The Valkyrie 370Z lives on! Testing this weekend at Sonoma Raceway (In-car Video!)
 

Anyone who might have seen the for sale thread, Valkyrie Autosport has purchased the Shamu 370Z project car and will be continuing its development.

If testing goes well this weekend at Sonoma Raceway, the car will be entered to compete against the likes of Porsche GT3 Cup's, Vipers, Corvettes, and more in the ST1 class at the NASA West Coast Championship November 9'th.

Hope to see some local 370Z fans, but we will also be running two 350Z's running in Spec Z trim for the 350Z fans out there.

Wondered what happen to it.

good to see the car has been given a 2nd chance

Congrats! That is by far one of the most bad A$$ 370s on any road. Are you guys still using the same ECU or did you change to something else?

After all that time and money I can't imagine selling it, glad to see it fights on!

We are using the M600 that we changed to after the AEM Infinity. The car already ran well at Laguna Seca, despite a completely horrid spring rate setup, which has been fixed.

What made Shamu decide to sell the car?

Brian did you make the front intake vanes? I haven't seen those on a Nismo nose.

No better owner than the shop that built it. Happy to see it ended up in the right hands

Nope, that is a stock NISMO nose. I assume you were asking about the 350Z.

Ok that explains it duh:)

no pics?

I had no idea it was for sale, until I looked for the original build thread that I can't find. I'm glad to see that this excellent car build will live on.

The thread was deleted.:(

The weekend went pretty well, great data to move forward, and a part we have now proved not up to the challenge :). Head over to the Valkyrie facebook page for the weekend update.

A couple of laps around Sonoma Raceway.

Brian, how about bringing that crazy thing next friday nov 14th for Super Lap battle at burronwillow run it in unlimited class?? please? ps. sending you a message

Then I would have to go to button willow :(

In all seriousness, unless the time attack rules have changed I don't think it would be legal for time attack because of the floor pan modification. And I won't have any tires left after this weekend, and the car already had a list of items that need attention over the winter which I need to save budget for, excuses excuses.

More video, we won TT1 at NASA West Coast Champs. 1:43.4, the car has sub 1:40's in it for sure once its dialed in.
