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.

Ive done many launches on new 911s. No problems at all. Its a better controlled "no wear" system. In fact the GT2 was a stick with launch control and there is no wear associated with launches!
