That's really cool. I had no idea road going versions of those cars existed. I thought they were only GTP cars.

I agree Trey. Short of an F40/50 this is as close to a production racecar chassis as it gets. it has a leather interior, so not quite as hardcore as a the Ferrari, but still does 0 - 60 in 2.6 seconds.

Ron, Fran at RCR has a 962 replica. It isn't advertised on his site, probably because he only sells it as a "track car," meaning if you want it to be street legal you have to make sure it has the right lights, signals, windshield, etc. I know a lexan windshield wouldn't stop you, so it wouldn't be that difficult to build one and drive it on the street. From what I understand it is based on a widened SLC chassis. Imagine how it would go with a 440 LS7 with a set of All pro heads, LS Next block and, well it would need an ultra lightweight billet crank.

Hmmmm, i'm really thinking of a Factory Five GTM for my next build. Thinking, thinking.....would really like to drive one first. But 0-60 in 3.0 with a stock LS-3....got me, well...thinking. Did i mention i'm thinking about it? haha...

Oh, and for about 7% of the cost, course it has no where near the refinement of a Ferrari or the like but hey....
