a feature called VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control-which allows for tire spinning fun-when off) activates LC (Launch Control) is stated in the warranty that if you switch it off---warranty voided. Owners have not only voided warranties, but also busted up the transmissions in the process.

Lucky the GT-R is capable, because it ain't pretty.

I actually think of the cobalt SS when I see the GTR.

Except that the Skyline has had those taillights since the 80's

1989 Skyline GT-R

You really think that's the market they were trying to corner in the JDM?

And the 50's Corvettes had the "combat" spoiler too, right?

No, what I really think is that four round taillights has been a Corvette and GM trademark for decades: Camaro, Manta, Opala, Corvair. . .

Never heard of two of those cars and the Camaro had 4 tailights like....once? Mid 70's? In 4 generations. Corvair? You are really reaching here.

Skyline was a JDM only car initially, doubt they were trying to imitate the 'vette. Certainly not, IMO, a GM 'trademark'
