a 3.6 or 4 liter turbo 650-700 HP motor, with light wt carbon fiber body at 2600 lbs AND that motor can last 3, 12 or 24 hours?

cant wait to see it happen.

Maybe a 4 liter non turbo in GT2 would be more suited to the competition.

Racing in ones own country and NOT racing on the european or ALMS with the attempt to sell cars in the european and North American markets, just doesnt make business sence.

YES those budgets in JGTC are huge, but they need to get their butts out of Japan to prove their worth. and until they do talk is cheap.

anyway YES a Nissan in GT2 would be great, GT1 ?? well . . . .
