I mean, come on, 7:29 or 7:39 still make the car among the fastest production cars around the 'Ring. Who cares?

Tranny problems are overblown. Why is it that we don't hear about more and more trannies failing every week? If there are really 30+ failed trannies, that's about 2/week since volume shipments began. Why have we not heard of new cases in the month or so after the tranny news "broke?"

Perhaps because folks are no longer going out and doing 50 LC's in first 2000 miles? Perhaps because it was never a big problem in the first place?

Yes it is, but only here in 6speed. But seriously, just like how when the BMW 335 first came out and they had major problems with overheating and some going on limp mode, it was few and isolated incidents. But overall i'm sure it's probably only like 2% of the first year production. Same goes with the GTR, the difference is how Nissan will take care of the customers.
