    To paraphrase Mugatu... "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE"
    Everyone who makes a stupid and incorrect joke about the transmission should just walk out now. Go back and re-read the actual stories about the transmissions that broke. I believe it was 1% or less of all GT-Rs produced, and it happened on the ones where idiots did 20+ launches back-to-back-to-back-etc... NOTHING can handle that abuse.You will fry any car if you do that.
    The only acceptable jokes are warranty or 'Ring time/Porsche related.
    You people all want a manual gearbox? You would blow that up long before you hurt the current system.
    Go drive one and get back to me...

    Buying a stock GT-R you are throwing all warranty concerns to the wind. If you're gonna break something on your own dime, make it worthwhile. Switzer, I salute you.

    @laxmax613: Actually it's a Corvette, and it flat out destroys this wanna be super car, but then it again it owns pretty much everything not costing three or four times as much. Just look at the way it embarrassed it at the ring.
    Sorry, but this car isn't that impressive when sit next to other 'super cars'.

    I was going to say "finally someone put the high quality in that the GT-R was so sorely lacking," but alas... All $20k buys you is intercoolers, radiators, over-tweaked boost, and a completely wrecked drivetrain in 20k miles.
    *sigh* I miss the R32...

    And it's still cheaper than the Spec-V.
    Just wondering, did Nissan make this car less tuneable than the R34 like physically limiting what the engine could do? I don't recall seeing a 1000+ hp R35, yet, whereas R34's regularly had more power than the Veyron.

    @Mobius mourns his fallen comrades: I think it's because of all the ECU safety checks... not to mention, the VQ isn't quite as durable as the old RB26DETT. Lastly... well, there's the transmission.

    I think a tuning company needs to do the best thing for this car: Drop in a real, proper six speed manual transmission with a foot-operated clutch and that little lever in the center (you do remember how to operate one of those, don't you?).

    @CaveTroll: Disagree. Buy a 370Z for driving pleasure (turn off SycroRev if you want to heel-and-toe yourself), but buy a Godzilla for the technical face-peeling amazement.
    Or a Corvette for "F**k yeah America" Kentucky brutality and 'Ring-dominating leaf springs.

    @CaveTroll: I agree Mr.Troll. I was just thinking that some intrepid designer and engineer need to build a transmission capable of holding up to the abuse that these cars will inevitably get. Also a 6 speed row your own would be good for that car.

    @NewbiusMaximus: Sans Launch Control, the R35 is quite a solid car from what I hear, except in the hands of crazed ricers, but that's not exactly the car's fault.

    Although if they made the DCT more capable, they would have been able to keep the LC and truly make the car a tech beast.
