But most race cars tend to be bespoke. Huge difference between a ZR1 and a C6R, or a GT3 RS and a GT3 RSR or an M3 and M3 GTR. The Nismo RC is just a Nismo with basic bolt ons (e.g. brakes, wheels, tires, a proper LSD, coilovers, and of course the important oil and diff coolers. Other than that, it has the mandatory safety equipment (fuel cell, roll cage, 5 point harness, fire suppression system, etc.)

It's really not hard to make a standard nismo go faster than the race version, and do it cheaper too!
