Shop cars are almost always sold eventually, primarily because they want to get on to new and better projects.

Someone's off on their logic. It ain't me.

From the looks of their shop, they're not exactly rolling in money, either.
regardless. whatever happens, you still forget the very good pr they will get from this. lots of media exposure for them as the guys who were able to get a nissan fairlady z to go as fast as porsche's popular supercar (assuming they succed in their plan). this alone may generate a lot of traffic to their shop as people would send cars over there to be tuned.

Different idea of what people want, I like turbo/superchargers but at the end of the day, a NA car is just so sweet. Balance of torque & HP without the need of turbo/supercharger is what I love.

Well you can think of it this way... at least they are trying to compete with a GT3 it could be worse at least the Z has people very excited about the idea of competing on that echelon. You could drive a scion XB and need to hevily mod it to beat a stock civic ex... Most costom shops love the nissan cars over in japan and that it why tehy are so excited over this one. I personally think that if any prestigeous car company like MCR and others that you see in every zine are looking at the car you drive thats a good idea that the car you drive is okay... i am very envious of everyone I want my z so bad!

I like projects like this. But anytime you spend loads of money to run with or beat a stock car, call it car x killer, you will invite these kinds of comments. Modded vs stock for bragging rights is lamer than Lazarus. I would, however, like to see them push the Z34 platform, in streetcar form mind you, to GT3 levels.

To get 415 NA crank hp from a VQ37 will be a serious challenge and thats just one notch on the list to GT3 performance much less GT3 BEATING performance. Imho if they do end up beating the GT3 around a track it will be mostly due to suspension tuning as I just dont see them getting over 415hp out of this motor NA. Regardless the better car will always be the GT3.

I'm baffled at people calling the MCR 370 "rice."

when looking at out of the box though I think the GTR would beat the GT3 when comparing two cars of the same level "Out of the Box!"

So my point is at least Nissan has something to compete with it
