It would be WAY cheaper to buy a regular 370Z, remove the NAV, climate control, etc. and build it exactly to these specs. That's what Nissan did with this car. Nothing special.

This is for the rich guy that decides on Monday that he wants to go race in World Challenge on Friday. There's nothing wrong with that, but all I am saying is you could build the same thing for FAR less.

Pricing is ridiculous IMHO. I'd rather have a GTR.

Then I have question, do those BMW, CHEVY, FORD, CITROEN race in BTCC, WTCC and WRC worth their cost?

The BMW ONLY put a 320 in BTCC, can you mod a consumer 320i to that spec and beat those factory spec 320? I am pretty sure a street mod 320 will cost much less than buying a BTCC 320.

nope, BTCC limit the engine at 2000cc and 4-cylinders

I don't know why anyone would consider this car for $150k? It only has 335 hp and I bet it is not even street legal. I can get a Porsche 911 Turbo for this price and it'd be a much better DD and you wouldn't have to worry about cops pulling you over for having an illegal car. And it'd be faster.

Ah, guess that rule means you can't take the paddock girls then?

The brake ducts are worth the cost. That's gotta be at least a million dollars in R & D.
