Do you want an American supercar, but want it on a budget and to possibly assemble it yourself? No problem. Famous kit car company Factory Five Racing has just the car for you. It’s called the Factory Five GTM and is a very capable supercar. It is a car that you can build in your garage as a DIY project. The manual, thankfully, comes with the car (via Factory Five).

The company made a move to the supercar market with the GTM in 2007. This modern car has a Kevlar body and aluminum chassis powered by Corvette’s V8 engine. Also, many components like the drivetrain and suspension are from the Corvette, making it cheap and easy to maintain. Due to its lightness and power, the GTM is fast, with 0 to 60 mph times of around only three seconds and a top speed of over 180 mph. Also, it is pretty affordable, and the basic GTM kit costs just $24,000. Remember that you must provide the Corvette engine and drivetrain to make the GTM roadworthy.
