I hadn't see the 11 saleen until that picture. Looks ok but doesn't seem like it that far for the regular GT

Mustang lapping a Z? Maybe if it doesn't blow up early on at VIR we'll get to see it.

Nope that's not a lapping car. But the car literally was finished day before they left for Barber with no testing! Oh wait they tested! Lol!

YouTube - AM Performance 370Z Grand Am Race Car on the Street

It ran 3 days straight with no issues two weeks ago in 80 degree weather. With a lot more work on suspension and motor this past week. let's just see how they do at VIR Mustang boy.

We would love to run in that series. We are currently competing in the Eastern Region American Iron AI class. We are running against only American cars now and we are limited to 9-1 power weight ratio. The car with out restrictions makes 394 HP at the tires,we have de tuned it to 370 HP to meet class rules but with headers the car made 430 HP at the tires.

The reason for my post was the wife wants to trade a 08 G37 for a new 11 Z but you cant get the Nismo with nav or heated seats. The other problem is most dealers have not stock. Nissan site is also confusing trying to figure out options packages too. She is thinking about the lcar with sport and lux package.

We'll see indeed! Trust me, I wish them success and want to see them do well just like everyone else here. But I've been a race fan long enough to know that it takes a long time for a startup team to start running up front in a competitive series!

Qualifying 19th in an untested car by a new team not indication of platform potential? Car was advancing in race before overheating issues. Just saying give the car a chance.

I never said it didn't have any potential. But you seem to think they are going to be right up at the front at the next race, which is extremely optimistic. I'm just trying to be more realistic. I don't expect them to be running up front and contending for the win in their second race out... that's just not typical for a new team/car in any competitive series, and the Continental Tire series is fairly competitive!

Point out once where I dismissed the car. I never did. I'm just being realistic here. This is a brand new operation for Christ's sake. It's going to take some time.

And as you should very well know, in professional racing the car is only half the battle. You've got to have the team. And a lot of luck! Hell, only about 75% of the time does the fastest car win a Sprint Cup race... if the racing gods are on your side you don't necessarily have to be the best that day to end up in victory lane.
