[halosapien1]

40,000 to do it by yourself

[romancarpet]

Lol

[5959512]

you spent 75k on this! fucking idiot

[jjrimz99]

IS THIS A REPLICA

????????????????????????

[scaryGTM]

@jjrimz99 This isn't a replica; it's a Factory Five GTM. If anything, it 'borrows' front end styling from the GT-40, but it's still an original car. This is possibly one of the best-designed self-build cars available - the chassis will handle pretty-much any powerplant you care to put in there, & so long as the builder pays attention to quality, fit and finish, you'll end-up with a car which is better and more impressive to drive than almost any other production vehicle costing many times more.

[yungprototype]

man this is one nice ride a one off super car that looks better than a lambo,ferrari,porshe and a vette and will blow the doors off of one to lovin it please keep us posted out here I been following this build for a while

[sprydo7]

Powered by...TECATe'

[shadowblack1987]

That engine sound... sucks so much........ :(

[shadowforce9]

listen to what im saying i have research on every part and found a site with ls7 engine and im thinking about modifying the engine with a fast intake and throttlebody will add 20bhp and heads and cam will add 100 plus the intake filter im looking at around 650bhp if you diy it you will have a $50000 project these is including c6 z06 brakes new Aluminum Radiator porsche transaxle plus everything else for less than $50,000 you will be making more horsepower 0-60 top speed claims higher

[KirkEvil]

Hows the head room, it looks like you get pretty close to the roof bar?

[kjoatesjrlo]

cool car dude

[Rotorzilla]

do you think a 20B 3 rotor would fit?

[elboricualuny]

i see a starlet back there...rotary mayb?...lol..congrats on the gtm

[112namrepus]

Did you get that brown interior from Factory Five? or did you get it from someplace else?

[romancarpet]

it's the f 5 interior with some upgrades, i e the brown leather

[afshin3]

love your car bro

[plv182]

Awesome car. What is the name of the bachata song though??? :)

[angurisloud]

"Not bad for a Motherf*cker from Specail Ed".... yeah, not bad at all- final photos show that this car is a work of art!

[mww88]

dang finding a front glass for these things is a bitch aint it? got any info?

[Sarcastimus]

I'd like to know if you've had a chance to drive it yet in reference to engine noise in the cockpit, how loud is it? Comfortable to drive? Long distances? Any storage or cargo space? And how easy was it to put the body on? I'm a former mechanic so i'm not worried about the actual build just body and paint. Boss car btw!

[romancarpet]

yes, it's a great time. it took about a year and a half but that wasn't working on it full time. it cost about 70k, there is nothing like driving one.

[ACE2CATTACLIZZM]

Doesnt the kit only cost $19,000? So it took $70,000 to build this one?

[romancarpet]

the kit with ac cost 22k plus tax. the doner car 9k, the trans $4,500.00, body work and paint done right 9k, custome interior $3,500.00, rims 6k, sound system 3k, and lets not forget about labor, just so we are clear this car cost over 75k to build. just so you know everyone i talked to spent about what i did or more.

[lastmondaypast1]

and you can really skim that price down if you dont spend so much on random stuff you can buy for cheap, if your on a budget.

[KarelYalek]

@romancarpet

it doesn't look bad, but for 70 k, i would buy brand new porsche cayman spider

[fred1671]

@romancarpet Do we get a copy of that wonderful CD for the $70K?

[snipinggod29]

@romancarpet about how many hours do you have in the GTM to get it to where it is in this video?

[fourth1000]

is the guy working on the car really tall? It looks like a micro machine when he climbs out.

[porscheowns16]

I was wondering if you could have someone else build it for you how much that might cost ?

[camocamel3]

Would you recommend building one? How long and how much did the total build cost included the new interior? I am looking into starting on one and just want a honest opinion

[romancarpet]

soy de salinas, y tu?

[Jerseyboricua40]

de aguada

[Jerseyboricua40]

my partner wants to go with the ls9 engines i told him it will be to much i have an ls6 that has acam and hed package about 500hp i think that is nice we have a connection for all the donor parts the g50 tran we can get them for 1200 does this help with the total cost we will be staying in touch for advise hope it wont be a bother suave

[romancarpet]

you right the ls9 is to much i think but it will look bad ass in there. if you can get the g50 and the engine for cheap you just saved your self 14k, i paid 9k for the donner and 48 for the trans from la porche. so you are strait besides that the paint and rims are the next biggest expense

[Jerseyboricua40]

eddie the car is hot me and my boy r about 60 days from getting our kits and their is no shame in asking for advise wat is the most hp you think this car can handle we r going to do this at our pace and our taste i have a pretty nice vette and i luv cars and would like to have another unique car u seem tobe a cool dude willing to give advice and suggesstion hopefully their will be a couple more boricuas being hated on cuz of the car

[romancarpet]

they come with the kit ,we added the brown leather.

[Draken8]

awesome, they look great with that.

[Draken8]

The interior looks excellant, are those seats the ones that come with the kit or did you pick different ones?

[Garundak]

How much does it cost a second hand one.?

[romancarpet]

they sell for around 100k finished, it all depends on the finish, but there bare some selling for as low as 80k with under 5 thousand miles. if i sold mine i would ask 90k

[dalejrfan800]

or you could build one yourself for about $40,000 for the finished product... much cheaper. They're not that hard to put together. there's an instruction manual

[Garundak]

man the thing with building stuff is that u set the bar for 40.000 then.. it can easy go to more. so i like the look but i would never build one my self haha i work as a CNC machine programer. i know how to build but is much more easy to just buy one haha nice car btw

[romancarpet]

old car, he loves to build low riders with hyrolic and he does everthing on them, me i use to work on cars when i was young so i still can turn wrenches and i good with electrical systems. With this nohow we were able to build this car. The reason he says it took 1 year to build and 2 years of his life was because at that point we had just got over a huge problem with build. let me know if you have any questions.

[leon323]

so is that ffr gtm a kit car that you build ?

[romancarpet]

yes, you can go to factory five racing and get all the info on the kit.

[leon323]

thanks, have you build one befor ? im asking because im thinking about getting one but the guy in the video sed it took 2 years of his life and 1 year to build

[romancarpet]

yes, the one you are looking at in the video. My friend and i built it. i work full time so he worked on it all most full time. you can do alot your self, but there are things you

[romancarpet]

need people to help you with. It is a very difficult build if you have never built a car before, i would not recomend this be your first car. My friend in the video works on

[leon323]

ya thats what sucks cause i know i could do the mechanics on it, but i never tryed doing body work in my life so i might have to get a friend for that.

[puyunet]

Rock on!

[romancarpet]

i don't know what you mean. what kit

[cook0524]

could i call you guys in regaurds to building a kit myself?i am interested in building one for myself.not shure if building one is over my head.

[romancarpet]

do you have the kit

[losborachos09]

i seen this car in person at the boston car show and it won best in its class and about it being hacked up i dont know about that because this is one bad ass car

[romancarpet]

call me, my name is eddie 401 265 2962

[ridezgtm]

you must sell lots of windows

[ShaggyGT]

+1, the redular GTM interior is pretty bad. Some leather on the dash makes it more supercar-like.

[pyrocoyote1]

nice interior!
