Come on man. You know exactly what he means and theres no reason to fish to get him to say it. If you had a GTR and didn't get "stuck in mud or snow" once in a while then you're not doing it right.

Which is why I refuse to buy one. I don't want to void my warranty doing something known to break $20K components. I want to buy a car I can drive without fear of that. I suspect most people do, but settle for the GT-R as it has other features they like and they take thier lumps if they break it.

I'll have to browse the GTR forums to see if they break after a few launches like you suggest.

Good to have another opinion on this. I knew it didn't sound right and definitely sounds like something they'd work out.

wasn't with 2009's. It's an issue with LC1. Most 2009's have been reflashed to LC2 or LC3 so "Launch Control" is all under warranty now.
