It doesn't really bother me that the V-Spec won't be coming here. A few mods on the current one should even things out nicely

Essentially, launch control was a a computer dynamic that allowed you to unleash the whole car, all-out. It just so happens that the transmission is too weak for the force the motor puts out, and self-destructs if not restrained. Nissan's solution to controlling the tranny-bombs is to limit the power-curve delivered to the transmission, not actually beefing up the tranny like they should.


There's a reason the Corvette has done so well...

Okay now I get what the article is saying, but wouldn't it be a good idea for Nissan to start recalling the current ones and get them fixed? Or should the owners not worry about it and risk getting stranded on the roadside because their trannies went to pieces before something is done (assuming there are for sure no problems just yet)?

What I'm trying to say is that next year's changes are a given, but what about THIS year? What about the GTRs already on the road? That's what Nissan should be thinking about more
