skyline to run in america?

What class?

I mean its an old out of production car - so what set of SCCA rules are they running under to allow it to be legally and competively modified to still be competitive?

Looks interesting - but I would guess it's going to be an amazingly expensive excercise in losing gracefully.

You could take all that money and field a far more competive team that actually had a chance of winning in SCCA - a very competitive series.

Wow, this will be really interesting to see it compete against the Vettes. But because it's the first year i doubt they'll do very well, but this has lots of potential. I wish them luck, and i hope to see it race. They go to Road America right?

Dont mind the look of that skyline. Nice and agressive..

Cool paint job.

they said speed GT.

edit kind of funny how they have it, a nissan skyline gt-r 2.5 L huh?

Well good luck to them - but this is what the grid of the GT class looks and feels like... factory teams struggle to domininate ;)

I am just thinking it's too little too late - Chevrolet, Pontiac, Porsche, Dodge etc all have newer faster later developed models on the grid.

I wouldn`t underestimate the Skyline.

A capable tech team , a good driver , and you`ll be amazed by the results. :)

I would - it's a great car, just not "the best in class".

so they're not using a V8 like they used to in JGTC?

V8 ? they never used a V8 last engine used for JGTC was the VQ30DETT(3.0V6). and before that was the RB26DETT

Are they running a car based on one of these?

If so - it's hardly a regular production based Skyline ;)

Interesting to see how they do, but as has been mentioned...first year is very tough, not much chance they'll do well.

These are just 2 of the C6 Z06 GT-R's on the grid... this Skyline will need the finger of God pushing it along to take on the new Porkers, Vipers and Z's...
