THIS VEHICLE HAS SOLD! Backing six liters of all-American small block with a composite body, five forward gears, a Corvette suspension and custom leather hides, this ferocious Factory Five GTM is sure to give any red-blooded car enthusiast a case of white knuckles! Factory Five Racing has long been applauded for their great composite work, and this GTM is no exception. The car’s profile, trimmed on a 5-axis RTP-Fanuc robot, is a hand-laid Vinylester shell that’s been laminated to 3/16ths and covered in a .015-inch gel coat. That gel lays excellent groundwork for wet looking 2-stage, which, while it appears blue, is officially called BMW Carbon Black Metallic. The car’s taut profile, produced in 2006 and titled upon its 2011 inspection, was massaged and sprayed by Anthony Kutas of Dents Charlotte. And, since debuting from its $156K custom build in late 2015, this coupe has traversed a scant 30 miles. Nothing is more American than a spry Chevy small block. Lift the car’s sculpted deck and you’ll find the forerunner to virtually all the technology still featured in Chevrolet sports cars: GM’s potent Gen IV LS2. The rowdy mill utilizes 364 cubic inches to twist buff 10.9 to 1 compression into an even 400 horsepower and 400 lb./ft. of Oak-shaking torque. Behind that lightweight powerplant, a Porsche G50 transaxle employs a limited-slip differential and custom ratios to achieve a final drive. Turns come courtesy of a manual steering rack, which leads a fifth-generation Corvette suspension that’s balanced, weight-tuned, fitted with anti-roll bars and finished with custom-tuned Genesis coil-overs. Stops come courtesy of sixth-generation Corvette Z06 binders. All that proven track prowess rolls on 1-piece CCW C2Ks, which twist sticky Michelin Pilot Sports. And, naturally, this custom’s custom interior is every bit as nice as its lightweight shell. Ready for a little seat time in an uncompromising thrill machine? Call, click or visit !
