I can sorta get his POV on this. He is a pretty seasoned driver as I gather so he can handle a supercar on the track thus he doesn't need quite as much help as a more novice driver. However, those of us that are not very good (like myself) would probably really enjoy a car that has all these vehicle control features that help you be an excellent driver even if you may not really be one.

So what he probably considers as "nanny systems" probably really do detract from the excitement where as those of us who don't get to driver supercars everyday still probably find the car very fun and thrilling. I know if I had a GT-R it would put a smile on my face everday.

In regards to the traction control issue. I had one quick question. As I understoof it race mode was just one of the 3 different modes and did not necessarily turn of the VDC? Can someone clarify this? If this is true it would be very disappointing since you will never be able to use your launch mode without breaking your warranty.
