WHY does everyone seem let down by the GTR

[JITB]

As of right now. You touch ANYTHING on that car. You void the warranty. YES that means jacking it up, removing the underpanels and changing the oil. Do that, and you are without warranty. That is Factory. A dealer may tell you differently so that you buy the car, but per Nissan factory. You are screwed.

As for the GTR having no potential......um.....i'm gonna stand next to you and make funny faces on that one. NO POTENTIAL?!?!?!?!

Some companies have already developed parts for it. Mines has an exhaust that makes an extra 20hp more. Now, this catback system is NOT approved for the car. Some Japanese dealers are turning a blind eye to it or so the story goes. But in the end, they can strip your car of the warranty for changing it out. Now thats IN JAPAN that you might find them turning a blind eye. Not here. BIG difference between the 2.

Having worked in both the dealer and as a claims adjuster for Ford, I can tell you that in the end, all the warranty has to do is point to the line in the paragraph that says, "No modification". And that is that..if they want too. I have warrantied peoples cars with exhausts, cold air intakes, suspension mods (done right), and many others. But thats at the claims adjusters discretion. Most times you will not find a person that knows jakc**** about cars behind the phone and they will deny right away leaving you to fight it and 99% of the time lose. Then, they strip the warranty and you are left with nothing. Aftermarket warranties are different.

In the end, it boils down to a choice. Do you want your already fast car to go faster or don't you. If you do, then say bye bye to the warranty like a man and do what you want to do. If not, don't.

But the warranty is NOT the reason why people are dissappointed. It is the difference between pre-release test car numbers and showroom delivery cars.
You can complain about warrenties all day, but you are barking up the wrong tree.

i know the warranty will be voided.. for anything. Its nothing new...with any new performance car, manufacturers are anal with their warranties. i didnt say the GTR has no potential.. other guy did... i was just shocked he would say such a insane thing.

And i dont know where u get the pre-release numbers wrong? The GTR hasnt let us down with production numbers either. They are pretty much the same as what they said it would be. They said 480hp at the crank.. And reportedly makes up to 550hp at the crank. Where are u all getting this information from?
