Race cars are expensive, if you don't hang around race cars, all that money goes into having more adjustment, and having a completely sorted out chassis, from aero, suspension, pick up points, a class legal cage, fuel cell, electronics, etc... For real racing you gotta pay to play.

BTW I doubt it could compete in Speed GT, all those cars are mainly tube chassis except for the porsche (because it is that good). Igor was making 475whp when he ran in speed GT 2 years ago. he learned essentially everyone is 500+ minimum.

In speed TC you know how many restrictions those cars are placed under. where can you see a 330ci running equal with a e46 M3, even with an audi A4, and equal with a TSX.

The 380RS is probably good for Grand-Am GS class.
Dude, race car or not look at that 350, there is nothing on it that constitutes that high of a price.

Its a bare bones 350z with a stripped interior, a stroked motor ran by stand alone, brakes, nismo aero kit, ONE recaro spg and wheels. Even IF it had an all carbon fiber body that still wouldnt put this car anywhere NEAR $285k.

A base model Z only goes for around 20k (and thats being generous). You mean to tell me that what i listed adds up to $265K in mods. Ummmm yeah, i think not.

With that kinda money, i could build a 350z that i would shit all over this car.

I'm not hating on it, i'm just being real. Its totally over priced.
