2010 Nissan GT-R To Lose Troublesome Launch Control
By Matt Hardigree, 10:30 AM on Thu Nov 20 2008, 476 views
Nissan execs have apparently told the reporters over at Edmunds Straightline that the 2009 Nissan GT-R will be the first and last GT-R with the "launch control" system as the company is tired of dealing with the warranty nightmares that have convinced people they can't do GT-R donuts. Said one high-ranking exec:


It's gone," he said when asked if launch control would return in 2010. "We just don't want to deal with the warranty nightmare anymore
Hey, but there's a silver lining.

Said the same source, "It'll make the 2009 GT-R really special. It'll be the only R35 with launch control." So remember that GT-R owners when your engine falls out of your brand new exotic car and Nissan won't replace anything because your teenage son used launch control once in his high school's parking lot in a misguided attempt to impress a girl in the marching band.
