challenger looks amazing....but the camaro owns it tho
m a little lost here, cause theres a GT-R nutswinger on a nother board, and according to him, there is no acutal launch control, its just something all the journalists discovered with the VDC being turned off.
still a super car should be able to handle the abuse
Ive seen what you have to do - its a series of button presses and holding down a pedal and blah blah - its not exactly flipping a switch. I totally see the pt you're making but its not in the manual and it is obviously abusive. i think the root problem is the seemingly weak transmission.
However, tuners are beginning to question how the stock gearbox will hold up under the strain of additional output. MCR, which brought out its GT-R for filming of Hot Version 93, has been exacting its own brand of punishment on its tuned GT-R and is worried how long the transmission will last. It's not clear if the tranny woes are due to the clutch plates or something else, but it's been all but confirmed that dual-clutch gearboxes have an issue with additional torque since the friction surface is much smaller than on a stock (read: single plate) clutch. MCR's best guesstimate is that the stock 'box might only be able to hold up to the additional power for 12 months before problems begin arise. Now, we're particularly interested in how Nissan is beefing up the tranny on the V-Spec to handle its rumored 600 hp.
And here's something else I found:

Nissan isnt the only one with transmission problems and Vettes (POS) are full manual transmissions, granted there forums, but you CANT totally blame only the vehicle manufactors, ANY car you beat the shit out of WILL break. Now stating that I do not like the fact with nissan stating all these numbers and only being able to use a function 2-3times a transmission replacement, reguardless the buyer has signed the papers knowing that this function cannot be used too much or it will viod the warrents, 480 to 4 wheels NO transmission will last very long, thats bullshit. Now you cant also think that ANY sports car owner dose not beat his car at all.
This is why Ferarri OWNS ANYthing built YAY.!!
