My buddy beliefs that after market alterations are bad since top engineers have determined the best configuration for said vehicle. He raves about the GTR all the time. I just sent him this video. I think he will cry.

probably not as pissed as other GT-R, early GT-R owners who blew their transmissions using launch control when the car first came out.

true, the Tesla roadster doesn't handle as well as the lotus elise, which is what its based on, because of all the extra battery weight, and thats a sports car with an electric motor. This datsun is only good for the straights. I think what they are doing is good and we shouldn't sh1t on it. as of now, every company is saying 'Green' has to be slow and boring, this car is saying and going to the drag strip.

Yes the GT-R run mid/high 11's stock. The one in the video appeared to have run 11.8 which is about right. It's pretty amazing what computers can do.
