Nah, somebody did take the bait I laid.

Stock, all I would need.

Until you hit that button and then you need a new tranny...

I would love a new GTR, but would buy a C6 Z06 over it.

[ihaveaids]

The solution is pretty simple, don't hit the button.
I just love the way the look and all the features, speed isn't everything.

[KA-T_240]

You will not be able to hit the button on a new model. Starting in 2010, the GTR will not come with launch control. GTR without the launch control is much slower.

I wonder how long the tranny will last with out launch control....

[ihaveaids]

I don't understand why you would need to launch it. It would be plenty fast for me, especially for a street car.

[KA-T_240]

Once you have a car with power you will learn.

[fdfreak]

too many cars that would be on my list. But if I had to choose, I would have to say a '71 Cuda with a modern muscle car chassis. and a Twin turbo v8 in the 7-800hp range.

Unpossible. The great thing about arguing with people like Jason is that they are too dumb to know when they lost.

I roll with dedicated snows on all my winter-driven cars.

Quattro + snows >> RWD + snows

I still want AWD for our winters.

According to the GT-R tech at our local Nissan, the transmission lasted an average 8 launches in R-mode. Some may last longer, some won't.

But about the 2010 GTR, they will release a V-Spec trim. Less weight, less strain on the transmission.

I always get a kick out of people dogging on a car in it's first year of public use. This happens often (although not to the precision manufacturers like Porsche) but it just goes to show that there are always kinks being worked out.

Remember the roof skins delaminating on the Z06 when it first came out? People are so quick to forget things like that.

[KA-T_240]

So it well maybe last 20 launches....(if the v-spec has launch control) Also, isnt the v-spec going to have more power?

[Afsil80]

Yes.

I'm more interested in seeing how it compares to the ZR1. I believe it will surpass the Z06 in performance, and def. in price tag.

[MisterCMK]

One more reason that Nissan = weaksauce

[zbrown]

12 valve cummins, with a smaller responsive set of compound twins, injectors, governor springs, head studs, built ATS transmission and ATS 5 disk converter....
