What was the inspiration?

I wanted a track inspired (and was actively tracked for 3 seasons) 370 with a very clean look. Also, the intention was to have one of the highest documented WHP 370's in the country. (The top and bottom end of the engine has been built to be capable of being tuned to approx. 900 WHP. Car is currently road tuned at 650 WHP, but the intention this coming spring is to tune with race gas and push for 800-900 range. This was the long term goal when the engine was built).

How long did it take you to build?

3 years total.

How long have you been building?

Your future plans?

As stated above, the intention this coming spring is to tune with race gas and push for 800-900 range. This was the long term goal when the engine was built. Car is also currently in the process of converting to wide body (Carbon Signal), wider wheels (Work Kai CR2P's), Varis carbon fiber hood, Carbon Signal carbon fiber lip kit, and Airlift Performance air bag system.

Vehicle history

Purchased slightly used but as a stock Nismo edition in early 2011 with long term goals of documented high horse power, some tracking in mind and major modifications in mind.
