Those are great times for a "basic and unsorted" race car.

Man with some sticky's, sorting and more engine breather mods you should be in the competitive range VERY quickly. Awesome numbers

This looks like a TERRIFIC platform for a racecar.

Any thoughts on running it in T2 for SCCA?
I know the 350 just got moved back to T3

350 is primarily classed in t2 still.....the requirements (stock springs, 245 max width tire, etc) means few will run in t3. As far as the 370....I think the min weight is something like 3400lb for t2....some 500-600 more than what this car weighs.

I do think it has a lot of potential as a platform though.

I know a few moving the class IMMEDIATLY...
It will be far more competitive in T3 then T2 in my opinion.

It just does not have the power of the other cars to hang at Road America.

Also for NASA events the 370 seems as if it would be HIGHLY competitive especially with No engine mods it should really be able to hang.

It will be interesting to see how it does on the bigger tracks. My guess is that it will need some more power but not much. Give it an extra 200hp and holy crap!

Really? I hadn't really heard of but a couple. I picked up some parts from Rob and Bob Hines a couple weekends ago, and I know they are prepping a car for t3. If anyone can make a winning t3 350z it will be them. They didn't seem too optimistic about the limitations placed on the 350's in t3, but hopefully they will become more competitive by run-offs time.

Like I said, I think the 370 is a great platform with lots of potential. It is great to see Forged and others pushing the initial envelope with them. I certainly hope that they are more than competitive and start collecting wins at all levels.

Agreed Hines team sis in my opinion one of the MAJOR contenders.

There are some others that have not previously raced them but had other T3 cars. With so many of them for sale due to the T2 fiasco they are moving cars.

They will have some serious advantages I think in that class. Personally I don't think the car should be down in T3 but thats just me...

Can't wait to see what Forged really gets out of this thing...Of course I am partial...:-)

extremely impressive.
Very Impressive. Just was looking at some of my Videos from last May. The best one I could find was a 1:23:1 with my 03 and 275s NT01s square. It would be nice to have a real front suspension and more power.

These wheel are Volk RE30 19X10 +30 and 19X11 +25. These are just the temporary wheels we'll run until the 18's are confirmed.
