While the Miata got a very literal interpretation of the original BRE paint job, Brock has apparently worked with painters at Nissan to produce a modern iteration. The Z will be revealed at a special dinner at Road Atlanta on April 29 to kick off the big weekend of vintage racing. <\/p>\n<p>The car has been built to SCCA T2 specs, and plans call for it to do some racing at Z Club events and SCCA regionals this summer. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/40th-anniversary-bre-nissan-370z\/\">40th Anniversary BRE Nissan 370Z<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/40th-anniversary-bre-nissan-370z\/#2911694\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/breliveriesformitty157_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/40th-anniversary-bre-nissan-370z\/#2911693\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/breliveriesformitty100_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Nissan]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/20\/nissan-working-on-bre-spec-370z-to-mark-cars-40th-anniversary\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Nissan working on BRE 370Z to mark car&#8217;s 40th anniversary<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/20\/nissan-working-on-bre-spec-370z-to-mark-cars-40th-anniversary\/\">Nissan working on BRE 370Z to mark car&#8217;s 40th anniversary<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:19:00 EST.
