Default Licenesed racers only most likely!

Nissan will want the first of these to go to teams with established credentials. In other words, unless you have a current FIA, ALMS, SCCA or other racing license AND you can show NISMO a bank account or sponsor list of six figures (at least), you can probably not count on getting one of these cars.

Doubt you'll see one before next year. There was another thread on this board that was talking about how they made the car with 450hp but then have to restrict it to run in the GT300 category of JGTC. The reason is that they had always planned to compete in worldwide GT which includes, ALMS, Grand-Am, FIA GT, JGTC and LeMans.

Not only could you not use this car on the street because of legal issues, you probably wouldn't want to drive it on the street. Although the article mentions they make a few changes to the car, this car is no where near stock. The clutch would be so stiff that sitting at a stoplight holding the clutch down would be like an hour of squats at the gym. Not to mention you'd probably overheat before you got more then a few blocks without running at speed. These babies are full fledged racecars and I can't wait to see how well they do in some of the global GT series.

If you want info on factory racecars check out Porsche. They have plenty of info and pricing on their two models, the GT3 Racer and the Supercup cars. Other factory racers include Viper, C5R, Ferrari Challenge (360), Saleen S7R and BMW GT. By factory racers I mean ordered direct through authorized dealers or the motorsports division of their respective auto manufacturers, where as most other cars teams use are striped down, modified road cars.
