Default McLaren MP4-12C vs. Factory Five GTM

Why spend $300K for a McLaren MP4-12C when you can get the same performance in a $50K Factory Five GTM?

I can't wait to see their $15K kit car once it's completed...

I would rather go the SLC route. Either way, HELLA nice cars for ~$50K.

Either one with a turbo LS4 and a TEP Tranny... WOW!

Yep, yep. I've been eyeballin' the SLC cars for a while myself. I just think it's nice that a few more companies are getting into the game and offering this level of performance for a semi-reasonable price.

Hi `Mike, Super Thread & Super `Vid ~> EnJoyed
I do love the McLaren MP-4 12c, but it sure is expensive, but very, very unique & Powerful.....It's a Big Lotto Winning type ride...The Five GTM is very interesting & six times less then the McLaren, + you get to build it yourself ..
I will do more research on the GTM (time permitting) & would like to know more about `it..

Thanks Seattle `Mike, for your increasing contributions to the MCF
