Default 350 with VQ30DETT?

Found this picture on Wikimedia Commons. Looks mean. Any idea what it is?

I think you're right.... I have a short feature on this car in a magazine somewhere.

I don't think it's a VQ30 though...


Anybody see where the steering rack is? Holy different spot!

I'm pretty sure (when I say pretty sure i'm usually 99% convinced oddly enough), that's the Xanavi 350z Gt500 JGTC car. The Xanavi 350z has a 3ltr tt (93mm bore, 73.3 stroke) v6, and makes 465hp or so (if i recall correctly) and I think it was 520ish torque. If its the Xanavi, it def has a vq30dett.

It popped up when I clicked the "random file" link. Random indeed. I had no idea what this motor was attached to.

Are there any channels that we can get that show these races? I would sure like to see this thing in action.
