Sweet! I've never seen a Factory Five car on the road that I'm aware of. I'm sure at least one or two of the Cobras I've passed have been their kits, but they're so good I couldn't tell.
Once I get a proper garage, I'm building the 33 Hot Rod
http://www.factoryfive.com/hotrodhome.html
The kit is about $20,000, and it literally comes with EVERYTHING short of the engine and transmission, wheels and tires, and paint. Full Koni coilover suspension, full interior... For $30,000, I could build it EXACTLY as I want it. Their cost sheet shows it at closer to $40,000... but I'd probably cut corners on certain things (like the fuel injection system they mention is $4000... I'll probably find a way to make a junkyard setup work!)

Yea I have seen 4 Cobras over the past 2 years around this area. I am sure at least one has to be a Factory Five.
I couldn't get a pic of the GTM as I was driving right next to it. The thing was really really low, holy shit. The roof of the car was at mid window level to my Lancer.
Couldn't get a good shot of the front end, only a side mirror shot. I actually saw him about 3 weeks ago right near my work coming out of a Dairy Queen parking lot. At first glance I thought it was a Ford GT but the rear end was way too different.
After seeing the back end I knew it was a kit car....then seeing it today confirmed that for me.VIP Status.Comment
