the mainstream manufacturers? besides, the interior can be as nice as you want since you are building it yourself.

  • Yeah, it's a kit car. The way you put it together and the way it looks is all up to you. That other guy is talking about it like it's a regular production car.

  • as far as the video- I usually don't like a video with pictures, but this was very well put together. good job, but try to incorporate more video clips

  • My dad has a factory five MK3 roadster (still in the making) and i think he has around $20,000.00 in it. Aprox.

  • car is ok but the frontend is huge, way too long, way too fat. and if you use those leaf springs from the vette then that sux too.

    other than that its nice.

  • The car comes with its suspension not the crappy leafsprings. The car isn't ok...its AMAZING. My dad and I built one together.

  • Good, I was hoping that. But the frontend is too large, i've photoshoped it and can look alot better. like ALOT better. How does it handle compared to a vette or something alse comparable.

  • WHY DO YOU THINK THAT CORVETTES USE LEAF SPRINGS? Dude, they haven't used leaf springs since the last year of 2nd-gen 'vettes, the 1963 Corvettes!

  • funny, i just looked under a C5 vette the other day. what do you know leaf springs.

    my friend built a civic with vette drivetrain.

    leaf spring there too. in the front anyway.

    he used the coilover from he's wrecked lotus on the rear. maybe you should read up a lil more before trying to jump somebodys shit.

    oh ya vids of that civic are on the youtube.

    so dont tell me that cant be done either.

  • We must have fucked you guys over HARD!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! If you guys have leaf springs under your Corvettes, then the joke's on you! HA!
