At the 2009 SEMA show in the Hankook booth, Dynamic Autosports presented their 2009 Nissan GT-R for the 2010 Formula Drift Season. According to the information in the booth, the car will be powered by a stroked VQ engine from a Nissan 350Z, and use a G-Force transmission. This will help keep the costs down, and will allow Dynamic Autosports to run a drift proven setup. They did not rule out running a VR engine in the future. Come back here to the blog for some more information prior to the 2010 Formula Drift season.
