DIY Supercar: Factory Five GTM
Until Recently I have always wanted to build a car or a chassis of some sort just to test my skills and show people what I'm capable of. Just this weekend I finally put that desire towards a realistic goal.
Enter the Factory Five GTM. The GTM is a kit car intended to be built by the customer in their own garage. You need the kit from Factory Five and a c5 corvette for a donor car to complete the build. Most people opt to find wrecked or broken car for much cheaper to swap parts from.
After doing a small bit of research over the weekend, I quickly formed my own opinions on the car and the
Turbocharged Jeep SRT-8.
This jeep has been on-going project at A.R.T. over the last few months. The turbo on this Jeep will support 1400-1500whp and we intend on using every bit of it. Although the transmission and driveline is going to

Worlds Fastest Dodge Viper
This past weekend at the Texas Mile, the A.R.T. Twin Turbo Viper made its debut with some record breaking top speed passes. On its 3rd pass, she crossed the traps at an astonishing 233.8mph. That is faster than any other previous viper has run in a standing mile. It also eclipses any top speed record that has been run period over any amount of distance.

Pump Gas Monster. Twin Turbo Ford GT build.
Over the Last few weeks at the shop we have been hard at work on another TT Ford GT build. This Specific build has been a little different from our standard off the shelf Twin Turbo Kit. The Game plan for the car revolved around making lots of power on pump gas only for tearing up the streets of Austin.
The Basic premise of the setup was to go with a slightly bigger compressor wheel with all the technology stuffed into to try and make it spool comparable to a gt35R but still make more power on the top end. We also started
Ford GT custom Exhuast Fabrication
This week we thought we would show you a little about the fabriction process and what it takes to build a piece for the almighty FORD GT.
The Stock Exhuast system is removed in favor of a lighter and more powerful system. Everything you see here is built out of 304 Stainless steel and is hand TIG welded. The Process is very tideous and time consuming, but patience is key. Stainless tends to expand and contract as it heat cycles. This makes for a very diffucult fabrication process when trying to keep eveything symmetrical on these high dollar cars.
Enjoy the Pictures of the process. Soon the car will be back for a.....
