I also can't wait to see how many of the gtr's drivetrains take a shit after they are tested by real world people in real world situations. The launch control is awesome and allows for great times, but how long will it last...
Yeah, the Spec V should have good times around the ring, I already posted the link to the times from the engineers, but those aren't official. There's also a lot more unknown about the Spec V compared to the ZR1. Nissan has said very little about what changes their making, while everything about the ZR1 has been out there for months now. It will be interesting to see.
I do remember seeing some comments about that launch control system. Apparently it's pretty hard on the drivetrain, so you're only supposed to do it every now and then. It would be interesting to see how it holds up to a day at the drag strip or something.
