Just saw this car or similar one go across the auction block at Barrett Jackson and found it very interesting ..checked out their website company is called a Factoty Five. Please share thoughts.

I wonder..
  • uses corvette parts like suspension and engine
  • fast as hell
  • already tested
  • already mid-engine
could this be the inspiration for the new C8???

Am I reaching too far?

SLC makes one, a bit more pricey but it's basically a Le Mans car (road legal)

Not a fan of the GTM. I think the SLC is a much nicer kit if you’re going the kit car route.
