2011 Nissan 370Z GT !!

Another marketing exercise in "brand extension".

When is te real NISMO Spec-C version coming (3.8 litre engine with 405hp), 6-sp seq shift box and factory lightweight parts (lose the electric seats in favour of CF seat shells, lose the entertainment system and AC, special bodyprep with no sound-deadener, CF bonnet, rear hatch and doors, NISMO 4-way adjustable dampers with factory-fitted FIA cage.

400+ hp and 1200kg - that would be a "proper" GT.

SUbaru did it with the STi Spec-C series from 1998 onwards, you can buy (in Oz at least) Ralliart-spec EVO 9 and 10, and Porsche do it with the 911 GT3-series - why can;t Nissan get it right.

Calling this a GT is a wank - pure marketing hype.
