Default 350Z to debut in Grand Am GT Class

Looks like the Playboy 350Z's will debut at Homestead this weekend. There are pics of it in the garage here. Hopefully it will run well.

If I heard the announcer correctly, they said the RX8 was 500lb lighter than the next heaviest car?!

Does anyone know if they are running the same Menards 4.5L motor that the HLM G35 is using that is based off the M45/FX45 or are they using the 5.6L motor from a Titan/Armada? I can't remember if they have to use an existing models engine from the same brand to base the race car engine off of.
