Not true. You can swap trannys from different cars. The trans is actually quite strong, it just got a bad rap from people on the internet years ago. Stock trannys hold just fine at 700+WHP, built trannys have been holding 1200+WHP without issue. Clutches do need to be upgraded when you start making a lot more power just like any car, and there are plenty of aftermarket clutches/gear sets available to hold what ever kind of power and abuse you want to throw at it.

There are plenty of supras, vettes, vipers, etc that have 1000whp and roll race. You just need a big, sticky tire, long gears, and suspension. The ultima doesnt hook because it weighs nothing.

It is true that they are built in tandem. Each is unique to its' engine. This is straight from Nissan. Although, I didn't mean to imply that they had a different footprint or that that they could not receive an upgrade. Don't know what exactly Nissan is implying by the statement (engine/trans matched). I a$$ume it relates to enhancing under the curve WHP/WTQ through the RPM range.
Don't know what "years ago" means. The car hasn't been out that long.
The owners' nephew has already confirmed that it holds well to 700 Ft-#'s of torque regardless of peakl HP. That's great news. Am only trying to increase my knowledge of the car & its' weak points as power/torque increases.
The GTR is a great car, as is. Want to learn as the aftermarket improves on an already awesome design.

Just to let you know the vette and viper in that vid are both on traction control systems that limit power output until higher gears and speeds. Some of those cars don't see over 1000whp until well over 100mph. Also 24 psi on a C6Z (if you were able to put that much power on even a built LS7) could possibly put that motor well over 1500, more likely closer to the 2000whp range. With that much power you would have some serious issues on the road.
