GT Academy European GT4 Cup NISMO 370z
 

Jordan Tresson has been announced as the winner of GT Academy 2010. The 21-year-old Frenchman completed a short head-to-head test today on Silverstone’s new Grand Prix circuit against friend and rival Luca Lorenzini. The pair drove five flying laps each in the 420bhp Nissan 370Z GT4 race car that Tresson will now campaign in the 2010 European GT Cup series.

What that copper looking thing coming from where the rear side window used to be?

Awesome!!

Any more info on the car or team?

Nice pics.

More details!

oh damn! noice! that exhaust is awful though, at least put some stainless tips on the damn thing!

Why would they.

It might of been heavier :roflpuke2:

i wonder how it sounds.

A race car not a show car

Does it have a oil cooler?

I would guess there's not a chance in hell it doesn't.

No it doesn't have an oil cooler.
The driver gets out and pushes it to the finish line.

Hawt! Would like to see more pics of the interior setup and cage. More then anything I would love to see a pictorial build of this if it exsists. Mainly how they got the 420bhp.

I do agree though, the exhaust is not pleasing to the eye but I am sure with the win they dont give a $#@!.

Looks like that's the same 370z that's being raced in the Nurburgring 24hrs :-

Should be interesting to see where it ends up in the race. From what I understand its built to GT4 spec which means its not a million miles away from being road going spec.

so sick....

Cool!


:worship:

That thing is amazing, I am glad the exhaust looks how it is, which shows they cared about performance all around.

That's a VQ35 in there for sure :) Im also pretty sure its a 3.8l vq35

yeah thats right they did make that engine for the 380RS-C cars

here is that that engine looked like

Thats probably true, if you look at the front of the exhaust cam cover on the last pic MC posted and on the motor in the 370 race car the front of those covers appear to be identical.

me want.... :fap::fap::fap:

well obviously, but no weight would be sacrificed to throw some stainless tips on the damn thing, functionality and it wouldnt look like complete shyt. No sense in having the rest of the car look pretty with some rusty looking exhaust tips.

it's awesome that they used a regular 370z to modify and not a Nismo. But I totally dig that Nismo body kit.

more info on the motor please....

I love this car ''NISMO''

Those are Cat's. The class he is running mandates Cats, so the put them as far out as possible to keep them as high flow as possible. Lots of racing bodies that require Cat's also limit where their are mounted in the exhaust system. Most require them to be no more than 6 in's +/- their original location.

hey, looks like they went with long tube CAIs too O_o;;

could use a lowering?..haha
