and i’m sure the people who drive these cars and blow them up, are not the siq drivers that nissan and gm used when testing their “performance track cars”. So maybe if they passed a test to be ultra siq drivers and not some fucking retard driver, maybe they would cover it under warranty. ---

whats the point of having 500-600whp if you cant use it? 500whp certainly is not usable on any streets in the united states so basically the warranty is there for all the men who are having a middle age crisis and only drive the car for the looks and not the perfomance if your going to sell a car with 500whp you should make it perform at that level and not worry about it breaking and honor the warranty that comes along with it, if your not willing to do that then sell 100whp econo slushbox cars and be done with it ---

I want to take a poop on this thread, it’s so clearly ridiculous. He blew his engine at a racing-related event. His dealer is clearly a dick and it seems apparent he’s not too good with people either. What are we trying to prove in this thread? z06s are unreliable? I don’t get it. I love imports and HATE domestics, but for the record the z06/zr1/acr/hyundai accent are simply better built than the GTR. Maybe the GTR was rushed into production or something who knows. ---

Profits And the first thing you’ll learn about going to the track. Never take a car you cant ball up into a wall and walk away from. Obviously the same applies to engine parts. ---
