Nowhere in the official literature does Nissan talk about launch control,the feature "doesn't" :sarcasm: exist. There are black box recorders that watch EVERYTHING you do in the car. The second you get halfway to using this feature you have voided your warranty. Technicians are not able to read these boxes, they have to be shipped back to Nissan for their engineers to decode.
If you are wondering how I know this, a friend of mine finished his GTR training not too long ago.
Wtf, that's bullshit. Seriously, until I see that in writing in person on a wall at a Nissan dealership or the company President announces it on CNN or something, that's a load of shit.
In order to use the launch control you have to first turn off the VDC system. It states very clearly in the owners manual to not turn this system off.

ooooookay....so why again did they put it in the car if the driver is not to use it? :wtf:

Bingo. I also think Nissan did it so they could get some great times to show the car "competes" like they claimed it would, when in reality it won't. :nono:
Sounds like the crap ferrari was doing with their paddle shifting gearboxes.
The factory test drivers know a way to make the tranny faster and more aggressive, allowing them to put down better times, but they wouldn't disclose the info...

well lets think of this logically.
#2 car company in the WORLD ready to take the #1 spot with the drab/boring line up they have.
So WHY exactly would they want to bring in another "sports" car when there plain ole corollas, camary's, avalons and the lexus lines have taken them to the top? As a matter of fact, with the current line up, they WILL take the #1 spot. Sports car at this point for toyota is nothing more than another racing program but HIGHLY detuned (Consider that they are in NASCAR, NHRA, F1, IRL/CART).
As for the GT-R. Looks like G35 with a kit.
I think you're a bit out of date, Figgie. Last time I checked, Toyota had taken over the #1 spot early this year.
Like I've said for a while, it looks like an eclipse...
Here's one of the prototypes that makes to really obvious
