Factory Five Racing GTM
Factory Five Racing sent out 4 of their team members with the GTM Supercar powered by the all aluminum LS7 427 big block. With a car weighing under 2000lbs and having 505hp it proved to be “scary” fast. I should know, I went along to do in car recordings. I put my life on the line so you the listener can see what it’s like to be in a supercar at well over 130mph. We recorded the GTM at an airport in north west Massachusetts and ran out of runway before reaching top speed, which I think would have been far north of 150mph.
The GTM is a component car the you can build from the FFR kit and the drive-train from a C5 Corvette. This one, being a 427 had remarkable torque. To learn more about building your own GTM visit the Factory Five Racing website.
