Datsun's, err..... i mean Nissan's new skyline,..uh, i mean GTR . wHaTeVer! (an overpriced rice rocket)
Looks wise it doesn't do much for me.
Performance is impressive (and yes, all the gizmos and do-dads are very cool)
Would i dish out $90,000+ for one?.........
Would you?

Turning off the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) basically turns off your warranty for that time. The warranty isn't voided, they can just refuse repairs as a result for having VDC off. You have to turn off VDC before you can engage the sequence to start the Launch Control.

if i was a baller and had a gt-r, i'd use the launch control and turn off the vdc... if it breaks, who cares, i'll get my personal garage attendant to get a guy overnighted from japan with a new tranny, buy a another gt-r or just drive one of my other cars because money ain't a thing.
but since i'm not, wow that car is a pos....

Some people have had the transmissions crap out on them after repeated use of the Launch Control feature. The guys on NAGTROC said that Nissan was most likely aware of the flaw and produced them anyway. Hence the 7 spots in the owners manual for tranny replacements.

what the *** was nissan thinking when they decided to void the warrentee on an optional launch control program? If it comes standard on gtr's FROM FACTORY, then it should be included in the warrentee without question. Nissan fuked up badly on this one, and expects owners to shell out 20k for a tranny that may or may not *** up if this VDC is off??? *** NISSAN for this $90k piece of scrapmetal.

Didn't even see that line, your right man, they should have put black rims with a red lip on them and aftermarket HID's (replace the stock ones)..
Waste of engine size, they're so loud and slow.
Then?
Doubt it can blow the doors of my car, then my car wouldn't have passed safety.. Anyways im sure some of the people on this board can run circles around those big displacing box cars. What are they now? like 3 times our engine size?
