If no, it’s in almost the same boat as the Z06, and I refuse to believe those first 1k miles were without punishment. Nope, it wasn’t. Why wasn’t it? Because Nissan voids any warranty where traction control was turned off. See what I’m getting at here? It’s like building a 500hp car, and then saying “Sorry you can only use 150hp, but if you’d like to use the rest you run the risk of your transmission blowing up and we WILL 100% void your warranty”.

Wrong. I’ve heard of a few situations where the warranty fixed the GTR’s problems/transmission. > Please, take your ignorance back to roclife where it belongs. > Oh wait, even THEY THINK YOU’RE AN IDIOT.

I’m not saying it should be covered, I just find it funny how Chevy can go prancing around talking about ‘Competition Mode’ in the Z06, and throwing around advertisements of their car catching air at the 'Ring, but yet turn a blind eye every time one goes to a dragstrip or a track.

I don’t have any more responses for you because three things are clearly obvious. A. You don’t know how to read B. You’ve never been near a dealership, track, or business environment in your life. C. I can’t acknowledge your clearly LOGICAL arguments because I’m blinded by my undieing love for domestic cars. Now I will go do a burnout in my camaro. ---

If the reviews are correct, it is a GREAT car for the cost. Nope, GTR is a great car for the money. But taking a tuning icon and trying to make it tuneproof. Plus not making a manual option and having a less than stellar auto tranny really is not what the skyline was all about. My 300ZX comment was just about how Nissan has a history of taking a good thing and messing with the formula too much. With the relaunch of the 350Z and now the 370Z, they tried to get back to their roots and offer a great car for the money, but it is still too heavy for my liking. ---

i thought i saw his argument at the beginning, and then i got confused as fuck. Does the gtr still have the rev limiter set to 150 unless at a “nismo certified track” calculated by the gps or w/e bullshit :lol: And what happens if the car breaks down at this certified track due to racing? Will everything be covered under warranty? ---

There was a yellow c6 z06 that blew his motor at the glen this summer when I was there for a HPDE. I think he misshifted on the toe of the boot and blew oil all over the track. I bet this is the guy ---
