Unlike the GTR, it's far more difficult for a service department to use the Z06's onboard diagnotics (there is that hidden 'black box' but that's not used as a transmission warranty watchdog) to bite the driver in the *** and deny warranty...smart business move on their part though, at least Nissan benefits from it.

Either way, I'm not saying that they would, should or will cover it, I'm merely responding to YOUR claim of it being easily remedied...obviously you're now in total agreement that it is NOT necessarily so easily remedied...it might cost the owner $18k plus labor.

Once again, be it right or wrong, yes warranty might be voided...same goes for the GTR as we all now agree on.

I've never heard of a Porsche tranny's warranty being voided with no modifications to the car, only a "launch method..." Interesting.
I had leased a 2006 BMW 3-series in 2006, and I became a "casual" BMW enthusiast... I never heard of that one either... I also thought they covered any powertrain malfunction/damage during the warranty period as long as there were no modifications made to the car that they could prove.
Maybe I'm a bit behind the Euro-cars currently, but this is all news to me.

Most likely not, though they actually still might if you took the dishonest route, put the stock tires back on and wiped the rubber from the wheel wells/numbers off of the car.

As far as an acceleration contest between the two vehicles from a standing street start & completely BONE stock it should be well known that a AWD vehicle is going to pull any RWD for the first 60 feet & in this case probably the first 1000 feet . But , by that time the big Z should be coming on strong & closing in on the GT-R . In a top speed contest I'm sure the Vette would walk away on the big end .

No matter what the hp is 1000awhp=1000rwhp.

Still waiting for the 'cooler weather' test results but as of right now the Nissan is an 11.5/11.6 second car...the quickest that a bone stock Z06 has ET'd is a 10.9@128+mph (10.8@129+ on drag radials) with other stock ones having clocked 11.1s and 11.2s in less than ideal air.

The imports are taking over! Dont get me wrong, id take a Z06 instead but the GTR is a great attempt. Its a force to be reckoned with, so to speak. I wonder if any other import brand is willing to step up & maybe surpass the GTR? Imports still cant out due american trucks or the vette. Seems they are up to the task though!

you know what's the most beautiful part of these gtr's? the fact that they are only good for 15 super launches then its bye bye transmission. search over at nicoclub. read it originally at a supra site and found it to good to be true. I laugh at the gtr durability and how the hype and lies are unravelling.
bringing exotic maintenance prices and quasi exotic performance to mass produced cars! way to go nismo!

Well even without 'super launch' mode the car will still be pretty quick just footbraking it, it just might not hit those mid-high 11s every time.
For those that still prefer domestic nameplates (and great values)
it is comforting to know that one can buy a brand new Corvette LS3 for under $43k right now, a great handling/stopping/looking car that has covered the 1/4 mile in 11.7 seconds at almost 120mph in bone stock trim.
Over 30mpg on the highway to boot. ![Thumb](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thumb.gif)
