and he'd be correct with that claim. 600whp if he gets it tuned right.

Apparently the white GTR in Panama already has the HKS kit installed on it and its faster than a stock LP640 (straight line acceleration only...) and since this past Saturday, there is a major debate as to whether or not its quicker than a 550hp Porsche 944 Turbo (race car, approximate weight 2,500 lbs.).
Personally, I believe its comparing apples to oranges, as one is a 'daily driver' and the other is a road car turned into track car. Pretty impressive what a GTR with mild modifications can do, but I still believe that the issues with the transmission is its own Achilles' heel, and a big one at that.

6 documented failures (by nna) out of 2400 '09 gt-r's, not bad. considering how many launches, mods are actually being done, this is a very small margin. now that transmission upgrades are coming out, combined with lc being removed, i think this issue will go away shortly.

although it would've been nice if nissan designed the transmission to withstand more than 533lb-ft (i think - it was somewhere around there).
