Lol agreed...Nissan probably has something in there to void the warranty on the car if you use even 400hp When I heard them using GPS to track you down and void the warranty if you use it at a track I was in disbelief.

No, the best part wasn't the GPS race track thing. It was when they voided the transmission warranties for using the launch control. I think it's the first production car known to have an advertised feature that if you used it would result in the warranty being voided.

As for the hp increase...it is a yawn. Let's see we'll just up the fuel pressure a smidge and add a couple psi of boost..bingo 500hp. It's not like they really needed to do anything major to the car to get those kind of numbers.

Nissan is a weird car company.

I wouldn't buy a GTR due to the ninny big brother control they want over the car.
