the is350 is still confirmed as an entry also in 2012 according to the site, btw if i remember well the car switched for the rvk8 only in 2011 (or 2010 too) because the car debuted with a 1UZ 4.4 (the one that currently uses the shinden). The gt300 cars never had really 300hp, these cars had always a bop between the various models... (i'm speaking about the past, not of the actual gt3 invasion) i think that the JAF-300 cars were running with a power around 400hp or something less, while the GT cars like murcielago RG1, gallardo RG3, 430 GTC etc.... something like 450hp; the same in GT500 when also GT1 cars like DBR9 and murcielago were running with restrictors comparable to the ones used in fia gt (600hp at least).
In my opinion is fair that JAF-300 prototypes are less powerfull than GT cars, because they have a turn speed that GT cars won't never have because of aero and the weight.
However i think that gt300 will solve soon these kind of problems because will become shortly a full gt3 competition, and cars like vermac, arta, shiden etc.... will disappear.
