    Looks like too many people were abusing the car,

    But it's kinda not surprising the transmission went considering just how much grip the car has and it's weight.

    According the edmunds records it's quite a bit slower without LC too.(0-60: 3.5s vs 4.5)

    No doubt that's a huge turn-off for prospective buyers. 3.5s is supercar performance but 4.5s is slower than even an automatic BMW M3 to pick just an example and as such nowhere near a supercar...

    We were discussing the GT-R here recently and some posters were spot on about the weak launch control system
