No, I'm not...someone just posted a discussion on this in the last few weeks. You might find it with search. There were some interesting images and comments as I recall.
I think they'd have a neat power to weight ratio, but it's not on my list of gotta haves...
...and before someone else mentions it...

I'm on this forum almost everyday but don't remember seeing it. The GTM uses many pieces from the C5 so really it's right at home on the C5 forum.
I saw a video on youTube were the GTM was basically owning the track with other supercars on it. If I recall correctly, it was using the LS6 engine.

It will cost you about $40K including the kit and the donor C5. The kit itself cost $20K so the final price really depends on what you can get the C5 parts for plus how much work you outsource for the body and interior. The body shell is fiberglass so it will need some work to make perfect.

Anyone that has seen one in person ( or preferably sat in one ), they mention comfort level for people up to 6'3". My question is, could a 6'4 1/2 person drive it as a weekend car?

There's one local to me w/ a stock LS1 in it... it's a huge POS because the builder is making it one.
With the right skill, time, tools, etc you can make them aweome. That's the problem with a kit car... the final outcome is only as good as the person building it. So... some are **** and some are awesome.
That said.. I'm 6'4" and couldn't even dream about fitting in it.

You'll have to find one to sit in... for me it's a fit issue, not a slight discomfort issue. I physically cannot fit in the car... it doesn't have the space for a tall person. The seat is allready a custom bucket to provide maximum space so ther's no help there w/ some sort of custom piece.
