Or one person in the history of humankind could presume that since you cannot find ONE shred of evidence of Nissan calling it "launch control"...that they never intended it to be.
If they had intended it to be, it would have at least been marketed as such one SOME occasion by Nissan.
Fixed. :tup:

matt, please post a PDF outlining the LC2 (or 3) update where it CLEARLY calls the system "Launch Control" repeatedly for this................. gentleman
If MC has paperwork from Nissan refferring to a feature accessed after turning the VDC off as "launch control", then I will gladly admit I am misinformed.

The only way a GTR could beat me is in a race to get out of a snow drift first.

Lol, I am just curious what kind of #'s the 2012 lays down. If it really does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, that is impressive. I am curious if it will be quicker than it's American counterpart, the Z06 in the 1/4.

I am pretty sure it will be a good bit quicker...

they compared it to the ZR1 on top gear UK. I believe the ZR1 was slightly faster, but they said that you'd need to be a very high level driver to get the ZR1 around the track faster than the GTR
this is the video you are looking for BTW. i dont really care bout the launch control issue, i have never considered buying a GTR (not in my price range) and havn't done much research on it, but it took me about 2 seconds to find this video.

They are going to need to sqeeze 10's out of that new GT-R to hold the record over the Z06. If they can do that, I will be IMPRESSED!

I found it a couple of pages and 15 minutes ago, thanks for posting it in this format, though, looks better!
The launch-control feature isn't a big deal for me, but the child in me does like a burn-out now and then, and with the GT-R, that would void the warranty ASAP on the driveline. It makes the car seem even more "isolated". No tire-spinning. No shifting. You just turn the wheel, modulate the brakes/accelerator, flick some levers. Great on the track, but I think I would get bored on the street.

Just went and looked. Nice! I wonder what the rest of the 1/4 mile pass would look like.

considering MC ran a very low 11 with LAUNCH CONTROL 2 i'd imagine it will be right at the breaking point of a high 10 or 11 even... that's my guess tho

ok ok.....enough about the GTR. I'm not here to discuss my current car... Discussing any precautions with an upcoming vehicle.
