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!

Only a couple of those are 'race ready' cars, this is not meant to be a super car killer it is meant to be a race car.
You think this is expensive? Many other race prep cars go for 200k-300k before you get into specific series requirements (short v. long endurance, other safety equipment, etc.). This car is not for everyone, but it provides race teams with an off the shelf option.

I mean, if you want a good example, go ask Travis how much he has spent on his car to be 100% track viable and we can get a good comparison.
