RCR's Next car should be.....

[Troy]

That is really freaking cool! Might have to give the SLC a second thought now.....:idea:

 

[Mike]

We will start taking orders in August
No problem with a big block at all

The kit will be formatted similar to the SLC deluxe plus package ,there is only going to be one kit package available ... Deluxe plus

Purchase agreement paperwork and spec sheets are already available for potential customers

If your state allows component cars to be registered then there will be no problem

Argh.... You had to go ahead and do it, didn't you. You're killing me... I like this car. Everybody has a GT40 so that didn't grease the monkey, but this...

 

[Justin]

And now we wait for the Dean Lampe GT-R build.

 

[Brian]

If I were on the "board" at RCR ( LOL )..... and looking to build something new. I'd focus more on something a bit more obtainable for the masses!

Me being a Zcar guy from way back, I've always wondered by Nissan has never stepped up and capitalized on the retro style opportunity for the early S30Z.

I would build something along this line. :thumbsup:

Here are the reasons I would consider a car like this...
Can be a Tribute car, to the 70's SCCA Racers
Make it more obtainable for the masses ( higher volume focus for sales )
Z clubs in every nation, state, around the world ( Cult following )
Large, already established following = LARGE opportunity for sales.


With my 25yrs of experience with Datsun customers, clubs, forums. I can almost garauntee, and sum-up sales by 1 simple phrase..... "If you build it, they will buy!" LOL

Nissan, you need to wake-up!

 

[Justin]

That looks terrible. That design doesn't know whether it wants to be retro or modern. It's a mess.


There's still a ton of old Datsuns out there. And there's quite a few that have been restored or resto-modded. I think you're asking for the impossible.

Have you seen the Apex?

 

[Ken Roberts]

Will the GT-R use Ford GT tail lights? I hear they are hard to come by and sell new for $800 a piece when available.

See post #11 http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php/14260-rear-lamps-(tail-lights)/page2

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

We will be using our own version which will be Hella LED in the center and an outer ring

 

[Austin Stacey]

If it's based on the same price structure as the SLC, please add me to the order list! I've been waiting for an affordable ford-gt alternative for years--especially an r version. On a side note, I still think the sleek, silver interior on the Ford gt's is more modern looking than just about any new car on the road today.

Did I miss something? Are there pictures of the new offering?

I missed this post... Or was drunk...

Most important info: 3" taller than the SLC. I'm in!!!!

 

[Patrick]

Does anyone have pricing information yet? What engine/trans combo will work?

 

[Justin]

This car is just coming out with first orders going through in August. Fran will probably put out a price list in the next few days/weeks.

This is a very exciting car.

 

[Tyson Silva]

This is very cool

I love the Furai.....

I see it was in a fire and was destroyed

Mazda Furai - Nulon blog

If there is ever an SLC2 it will have some seriously sweepy lines like the Furai....

I love the Furai as well. It's absolutely gorgeous. Also, I see someone mentioned the BAC Mono, which I think is a beautiful car too.

The SLC is a great looking car, and if you ever came out with an SLC2 and made it "sweepy" like the Furai that would be VERY interesting. The McLaren P1 also has some of the "sweepyness" going on, and is absolutely gorgeous as well.

How about a slc conversion kit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_thY_XX1jA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

What is the status of the new Off Road truck racer?
From Fran:

(post #1857) We have already waterjetted and laser cut the first of these and we are assembling it right now...there is no body work per se as its a monocoque chassis up front and the exterior shapes are the chassis.... <fieldset class="fieldset"> <legend>Attached Thumbnails</legend>
</fieldset>

I came across this video and immediately thought of this new truck from RSR. Personally, I remain extremely interested in one of these.
Here is the video that reminded me of this new RCR creation:

We will be taking an HT2 to SEMA this year
We have partnered with a larger company that us excited to have the truck on their displY as pride of place

 

[Doc Kaler]

Here's another company's approach to "off road".....:stunned:

WaterCar

I like Fran's better.....
