The race electric cars are coming and they are way faster then this cars ..........

but for 50,000 you have a car, with cheap and reliable LS3 and 500 hp and 2400lbs will blow any super car into the weeds.Put a turbo on that LS3 and you have a reliable 600hp at low boost.

@hdidane00 Yes - but you'll have to budget carefully and do most everything yourself. It's possible to do it in the mid-late 40s if you budget VERY carefully. Start with a junker Vette and use its LS1. 350Hp is plenty in a GTM, but you can always tune it up later and get the power of a LS6 and beyond. Use as much as you can off the Vette - motor, wheels, brakes etc., and don't pay too much for it. Stray off that path and you'll easily spend more.... Good luck.

@scaryGTM with the kit and every part need total?
-
@hdidane00 about 50,000
-
wonder how much that one cost to build
-
@NehpetsK57 its one of my 10 year goals to have a GTM, and i WANT to build it myself just to say i did. but, that said, you can still buy these already built as well. they go all the time on corvette forums, factory five forums, and ebay.
-
@NehpetsK57 I have a difficult time believing you can afford either one.
-
@originaldriver You could be right about Grand Touring Midship... I'm not sure - makes sense though.

@Lukeschedel The Malan part is added by a shop which builds GTMs, and you get 'Malan' when you add 'Alan' to GTM - 'Alan' as in 'Alan Autosports'. The car is a Factory Five GTM, and "GTM" stands for whatever Factory Five say it stands for.
more like the hard working man's ferrari. this car is for guys with the balls enough to make it, the majority of ferrari owners only have the car to compensate for lack of genitalia
