A decent handling car from america?Am I seeing things?or did the long back strait help them out?

doubt the R35 boys will give up though,I reckon they'll have another go at it soon.

Nissan seems to be holding back the V spec for a while untill all others try their best.

I reacently read a artical on Porsche contradicting the GTR's ring time.

the car was not stock though. It was apparently using the 'hardcore package option" with suspension and aero adjustments.

I hear the GT-R fanboys are also not admitting that the GT-R transmission is a piece of crap. Even Nissan only managed like 35 launches before it had to be replaced

I was driving my gtr two weeks ago and I heard a loud noise coming from the rear. I turned immediately had my gtr towed to crown nissan st. petersburg fl. They didn't touch my car only called some techs from tennessee to look at the car and record the noise, 4 days later two guys from japan to download some info from the car then left. Then I get a call from the dealer to tell me the news, and they told me that the car was driven without vdc too much and nissan will not warranty the transmission which they said was destroyed, I asked them how much to fix it they told me 20k, no freaking way I will pay 20k on top of what i just paid for the car. I called the gtr number and also talked to nissan consumer affairs got nowhere, now the car is sitting at the dealer. I know we shouldn't launch the car but why own it if you cant use this function, don't sell a car that goes 0-60 in 3.4 sec if the only way you can achieve this speed is to void the warranty , false advertising. Here is the bad news people were fearing it has happened to me and Nissan has told me there are already three people in my shoes, if you are one of these people email me, we have got to get together on this. Just think if any of you guys have taken the vdc off just a few times you have already voided your warranty, good luck what a joke nissan.

As usual GTR is designed to have better grip on the corners... maybe faster cornering ....
