GTM SuperCar Kit:   What You Get

 

Some Assembly Required.

 

The GTM Supercar kit is engineered to be built as a chassis kit by a car guy at home with regular tools.  The GTM kit gives you everything you need to build your car, except for select running gear parts taken from a 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette.  The major Corvette parts include the engine, front and rear control arms, suspension/brakes, and fuel tanks.  The only exception is the transaxle, which is a Porsche 911 unit.

 

You can use parts taken from a donor Corvette, OR you can purchase the required parts new from GM performance Parts dealers.

 

The GTM kit comes with a staggering amount of parts and assemblies standard.  From the complex race-proven chassis and sculpted composite body to a vast array of interior and trim parts, our kit is engineered right from the ground up.
