Do they, initial release about the engine said they started with the road car engine. Probably do for both! Not hard to get 600hp from a 5ltr quad cam.
Sideline, cracks me up the fan boys going on about how cool the GTR race car is. It doesn't use a single piece of the road cars drive line |

I agree with your comment that Ford "coughed up 888". |

Try google, its not the gt1 engine, that's a different development of it. The SC engine is a sleeved version of the one from the patrol and the Kelly's are developing it.
Like a lot of rumours fas, not true! |

[QUOTE=FAS33;3150921]if your right their definalty isn't much left from the production one, and yup they use the same one for their GT-R in GT1 as Mixer said, and DOWNGRADED to be eligble to come inside..(rumour has it they smashed everyone else in GT1)
GT-R is a V6 !... I thought this was a V8 series... 3.8L VR38DETT twin-turbo V6 The 2012 Nissan GT-R is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 530 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque. |

Mind you, there is a huge amount of experience, development and history in the current engine configurations so the KR & SBR crews have a big hill to climb. No doubt that they'll get there but it'll be far from easy - but then, everyone would be doing it if it was easy and where's the satisfaction in that? |

Yeah what Tourer said, pretty funny cause they dont run a stock V8 donk in the Altima lol. there isn't much left from the production cars to the racecars you see on TV these days (except the APCC). And peckstar posted the engine specs of that one they use in GT1. |

Agreed.
Getting it on the track as soon as possible is the only way to go. The Stones are definately passionate about their racing. They'd re-mortgage their houses to get the cars out there. |
