The guys at Kit Car Magazine UK (www.kit-cars.com) have done a great job featuring a one-of-a-kind Factory Five GTM on the front cover of their April 2015 issue!

Factory Five customer Bill Farber contracted with the hot rod builders at SKJ Customs to design an over-the-top GTM.  The car is extremely well-built in every single way, and the most notable feature is the Nelson Racing Engines 1,200 HP engine.

Check out the video at the bottom of this post to see the engine dyno tested over 1,000 HP at Nelson Racing Engine’s headquarters.
