2010 LC2 3K rpm launch 0-60 3.5
2011 LC3 3.3k RPM launch Manual mode RRR only 0-60 3.3
2012 LC4 3.5-4K RPM Manual mode RRR only 0-60 2.9

Remember that one time when I smoked you because you were hunting for gears?

here are the facts...

2009 ( received TCM update to 2010 spec LC2 ) 0-60 3.5
2010 LC2 3K rpm launch 0-60 3.5
2011 LC3 3.3k RPM launch Manual mode RRR only 0-60 3.3
2012 LC4 3.5-4K RPM Manual mode RRR only 0-60 2.9

im not even going to address the GTR drives itself comment... take to a track at 150mph and see how well it drives itself

Please find me one shred of paper/pdf/etc. from Nissan that says the GT-R has launch control.

Yes, in 2012 they put wider tires on it and gave it more horsepower.

They further have allowed the engine more free reign when VDC is engauged so that people would stop abusing VDC and so they could hit their target "3.5" second 0-60 time.

3.5 second to 60, did you not read, it is at <3.0
Second, go spend sometime doing the research yourself. Clearly you are here to just bash a car (or brand since you hate on the 370z just as much).

dude, you've already lost, give it up... MC has more info on GTR's than nissan because that's one of his jobs, just let it go. you were wrong to stir the pot. seems like every thread that mentions a GTR gets some jack@$$ come along and talk about warranty issues and broken transmissions when it's a mute point now

Please refer to the original statement from Nissan stating 3.5 seconds. I think everyone knows about Nissan crowing about their 2012 hitting 60 in less than 3 seconds by now, lol. I was referring to the original car as released by nissan with the promise of 0-60 in 3.5

No, no hate for the 370Z except the low horsepower. Other than that, sick car.

When the man who designed the car says himself that "there is no launch control", you want to dispute that? Is MC the designer? If so, will you issue another statement correcting your previous one?

Can you provide facts of the designer saying the car has no launch control?

How about a video of an interview with him where he was SPECIFICALLY asked about it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1bHGaV-Lvw

Here you go.

MC: (Mr Mizuno, if I may address you by your name in-forum), I know you stated that the "so called launch control" is there only for un-sticking the car from mud or snow. Since the car has been redesigned? so that it is a true launch-control, have you gone public as you did in the video above? Thankyou, sir!

Also, you stated above in your interview that I linked to that you had never stated the GT-R had "launch control" and that the market had PERCIEVED it as such, even though it wasn't. Has Nissan decided to formally call this launch control? Again, thanks for taking time away from your job working on the GT-R to post on these forums!Nice to see Nissan taking such an active role with their consumers. That's awesome.

does the OP even have an '09, or are we just talking about a car that has nothing to do with this thread?'

why are we arguing about launch control on a car that the OP has already stated he doesn't want anymore for various reasons.
