Default Who builds C6 GT2s ?

Considering a new track toy. Are they built exclusively by Pratt & Miller or GM or are there many more builders ?

Thanks

Pratt & Miller or LG Motorsports are your only 2 choices so far it appears. Be prepared to spend up tho...

The LG car is for sale and should save you big $$$ over building one. Their car was built by Riley and would cost you over half a mil if you wanted Riley to build you one.

I've heard $600,000 for a GT2 C6.R from P&M, compare that to $950,000 for a GT1 C6.R....

Ask P&M if they'll sell you a 2010 or 2009 chassis, might be cheaper.

If you want a ***** to the wall track toy, you should consider the Doug Rippie Motorsports RTR car. It is a ground up build with all the good stuff. Costs + of - $150K depending on exactly how you spec it out. Here is the link -- http://dougrippie.com/?p=554 This car has to be just about the best bang for the buck out there.

i can vouch the DRM RTR Car is an awesome track bang for the buck and they will do it up however you like. Seen it run in person and it is an animal!

How about this for an affordable, fast track toy.

My car builder has been contracted to build a tube frame, composite body 2010 Camaro with built LS3, Jerico tranny & 9" ford rear end and
Nascar cup brakes. 2600# plus driver.

Cost for the roller with tranny, around 25K, customer is going to supply motor and CCW wheels.

Body is similar to the type used in the Camaro Cup in Europe.
