Custom built supercar - Factory Five’s GTM component kit, with Porsche G50-20 Transaxle inverted and mated to GM’s LS376 with an estimated 480 Hp. Weighing in at a paltry 2300 lbs, (4.7 lbs per Hp!) the nose would feel as though it was about to lift off the ground, under full throttle!
I owned this car between 2012 and 2016. I didn’t build it, but bought it directly from its east coast builder, who built it in 2007.
Nothing would turn heads like this car. It was LOUD and there was minimal sound deadening between the Kooks headers and inside of the thin firewall. No power steering and sporting a notchy 5-speed, it sat so low that you’d only see other people’s door handles from the sides!
I eventually put the car up for sale at the Mecum auction in Anaheim. It didn’t reach my reserve but I met a guy there who ended up buying it.
