Fuel delivery is through twin tanks, the primary tank holds 26.4 gallons, while the other holds 13.2 gallons of racing fuel.

The racing packages offered are the base GT-R with a 2000HP engine, the GT-LS (Land Speed) with 2700 HP driving it, and the GT-D also with a 2700 HP tuned for drag racing.

Street legal options for the 50 states include the GT-S, that will have a 600-800 HP version of the GT-R, the GT-SS (Super Sport) which can be fitted with either the 2000 or 2700 HP engine, and of course the GT-X which can be fitted with the engine of your choice.
