that is correct. '09 had the highest (that i can remember) launch RPM. while this did lead to some failures, the '09 and '10 GTR's seem to have more transmission issues in general with seals and o-rings and what not. they seemed to have ironed them out mostly by '11. the '12s have a modified transmission with a physically larger 1st gear along with other minor refinements. i do know the '10s have a better LCD for the nav screen that was much higher resolution. there were some suspension tweaks every year and of course in '12 they came with larger turbo piping and went up to 530hp (now 545hp) out of the box. yes you can get the older ones there without much trouble but the newer ones have more mod potential.
