For a company that has been building 6 cylinder motors capable of withstanding 800 hp easily for decades now, I for one will give them the benefit of the doubt that they will work this problem out. If not, they will have a lot of un-happy customers.

Having said that, I am still impressed with what Nissan delivered. They have set the bar higher for all manufactures to meet, and thus, we all benefit.

Finally, like everthing else I read on the internet, I'll take it with a grain of salt until I see something official from Nissan. Personally, I don't think they have a leg to stand on, and given the prices these cars are selling for, I am sure the customers that are buying them can afford some good attorneys.

I cannot honestly disrespect what Nissan has delivered here. It's a great machine bringing some serious threats to the track.

On the other hand, it feels like the car is a race-inspired vehicle that prohibits racing. Granted, every company puts something in the manual about racing, but the GT-R is not intended to be taken lightly. It should say not to drive recklessly. What is written there, if it makes the production manual, basically takes the balls off of the GT-R.
