SCCA GT-3 350Z's @ Buttonwillow
Took a few shots of the GT-3 350Z's of Terry Watson and Frank Hansowetz at the Buttonwillow Double National this past weekend and thought I'd share.

Most teams run the KA24 SOHC in GT3. SCCA rules also allow a variety of older 4-cylinder Nissan motors, but the hot setup is to use the KA24.
In GT2, keep in mind that there is a 3.0 limit on engines, so most teams run a sleeved-down VQ35DE with a modified 3.0 crank to meet the rules. Also classed in GT2 is the SR20DE, which is allowed quite a weight break (in comparison with the V-6s), but no one has elected to undertake the R & D necessary to make a 4 banger compete in this class.

So what, exactly, make this thing a Z?
It seems like a real Z in the same way an NASCAR Taurus is a real Taurus. Although they did a pretty good job on the body panels.
-D'oh!

BTW, wasn't Frank Hansowetz one of the head guys in Infiniti's IRL racing program?

The GT3 350Z's are just rebodied GT3 240SX. That is one of the reasons they are using the 4cylinder motor. Also the reason why the bodies look "funny" compared to a real Z, they are about 7/8 size (in order to fit the dimmensions of the 240SX tube frame). Also if compared to the 350z in GT2, the GT2 car dimmensionally looks like a real 350Z
