People are stupid how they drive, that's how shit happens.
You never know... Look at the Nissan GT-R. Transmission horror stories galore. They obviously overlooked this important piece of hardware when building their super car. But then again, this is a Subaru not a Nissan

what nissan actually should have done is not give the car launch control. that would stop all the "horror stories" which are actually dealers not repairing peoples stupid mistake for free. abused products dont make them bad.

i totally agree. when i had my GC8 impreza people said they had bad clutches. i soon learned people just didn't know how to drive the car properly.

Yah but Nissan's notorious for crappy transmissions, not only on the GT-R. And they clearly didn't build all of the GT-Rs components to handle the stock horsepower if people are breaking them, no matter how carelessly they are launching them.
