    I'm assuming you were there when he was "constantly using launch control and turning VDC off" ?

    Talk about blowing sh!t out of proportion. EVERYONE has the same issues.

    BMW S54 engines were blowing up when they first came out

    Mustang Cobras were blowing head among many other issues

    C6 Z06s had roofs that wouldnt stay on the car, the diff clunked, the axle bolts were loose sometimes... you get the idea.

    Why single out Nissan? EVERYONE has growing pains. Surely you didnt expect the first year model to be freakin perfect!

    Most of you probably wouldn't buy a GT-R anyway so might as well join the club and talk smack right?

    Mike, you know I love your car, but its not holding nowhere near as much as a GTR is holding. Put 500 hp to it and do a couple of launches and see whats left, it sure as hell wont be bewbies :boobies:

    Agreed


    **** WRX's were breaking tranny's when people tried launching them in 02.

    And if you go in for brake service and your rotors show burn spots from abuse, they wont touch them, even if your paying for it unless its to buy new rotors.

    Everyone knew the GTR would have some kind of flaw just like every first production version of a new car.

    This is nothing like any of the problems you suggested. I highly doubt that this is in some way a manufacturer's defect considering the circumstances. Why don't you inform yourself a bit more about this particular situation?


    PS: Can any of the Ferrari/Lambo/911 (Turbo, GT3, GT3RS, GT2)/Etc. owners chime in with their warranty manuals on whether or not THOSE companies include abuse under their factory warranties? I'd love to know about that.
