Post GT-R "LM" Edition, faster than the V-Spec..

Ok what the hell.. now Nissan is going to release an even faster version of the GT-R thats a step above the V-Spec.. it will be called the "LM Edition".... It will be a V-Spec with a special enhanced and lighter body, even better brakes, suspension, faster transmission, lighter wheels, power atleast 600 HP...
can you say 0 to 60 MPH in 2.8 seconds?? It will for sure cost somewhere between $100,000 to $125,000 here in the U.S.A.. I know some of you guys/girls would consider this car... Its gonna make many super exotics seem slow by comparison, right? I guess we'll just have to wait and see it in person and read all the magazine road/track tests to confirm for sure..

i love the car but Nissan has to be willing to stand behind the car as well. apparently if you disengage the stability management and later have an issue with your transmission they will void your warranty??? this is the cliff notes version of course but this is the rumor. apparently the cars a equipped with the equivalent of a little black box.

That's Nissan saying car is 100K and you'll spend 25K in trannys when they blow and Nis refuses to fix under warranty

We only heard from one side of the stories (owners). There's alway two side to every stories. There might be stuffs in the user's manual that the MFG said not to do or not do under sudden mph. Try drag race/track your mercedes with the "dyno mode" on which turn off everything from ESP, BAS...etc. and something is going to go...BOOM !!! Now see if Mercedes is going to repair it under warranty. Now a day, the ECU/black box will record everything and use it against you. I remember my friend who own an E36 M3 which he blew up the engine while drag racing when he missed shift and down shifted 2 gears at redline and...BOOM! He filed the claims and lost due to the black box 2 papers print out included more then a dozen time doing over 150 mph at 1 am.
