Forged Performance is pleased to announce or latest motorsports project car: A brand new Nissan 370Z with just a touch over 100 miles on the odometer. We are looking forward to developing the Forged Performance 370Z to compete in the Unlimited RWD Class of Redline Time Attack, and Regional NASA Pro Racing, and Time Trials.
As we've done with our 350Z, and current GT-R program, motorsports development is the ultimate proving ground. Much of what we learn, is immediately transferrable to our street based project cars as well and one of the reasons that we have a long history or reliability and consistency with our daily driver builds. So hang on, and we'll be updating the thread as the build continues....it's going to get really interesting.
By the way, everything OEM removed from the car is for sale...just ask.
Tomorrow, the car goes on the dyno for a quick baseline, and then the strip down continues, along with a preliminary scaling. We are sitting right now at just over 3300lbs with a full tank of fuel.
We'll have the SCCA/NASA approved cage, and much of the safety gear in by end of next week.
I took a few pictures today to get us started, and well update as we go. :happydance:
The plan is tackle the Unlimited Class normally aspirated. Yes, you heard me correctly. The plan is to tune the car to 350whp+, and conduct chassis testing, and mechanical and aero grip testing. With a projected 2700lb weight goal with cage and safety gear, I think we can run some extremely fast laptimes, that will eclipes most forced induction unlimited cars.
Then once that is completed, it's a full engine build, and forced induction.
We should be done with phase one, and ready for track testing in Nov.
Forged Performance: Project 370Z Race Car Build!!
sub'd, looking forward to results
