Given that other cars might have or come with launch control, how many times do you think owners actually use it compared to the GT-R crowd? I can't see anyone with $100k plus Porsche/Ferrari/Lambo use launch control even if they had it. The risk of breaking parts is ALWAYS going to be there. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that GT-R owners are more abusive when it comes to LC than their competition. It's one thing to drive hard, but its entirely another thing to frequently use LC. Plus as ChrisN has stated, nearly all transmission deaths have occurred through the frequent use of LC.
