understatement of the yearexcept for select running gear parts taken from a late model 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette
and [...] handling/braking derived from the Chevrolet Corvette C-5
In a world where thundering Supercars routinely crest 3500 lbs, the track-tested and tuned 2350 lb. GTM is a refreshing return to sportscar fundamentals. Factory Five lightning strikes with a hp/wt ratio similar to that of a Daytona Prototype. With a stock LS7 powerplant, the car maintains a 4.8 lbs per hp ratio. Connected to the pavement via huge 335 series rear tires, it enjoys acceleration numbers better than almost any production vehicle on the road today.
The GTM is faster 0-60 mph than a Ferrari Enzo, a Porsche GT, a Saleen Twin Turbo S7, a Ford GT, and a Lamborghini Mucielago*! The GTM even beats out a Champ car to 60 mph! **
0-60 in 3.0 seconds! 0-100 in 6.6 seconds!¼ mile in 11.0 seconds @ 132 mph!
But a Supercar isn’t just defined by acceleration. The GTM’s ultra-stout, ultra light space frame chassis and deep breathing LS Series V-8 power combine with modern suspension and brake components to deliver Supercar performance in braking and roadholding as well.
The GTM stops and turns just as fiercely or moreso than the rest of the Supercar gang. With stock Corvette brakes, the GTM slows to a stop from 70 mph in only 166 feet, outbraking the mighty $157,000 Ford GT. That was STOCK Corvette brakes, not $30,000 carbon/ceramic.
Want roadholding? The GTM turns faster than it falls thru the air. Car and Driver measured a phenomenal 1.05 lateral G on street DOT tires. To put that in context, the Ferrari Enzo is the only car that matches it!
The car is light and aerodynamic, with excellent weight distribution and precise race-car handling/braking derived from the Chevrolet Corvette C-5. The car uses potent GM LS series engine power and Corvette suspension/brakes with Koni brand coil-over shocks and a Porsche 911 transaxle to get the job done.
Uhhhh....yes.
If our company doesn't go on strike in Feb, Tom is getting one....or an NSX...but I think he's leaning towards the GTM
I dont like it, but if it does what they say it can and can be had for $20K, Ill take one.
lol, not even close...just the kit is 20k
you need to buy the LS7 crate engine about 13k, tranny, gears, paint job etc....
you do get however the full interior gauges, chassis, body etc
going on strike in the middle of a recession doesnt seem like a good idea to me...
that's unions for ya. frigging gay.
i'd rock a GTM. with a ls7 in it, and no leaf springs.
