Nissan's Continued GT-R Legendary Car Failure

*The_Blur* · 11-20-2008, 05:27 PM

If they could make it any worse, I'm sure they would. They are removing the launch control feature that makes it perform so well from the 2010 GT-R. This is the component that violates warranties and causes transmissions to blow up.

Discuss.

Worthless as a poopy-flavored lollypop.

headpunter · 11-20-2008, 06:17 PM

So what did we learn from this, boys and girls?

That's right. NEVER try to dethrone the Corvette. You will fail miserably.

Ummmm.... the vette? The boys at Nissan didn't even think about the vette during development/testing. It was all about the 911.

They don't care too much about the vette.

Aren't they automatics?

The 911 may have been benchmarked, but for the automotive journals and publications, it was Corvette vs. GT-R most of the time.
