Realtime Acura/ Nissan racing UPDATE!

[the3SecondJerk]

OK a long time ago I posted that Realtime Acura was going NISSAN. Well it's true and confirmed by myself. Apparently Nissan dropped tons of money into Realtime's hands and now they are racing. But! It isnt the 350z...rather the Sentra Spec V! Pretty crazy! Mr. Peter Cunningham owner of Realtime and the coolest NSX Ive ever seen is the driver. Acura by the way isnt happy

not to burst your bubble, but this info has been around for the past few months. Good looking out, though.

[the3SecondJerk]

Thats probably because I was the first to inform everyone. I posted many months ago when we delivered the first Nissan engine. I just wanted to let the people that didn't know of Nissan's resurgance into scca/imsa Road racing.

If it was that exact car.. no.

If you bought a sentra and did those exterior mods then yes.

W/o those stickers there would be no car, its all sponsorships.

Now if I bought a NISMO LSD and put similar graphics on my car, I would consider that rice, cuz I had to pay for the LSD and the Stickers.

They get all there stuff for free as long as they drive around looking like a billboard.

[the3SecondJerk]

Exactly, what race car doesn't have logos and sponsors all over their car? Dumb ones don't. But still even for being a sentra it is pretty damn good looking to me.

[DoriftoSlut]

OOhh. The elusive Nismo TE37s!:rolleyes:

I dont Nissan is trying to do with these huge grills, i hate the new Maxima looks wise, and the Murano grill isnt all that good either.

The old Spec V bumper was great, last one year (or was it two), dunno why the sudden change:confused:

I dont like it neather!!! but you have to admit it does look better on the Spec V then both the ugly new Maxima and the Murano (front grill wize that is) :(

i'm not a big fan of the maxima grill... i hope there'll be an aftermarket one that looks nicer. the murano grill i can kinda live with. the new spec v grill isn't too bad. i could live it that.

[MakotoS13]

i once read that it was going ot be dubbed the V-spec sentra but too many skyline folks pissed and moaned so they changed it up. perhaps thats what happened to the sexy front. my bud got one of the last 03's with the good front :)
