sounds like a total downer, but then again what's the price tag. I think I'll stick with the prooven Zo6,
I bet that motor in the GT-R is being pushed to the breaking point, with thier power output...

Subject: Nissan GT-R sports car recognizes racetrack coordinates and aftermarket parts
Apparently the Nissan Corp. has ruined the fun of aftermarket tuners on the latest GT-R high performance street sportscar in Japan. The ECU is set on a hair trigger and balks at many aftermarket performance upgrades as well as non-factory installed tires and wheels through the run-flat detectors.
But more ominously, the onboard navigation system watches your speed via GPS and recognizes popular racetrack locations. You must scroll through a series of menus and agree to disable the 180kph (111mph) speed limiter. Then after thrashing it on the track, you must take it for a $1000 Nissan High Performance Center safety check or the warranty is void.
Big Brother is your co-pilot.
