GTM Supercar“The Fastest Car You Will Ever Build in Your Garage” Car & Driver Magazine

My name is David Smith, President and owner of Factory Five Racing. Formore than fifteen years we have been at the forefront of the component car in-dustry with our famous roadsters and coupes. In fact today, if you see an ACreplica out on the road, it is most likely a Factory Five. While the satisfaction ofthat accomplishment is tremendous, we wanted to make our own original de-sign.

The risks of designing our own supercar were huge. Automotive history hasmany examples of small companies whose reach exceeded their grasp. Com-panies like Tucker, Bricklin, DeLorean, Vector, and others had great ideas, butlacked the resources to fully execute. So with great care and planning, we de-signed the GTM over the process of five years.

We designed the GTM because we wanted to. We wanted to build this carwhen we were in fourth grade drawing pictures of cars while Mrs. Johnson wasdroning on about long division. We designed the GTM as a direct challenge topeople like Ferrari dealers, who with manicured fingernails and straight facescharge people a premium to be on a waiting list, to join an exclusive club ofunfriendly people who rarely drive their cars. We designed the GTM out of realpride, patriotism, and conceit. We wanted to show the world what we were trulycapable of and we wanted to build a car that would kick everyone else’s arse.

In hind sight, I don’t know what I was so worried about. The car has come to symbolize Factory Five’s technological abilities.The car runs with the very fastest supercars on the planet and it looks even better. Every time I drive my GTM, I say to myself,“My gosh! I forgot how fast this car is.”

Dave SmithPresident

The original Gen 1 GTM launched in 2006. The

revised Gen 2 model was released in 2010.

Modern computer-designed frame jig, and certifiedwelders make sure each frame is made right. Ad-vanced robotics add efficency to components.

The chassis assembly area is where the weldedframes meet formed aluminum panels and gel-coated composite bodies to be mounted for shipping.

ManufacturingRight Materials, Made Right, Here in the USA

While our talented engineering staff uses advanced computer CAD designs right upfront, our manufacturing team finishes the job by using the right materials, toolsand training to build a better part. Not only does Factory Five lead the componentcar industry in engineering technology, we set the bar just as high in manufacturing.

The GTM Supercar is made in the same facility and by the same people who makethe Roadster chassis parts. We’ve successfully built over 7,500 Roadster and morethan 400 GTM chassis. Our chassis and composite body parts are made right herein the USA with American labor and shipped from our factory in New England, notTaiwan or South Africa!

The end result of all this work is that this most American of cars is made by Ameri-can craftsmen using the right tools, the right materials, the right way.

The GTM Kit - $20,990The GTM Supercar kit is engineered to be built by a car guy at home with regular tools.The GTM kit gives you everything you need to build your car, except for select runninggear parts taken from a 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette and a transaxle. The majorCorvette parts include the engine, front and rear control arms, suspension/brakes, andfuel tanks. The transaxle used is a Porsche 911 unit or a Mendeola 5 speed.


Aluminum Chassis PanelsAluminum Under Glass

The Factory Five GTM uses an ultra-strong space frame and isjoined by a matrix of aluminum sub-frame panels to completea true race-car construction.

Built on the strong foundation of this tough chassis is a fourcorner coil-over shock suspension with unequal length controlarms and massive Corvette brakes. The composite body restson top of this chassis and is a separate unstressed assembly.

The entire cockpit, front under bonnet area, engine bay, and splash guards aremade from CNC precision-cut 6061-T6 aluminum.

“...the car trips to 60 MPH in three secondsflat and clears the quarter-mile in 11.0 sec-onds at 132 miles per hour. And that, amigos,is quicker than a Porsche Carrera GT, a Ferrari599 Fiorano, and a Z06 Corvette.”

Larry WebsterTechnical Editor

The GTM Supercar: What Other People SayThe Factory Five GTM has been tested & written about extensively. From it’s debut in Car &Driver Magazine to episodes on The Powerblock, the car has earned high marks.

“I was enamored with the GTM’s power-to-weight ratio, exemplary road manners and han-dling composure, reasonably comfortable interior, and down right sexy looks. Factor in theafforable entry price and the reliable C5 mechanicals and the GTM becomes a refreshinglysimple, atainable, and even practicle alternative to today’s mainstream supercars.” -Corvette Magazine

“Fitted with a 400 HP LS6 engine, it goes balistic in a blink, rocketing 0-60 in 3.2 seconds...Corvette brakes bring the GTM to a clencing hault in only 111 feet from 60 MPH. Street tiresdeliver 1.05 Gs on the skid pad.” - Vette Magazine

“...if you even look at the gas pedal, it will flatten your face in an instant.” - Rob Kinnan,Hot Rod Magazine

“Perhaps the best part of the GTM is that after blowing off pedigreed cars during a track day,the owner can make a boast no one else can: ‘I built it.’” - Car & Driver Magazine

The GTM chassis has the highest torsional

rigidity of all Factory Five frames and was de-

signed/tested in CAD and in the real world.

GTM Supercar FrameModern Design and Engineering

Front nose, doors and rear

hatch all hinge from frame,

NOT fiberglass body.

Front and rear energy

absorbing crumple zones

help protect occupants.

At the very core of the GTM Supercar is a computer designed,ultra-rigid space-frame. The frame is made of mig-welded, highstrength mild carbon steel tubing and plate steel. This specialdesign incorporates a low center of gravity, high torsional rigidity,and solid safety features that delivers true supercar performancein a safe and secure vehicle design.

CAD designed/ultra-rigid chassis: The GTM frame was the first Fac-

tory Five design to fully utilize SolidWorks CAD software. The chas-

sis, welding jig, cut list, bill of materials, and strength testing were

all performed on the computer before parts were made.

In-house manufacturing controls help maintain quality and repro-

ducibility. For example, our welders all use the same Millermatic™

250 MIG welding machines. Standardized equipment is part of a

comprehensive quality manufacturing program.

Our welded parts are made in

the USA with American labor.

Pre-welded hinge and latch points,seat belt mounts, shift linkage, steer-ing rack/column, and pedal box as-sembly make your build a bolt-onexercise.

Tubular steel space-frame design incor-

porates full roll cage, side impact pro-

tection, and backbone construction for

exceptional strength.

Pre-welded engine, transmission,

and suspension mount points are

ready for bolt-on C5 Corvette run-

ning gear.

The foundation of the GTM is a sophisticated

space-frame. The frame is delivered com-

pletely welded as shown here powdercoated

gloss black.

Side impact protection includes

steel door frames (not shown)

and DOT door latches.

The Factory Five GTM frame is computer

designed on Solidworks™ software using

Hewlett Packard workstations. ®®

Removable rear transmission mount (notshown) bolts to rear frame and makestransmission changes easy on completedvehicle.

Flat steel floor pans complimentsheet aluminum to deliver aerody-namic undercarriage.

Mid-engine design: The GTM chassis benefits from being amid-engine design with a low center of gravity and excellentweight distribution. By utilizing a mid-engine layout, the engi-neering team was able to increase cockpit space with this idealchassis/engine layout.

We’ve already proven the GTM suspension in conditions more demanding than you everwill. We’ve competed in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill for more than 5 years. The GTM wasdeveloped and tested on the racetrack, at the dragstrip, at autocrosses, and ultimately inthe real world out on the streets.

The complement to a lightweight and rigid chassis is a well developed suspension. Ourengineering team applied the lessons they learned developing and racing in the FactoryFive Challenge Series to design a world-class suspension for the GTM.

We selected the tough and lightweight aluminum Corvette control arms and matched themto proprietary FSD* coil-over shocks and springs developed with the team at Koni Shocks.The FSD KONIs deliver razor sharp handling at modest speeds, while maintaining Super-car manners at Supercar pace.

Suspension/BrakesCompetition Capable and Fully Streetable

*FSD or frequency selective damping is the latest patented technology from KONI,specifically designed to deliver the ultimate in road holding AND comfort.

Interior/Engine BayComfort and Control. Bridge Between Man & Machine.

The GTM kit comes with a complete interior including, sportseats, carpeting, headliner, roll cage covers, covered inte-rior panels, door panels, engine cover, rear bulkhead, dashassembly, carbon fiber dash face, complete gauge set, anddirectional vents for heating and cooling. Covered interiorpieces contrast with the carbon fiber gauge pod and func-tionally elegant layout of the interior.

For a car that is only 42” high, the cockpit space is remark-able. Sitting in the car you’ll find a large and quiet cockpitwith good front and rear visibility and modern temperaturecontrols. Following a careful entry and exit, you’ll findhead-room, legroom and front/rear visibility that is surpris-ingly well executed. An elegant and simple interior focusesthe driver on the serious job at hand.

The GTM interior is simple and func-tional communicating the car’s pure per-formance mission.

Above: The GTM is designed to accept GM LS series engines. From the proven 350 HPLS1 to the potent 430 HP LS3s and 500+ HP LS7s.

GTM Supercar Body/Exterior American Performance Automotive Art

No matter how fast a sports car is, it has to look good. The GTM has puresupercar lines. Low, menacing and powerful… Those are the words thatcome to mind when one sees the GTM in person for the first time. But lookshave to support function. That’s why we developed this shape in the windtunnel and at speed on countless racetracks over a process of five years.

Gen 2 hood vents improve cooling

and contribute significanly to

downforce.

The GTM curb weight is a remarkable 2,350 lbs.

The combination of low wieght, high HP, and

ultra rigid chassis delivers supercar performance.

Wind Tunnel Proven: The shape of the GTM was aerodynamic tested at the Lan-

gley AFB wind tunnel and the Boeing Aircraft windtunnel. Every part we sell, in-

cluding front and rear spoilers, rear diffuser, under-car aluminum sheeting,

front hood vents, and functional roof scoop were optimized for safe down force.
