wouldn't mind having a go in one of these would be a good car to compete against the porsche cup cars with similar weight and power figures

It's bloody uglfy. It's a matter of function over form with a competition car i guess. But they should try harder! Bet it goes like death though

two little coolers are the rear... mmmmmm...

have they just simply stroked the VQ35?

yeah its a stroked VQ35

[scathing]

It'll be running Nismo competition heads and a wealth of other mods, but yeah it looks like the extra displacement has come from stroking.

Its ugly, but it works. The aero kit actually does work. I'd hate to damage the rear bar, though, since it appears the guard widener is attached to it and the rear guard.

My first guess is one cooler each for tranny and diff. They're a decent size.

[lingeringsoul]

I LOVE IT!!....yes it's not the prettiest, but i'm a Nismo fan, and the Nismo touches (subtle flare, the trademark twin cooler, the rear diffuser, the black Rays rims) just makes me smile.

Looks good from the front and its got a budunkadunk ass .....still its alright in my books.

As its a nismo it would absolutely haul

[phenline]

i think the rear is made up of all different pieces so damage wouldnt rip the whole rear off. But yer i like it looks nice in the pictures and in person iam sure it would look alot nicer!

[342Four]

that rear bumper design is very important

otherwise this:

would look like dogs balls at the rear

but yeah, would hate to damage it....

Yeh, the rear end is ordinary, but the front and side profile is cool. And i love the mods/power/weight of the thing. I would so love one, only $$$ would make me fall off my seat Though they are only about 55k in real dollars, taxes etc etc would bump it up to what 100k ?

Shame they didnt find some middle ground and sell a Porsche esque GT3 RS version as a road going weekend race car

[Whiplash]

there is a street version as well with the 3.8L only 300 being produced,

257Kw instead of 294Kw

thats what my image is off - the road versions aero dynamics

i would imagine that the competion version is somewhat more aggressive...
