Factory Five Racing

We went here to pick up a race car kit that was just purchased. Upon our arrival, we were immediately greeted by a very nice man that seemed excited we were there. We asked about getting a factory tour, and were brought back right away. He walked us through the entire building, and explained each phase of the building process.
To say the building was clean would be a huge understatement. It was impeccably clean all over — the office, showroom, factory, and all facets of the build phases. These guys really know what they are doing.
When it was time to load up our new race car kit into the trailer, two other men came out to help us and did all the work for us. They gave us pallets to set the kit on, and were extremely careful in and around our trailer. They had equipment that was specialized for this purpose, and have clearly done this a few hundred time. They were funny, and excited for us to take delivery as well.
We had a great time meeting them and getting to know them during our short stay in the area. I would definitely recommend this company going forward.
We brought a 45′ coach bus and a 26′ trailer, and were able to get in and out of the place with no issues at all.

I’ve been thinking about (or would that be drooling about) a GTM for the past 3 – 4 years. While in the RI area, we dropped by the factory completely unannounced last Thursday. They were in the process of renovating their showroom and so we stopped briefly at the door. From inside I saw Dave Smith (president/​co-​founder) wave us on in (he was on a call at the time.) Dave is recognizable to me from their web site and mailing list.
He took time out of his day to give us a personal tour of the factory, discussed with us the building of the GTM, showed us his Gen-​2 GTM and even gave me a ride in one of the Mk4 Roadsters. What a thrill!
You won’t find a more helpful and personable group of people out there. They are truly passionate about their craft and go out of their way to help out.

I’ve been doing my search for the perfect supercar using the Internet.
I found Factory Five and their GTM and am becoming more and more impressed.
Factory Five is the largest Kit Car Company in the USA. I’m not much into replica’s. If I want a car I’d rather just get the real thing, not something fake that’s nowhere near as safe or nice as the realthing.
The GTM isn’t this. It holds the record for being the 2^nd fastest car EVER tested by Car and Driver Magazine. 0 – 60 in 3 seconds.
It’s made similar to a racecar with a steel cage and a fiberglass cover. This actually if you understand physics makes it strong yet incredibly light.
They just sent me a DVD and A brochure. Extremely well done.
I’ll be buying one of these in the future and updating my review again in a year or 2 once I know more.
Glad I could be the first to review them on Unilocal
