    What do you tell people?

    What do you tell people when your out with your GTM and people ask you....Wow, what IS that?

    At first I was saying "Its a kit car I built produced by Factory Five Racing".

    That seemed pretty boring so I have adjusted my response a bit. I now tell them that its a custom built German/Italian Supercar. (I'm half German and half Italian) That gets another "Wow!"

    What do you tell them?

    Well I have a hot rod not a cool looking supercar GTM but the question I get asked most is "Is it real?". My answer is "It's real (dramatic pause) FAST!".

    I don't actually own one, however, it seems like a good answer would be, "Just a little something I threw together in my garage to embarrass Ferraris"

    My standard answer is: it’s a factory five GTM. It’s a street legal race
    car that is faster than most street cars and most race cars.

    And we all can say there is only one like it. That’s the best part IMHO.
