If you have ever been in a GTR, especially at the track, driver or passenger, you'd realize it isn't just the transmission... it's the suspension, the chassis, the overall design, and electronics working in a near perfect harmony delivering the amazing performance as it does.

If it was that easy, just putting a fancy transmission in it to make it as fast or faster than the GTR, other manufacturers like Ferrari/Lambo would have done it ages ago.

I love my Z and would never compare it to GTR. They are just different cars on different levels...

/\ must be new for '12 or '13, cause if my old '09 and '10 had that option, I'd still be driving one of them

(maybe I just didn't set up the R mode buttons in the correct configuration...sh!t)

that's because it voided the warranty (and your marriage license) to do that phil

So, it's like launching a GTR with VDC off then huh? Still, woulda been nice to know it's there, even if I never used it.
