Matte/Flat Black wheels, or a very dark gun metal.....

Man, we've gotta finish these things because they are going to look rad!

Thanks. I just saw the wheels on the 1st post. I also did a few more.

Love it!!! Great ideas if we ever make a "no rules" 370Z. I imagine at some point we will have a project car that we can really showcase our design abilities in a "no rules" environment. I am not sure if that will be a 370Z or a GT-R however. Or how about a GT-R motor IN a 370Z

Gt-R motor would def be cool, but with the Gt-r manifold swap & a twin turbo kit it's pretty much the same thing. Btw nice Photoshop

Didn't realize you had to run such skinny tires. Are the big mustangs and camaros on same size? If they are you guys should have tire advantage being so much lighter.

You guys let me know when your ready to start doing business. I live couple miles away and my brand new Nismo is begging for some real competition parts. Need to test anything? I run 80 miles a day from Bonny Doon to Milpitas. So I see almost every driving enviroment possible. Will also do big AX events, a couple hillclims and a few track time trails.

I'm a long time Porsche guy who is see what 370z can do so I'm ready to start buying real performance parts that we see in that world. Looks like you guys are shooting for similar quality and engineering.

My goal is to build someting similar in concept to a Gt3. Street going race car.

I stopped by and said hi to Brian. Didnt want to bother you guys because I can see you have tight schedule with race car build but you just let me know when your ready to help me with suspension setup.

We are working towards our initial parts line-up being announced at Redline Time Attack's opening event on March 5-6. I am shooting for 370Z parts to be available by the end of April, GT-R parts to follow soon after.

Why hasn't this thread been updated with pictures of the cars being built...

:-(

flashburn · 02-18-2011, 04:27 PM

I think they said they would post weekly updates.

It's only been a week! Cut us some slack, we've got a bunch of cars to build! We're working on our next update now

Good observation. Yes the tanks have to run the same tires, and that should give us an advantage in both corner speed and consistency throughout a stint.
