Again, we're not saying the GT-R doesn't have its problems, but when someone says they barely ever used launch control and suddenly their transmission imploded, you wonder if there's more to the story. We would be glad to hear them if people really want to vent, but for now we'll just keep driving our GT-R as hard as ever - "delicate" transmission and all.

It's official. GTR is the most hated car on any given car forums. A lot of people are trying very very hard to justify their similarly priced alternate choices.
I didnt end up with the GTR either. But it doesnt mean I go around and talk trash about GTR on every forum. IMHO, I still think GTR is a great car. At the end of the day, it will still spank your 70k pseudo luxo sport car. Get over it and move on. You made your decision. Live with it, and embrace it.

How do you know GTR transmissions have issues? Do you know anyone personally? Or do you just read junk online and feed yourself on it?
I have about 1000 Track miles on my GTR. Car only gets better by each session as it breaks in. How I can down shift the Borgwarner gears while at the apex is sublime, unmatched by anything I have driven before. have a dragged it? no. such car are not built for it. There is a lot more to this car then 0- 60 times.
anyway talking about if the car can handle the stress from the LC?
well here is a proof that you my friend have jumped on some retarded bandwagon

So why has GT-R production been halted? Nissan automakers just decided to take an extended coffee break

Why don't you just finish your speculation? Nissan stopped production only for the JDM version, production for all other markets is fine. Besides Nissan didn't provide more information, but it looks like it was caused by the recent materials price-hike. Now haters are trying to make it sound like a tranny problem.

I'm jealous that I can't afford 90 grand for an 11 second car!

That's much better, there is nothing wrong with being honest.

GODZILLA is the ultimate. You cant chain it down even with the huge twinkies on it. I love the GTR. I am one of the lucky few who got brochures and even got to sit in one and check oput the hardcore dash layout and info center. Truely amazing. I think its funny that the american car companies can only beat the GTR at Nurburgring by using cars rated at over 600 hp while the GTR rocks a 480 hp motor. Godzilla will rule nurburgring. V spec will destroy the ZR1 and Viper ACR Nurburgring lap times. I am sure of it
GT-R is a great car no doubt about that ... still yet to see it in person on the street.

I mentioned this earlier....I've seen so many dyno results that say the GT-R is rated higher.
