DIY Kit Supercars
What if we told you that a car with iconic 1960s lines that you can build today for around $45,000 can hold its own against an Italian exotic that stickers for nearly $200,000?
What if we told you that a car with iconic 1960s lines that you can build today for around $45,000 can hold its own against an Italian exotic that stickers for nearly $200,000? Tired of the lame kit cars that were on the market, Dave Smith founded Factory Five Racing (FactoryFive.com) in 1995 to prove that a car you can build in your garage can run toe-to-toe with the fastest production cars in the world. It began with a Cobra replica called MK1. Now the company is on its fourth version, the MK4, and the lineup has expanded. There’s the street-going MK4 roadster; the track-only MK4 Challenge car; the Type 65 Coupe, which is a Shelby Daytona Coupe replica; a 1933 hot rod that uses a tubular space frame; the GTM, a mid-engine supercar that typically uses an LS engine; and the latest project—a mid-engine car that uses Subaru running gear.
