Is it true that you void your warranty if you activate launch control on a GT-R?

Guys lets keep this on topic of the GT-R please. Removed several posts that were starting to take this thread downhill.

Still wish they would put a regular gearbox in those, or at least have it as an option.

Okay, one person has already used the "win" word to describe the car. No other copy cats required.

So Nissan has increased the power on the GTR. Has the price gone up as well?
I wonder if modding fanatics will try to get even more power out of it and fail.

That is an awesome car and kudos to them for having such an incredible machine at such a good price compared to other super cars. But I wonder about one thing, how does this affect the long term reliability of the engine?

Squeezing so much power out of a boosted engine like this is bound to cause problems especially for those who take it to the track every weekend.

Same Here.

I heard that break pads (maybe calipers, i forgot) start to wear off after a few thousand miles (under 20k miles, i think), and the cost to fix it is like $7,000.

This is just what i heard. Numbers might not be that accurate, but the concept of the breaks messing up and the repair fee being astronomical is still the same.

If I had one I'd revamp the brake system to something less troublesome.
