Actually the name of this model is the "380rs-competetion" or "380rs-c"...

Here it is in action...

Kwame@z1Auto · 03-31-2008, 02:34 PM

Not to mention that car is running Individual throttle bodies.

DMK · 03-31-2008, 02:37 PM

So is this the street version?

The 380RS is the street version

the 380RS-C is the race version

I was under the impression that the HR had twin throttle bodies... Is this not correct?

std HR's do have twin throttle bodies, but the RS-C is a race car, with an extensively modified engine; it's nowhere near a std HR

I figured as much... But from kwame's comment it seemed like he thought the HR did not.

The normal VQ35hr in the 07+ Z are 3.5 liter motors with twin throttle bodies.

The motor in the 380rs-C is a 3.8 liter with six individual throttle bodies.

This is what Nissan needs to be running in the ALMS in the US.

Six? Wow! Thanks for he info.

well then i want the itb's also (not that i'll ever be able to afford them)

i can't get over the price though, 285k??? u can buy a porsche cup car for less, and thats a porsche, i thought the porsche is supposed to be overpriced and the nissan is supposed to be a good deal

Z1 Performance · 04-01-2008, 10:29 AM

not for nothing, but an 08 911 cup car is significantly more expensive than $285k

warmmilk · 04-01-2008, 12:16 PM

^ here is an 07 for 175k

http://www.theracersgroup.com/cars/car.php?id=47

i know its a year old, but its 110k cheaper

Z1 Performance · 04-01-2008, 12:50 PM

that's a used car though....used race cars, especially ones without any historic significance (such as a cup car), hold no value relative to their cost new or cost to build

If you want to compare apples to apples, and '08 GT3 Cup goes for around $390k at today's exchange rate

jonnylaw · 04-01-2008, 01:14 PM

me calls the GT3 without traction control, the "widow maker". That is some serious ish to drive aggressively. I didn't even want to ask for a test drive when I was at the Porsche Exchange, lol
