Check out this car from the SEMA auto show

FACTORY FIVE CONCEPT: Factory Five is best known as a maker of replica cars that you could say look like Cobras, though they would never word it that way.

"We decided that replicas of just about anything are going to get us in trouble no matter if we're right or wrong, so let's just go our own way," said F5 engineer Jim Schenck.

We like their way. This car is sort of GT40-like, and far from Coyote-like. We saw it at last year's SEMA show as a shell. In the interim 12 months, Factory Five modified it so much that the company just started all over again.

All the mechanicals, including powertrain and suspension, are from the C5 Corvette. (It's a kit car so you have to find your own donor C5 in a junkyard.) Factory Five hopes to keep the price of its components, including the carbon fiber/fiberglass body and tube frame chassis, under $20,000 when the kit becomes available a year from now.

Probably a bit less than a C5.
