O:
I'm curious in the power to weight ratio you guys are going for! How much would an AM race car usually weigh and are you allowed to go boost or only stay NA?

Geez! Now I'm really sorry that I said anything.
Guys. When it comes right down to it, NISMO is not a car model. It means NIssan MOtorsports. So yes, these cars are, in facts, Nismo cars. |

There is a HP limit. 375 to 425hp depending on car weight. Weight ballast is issued to even things out.

It's a 370z and it has the Nismo bodywork. It's more a Nismo than not just based on aero bodywork. Race cars are rarely a true representation of actual production cars so just deal with it and let these guys update us to real progress rather than childish Nismo verse Touring or Sport discussions. Nismo in US is primarily defined by areo bodywork. And isn't it interesting that a race team sees advantage to the areo bodywork.
I will say Nismo is more than just suspension (springs, dampers and sway bars ), engine tune and better exhaust system however. We also get special nismo interior, steering wheel, shifter and seats, mats Nimsmo gauges, red Nismo engine cover, different chassis braces and yahmaha dampers, special sport wheels and brakes standard. We also get Nismo branded strut braces. And we get a Nismo special edition badge. We also get a cool yellow sticker that says our special bodywork can't go through an automated car wash. I do wonder why the team graphics are on plain 370z bodywork? Shouldn't it be on Nismo bodies? |
