I am pretty sure this hasn't been posted before if it has I apologize

Looks N/A from the pictures only disappointing part is the compression ratio which is 13.5:1 leaving very little room for boost?

450 bhp Nismo crate motor scroll to the bottom.

Also take a look at what a ~420 bhp fwd Maxima did. Granted it the guy stripped a good 300 pounds from the car putting it about 500 pounds lighter than the Z but this is FWD.

11.912et @ 117.39mph - 1.829-60'

 

Did I mention stock internals on the Maxima with a VQ30 motor.

Should give you an idea of what the VQ motor is capable off.

More specs for the car found here

 

heh, yeah already posted WAY back you know this is the Nismo crate motor built to Trans Am series spec they are selling to race teams and NOT a street car motor and no, 13.5 compression means that it is a fully developed NA motor, there is absolutely no toloerance to run boost with it

 

How much does that thing run?

 

i think $75K

 

75k for the whole car not just the motor
and well get something like that motor with teh nismo R-tune

 

well yes the race car is $75K but does that include an engine??

racew cars are $$$$$$

 

Except you read that it would be 75k for the car in road and track and then in the next issue they corrected themselves becuase it was a misprint. That Nismo race car for the trans am series will cost more like 250K

 

Now where am I going to get 103 fuel?

I'll take low end boost over a crate motor for racing...

 

That sounds more like it. The Nismo 350ZR is not actualy built for the Trans Am Series but is a GT car. They would have to change quite a bit to make it competitive in the Trans Am series. You'll likely see the 350ZR in the same series as 360GT and such. JGTC, FIA GT, ALMS, LeMans and such. 250K sounds about right for the whole car so $75K for the engine is a good deal. Beleive me when I say you wouldn't want that engine for the street use. It would be quite unmanagable and with a service schedule every 3000 miles or so could get a little expensive and you can screw passing smog tests anytime soon.

 

Where can i find some pics or specs on the race cars mentioned above like the 350ZR and this Grand Am car, or ALMS car.
