Thread: P11 touring car - $30k

Actually, the CMR team out of NZ took their SR20 farther than the BTCC teams did in terms of power. Granted it was for a land speed vs a road race application. So I'm sure they had a little more room to stretch it.

I'm guessing Reg Cook and company "borrowed" a lot of their high tech tricks from the BTCC engines. So it's not exactly locked up. For most of us, even if we did have a playbook right in front of us, it would be way too expensive for it to make sense in doing. As it is, a lot of the cutting edge guys in this community are doing silly things in terms of dollars/hp in the NA game. $3-4K for an intake? Ya, i'll pass.

I wonder how much of the bump to 300 hp that massive CAI is helping with. At speed that thing is probably building a couple pounds of pressure at the runners...

LOL! I hope you are being sarcastic as at a little under 20K USD, that is a bargain. The machine costs alone probably cost that much in real money . The ECU can easily run upwards of 5-8K brand new

And this setup is not a reverse head design (if that is what you are referring to)

No way he gets even $20k for that unless a random enthusiast who has a ton of cash to blow stumbles upon it. $30k buys you a 2011 C6. Not hating on the P11 but c'mon

The technology isn't under lock and key. Build a high revving DE with huge cams, trick intake, ITBs, dry sump and standalone management and you'll be at least 250hp.
A guy in the UK did a N15 with a near enough BTCC spec DE. It was bench tested @ 274hp.



Its a proper race car, not a wannabe street racing. Like has been said, the engine alone is 10K+. 20k imo is very reasonable.

Check this n15 rally car out:

8 of these were made. This one spent some of it's life in Sweeden and Ireland. Probably weighs less than a ton due to Nissan aiming for the minimum weight of 9600kg. 275bhp and recently dyno'd. The whole thing is uprated as you'd expect, with carbon fibre everywhere and some seriously uprated bits in the engine bay. Very functional flocked and carbon fibre dash. The gearbox looks like it was made for a tank. Fuel tank is a bag tank, kevlar and carbon bag so that an impact won't repture fuel everywhere. Beefed up rear beam and still FWD. Clearly no money spared for this project.

Those equivalent-to-current-day-S2000 cars were just as fast (if not faster) on tarmac than a Gr.P A or full works spec car if my memory serves me correctly

Those things are terrifyingly quick

That particular one has been for sale for quiet sometime no @rowdy-gti?? A coupe of folks in the islands have been swooping up these ex-works cars lately

Those AP brakes alone cost something like what, 5 or 8K new?? Me forgets...........

Are you kiddin' me? If that was state side it wouldn't have lasted a day at that price. If that is indeed built to the same spec as a BTCC car, there's probably $150-$200K in that car. On track that would eat a $30K C6 for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You need a full on ALMS C6R to hang with that thing. That isn't a street car converted to a race car. As was mentioned that's a "proper race car". Meaning they built a race car to look like the street car. Big difference.

A little taste of what they can do:

I agree with Hank. That car was built as a full on race car, not a car with a cage bolted in. Only issue I can think of, is where would you be able to race that here? I doubt NASA would let you run it in a TT class. With a good driver, it would hurt some feelings for sure.
