Under the hood, the Nissan GT-R features an all-new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 "VR38" engine, featuring plasma-sprayed bores and a special twin-turbo exhaust manifold system. A secondary air management system enables the newly designed powerplant to provide approximately 40kg/m of torque during ordinary low-rev driving, which gives an optimum air-fuel ratio for around-town efficiency and helps the Nissan GT-R meet ultra-low emission vehicle (U-LEV) standards in Japan.
The Nissan GT-R's new engine produces 480PS (353kW) at 6400rpm and maximum torque of 60kgm (588Nm) from 3200 to 5200rpm. Putting the power to the ground is an all-new GR6-type dual clutch transmission, with paddle shifting and a Borg Warner six-plate dual clutch for direct control.
SW that thing is bad a$$! Hope your transmission holds up. I've been reading alot and seems people are having some issues with using the launch control and the the transmission holding up to abuse. I know you will put her thru the paces!!!
Here is the real question for me:
How does this thing compare to your Z06's? I know yours are not stock but curious as to all the magazine hype claims.

kicks ass and takes names. They tested it against a Z06 and a 911 and it spanked them both.
More info has been coming out that the GTR they used to test against the Z06 and 911 had race tires, gutted interrior, and not a stock factory computer tune.
