SWEET...doesn't GT500 mean 500 hp?!!!

I saw the engine tuner was listed as Tomei, any info on the engine and how they achieved 500 ponies?

 

that is a bad azz looking car!

 

Sweet......

 

actually that's just too much!!! why with the big azz wing? it's autocross, not a drag race. for the rear, why is there an extension? more weigh(still light as hell)!!!

 

its open road course racing.

speed of excess of 100+ mph on turns. hell yea you would want a wing.

 

AWESOME!

Could someone PLEASE post a JPG shot of the rear? I can't save from a flash show.

 

Like to see this car is a solid color.

 

Thanks Gene, or can I call you El?

Sure looks like someone spent a LOT of time in the wind tunnel.

 

sweet

... the wing looks like it was made out of aluminum panels in someone's basement ...

(though i'm sure it's very functional)

 

why they replace the GT-R i thought the GT-R is Quicky already. Unless they try to gain the nissan 350Z Reputation through GT500.

 

Because the R34 GT-R is being disontinued by Nissan. The GT-R will make its return with the new GT-R in the future. The Z is being used as "filler."

 

Autocross? You have no clue what you're talking about.

 

that is so awesome, if i was a rich little ***** id say "daddy buy me that"

think its gonna have the twin turbo vq they tested last year?
any info on the motor
tomei built the GTRs motor i know that.
btw for anyone who doesnt know of tomei
tomei is the ish BOTTOM LINE.

 

jeez i cant even speak coherently that car is awesome!

 

There have been two major engine tuners for the GT-R... Autech Japan and Tomei.


-- It appears that Autech will be the Z engine tuner for the 2 NISMO entrants.
-- Tomei will be the Z engine tuner for Hasemi Motor Sports & Team Impul.


It is going to be an interesting and great year having Z's race again in the Japan GT500 series.

 

even i wanna say "mommy can you buy me that!"

The smooth lines remind me of a carrera GT

 

Sweet is right, thanks for posting this.

 

Does anyone know if these races will be shown on SPEED this year?

 

So far our friends at Nascar TV. Ooops. I mean Speed TV dont have it scheduled. You basically have to hope you catch it on Speed TV by fate.
