What I've heard is that the transmission is only good for 15 launches

using the launch control!!!!! That's fucking awesome. OMFG I knew this was going to happen. As soon as the production models were release truth comes out and kick Nissan straight in the mouth

. Apparently when buying the car you have to sign acknowledging that the transmission has a limited number of launches, the brakes are louder than normal, and the excess tire wear due to "S" compound tires.
Frankly, the new evo is hte same way. I saw one shit it self at PIR with only a tune and some toyo R-888s.
