Interesting read.

Possible lower RPM launch control function Vs Launch control being completely removed? Not sure if I have read this right or if it applies equally to Aus DM R35s (I would assume it is to be universally applied).

Although the GTR is primarily designed as a track weapon, it will be interesting to see acceleration and 1/4 mile times with what sounds like a new toned down launch control function.

"The revised programming, Nissan promises, will offer acceleration similar to that with the current launch control, but will do so while the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system remains on. Instead of launching at 4,500 rpm as the original launch control system does, the new system will launch at considerably fewer revs. (Nissan isn't quite sure what this final number will be, but it will be more than the 2,000 rpm currently used when the car is brake-torqued for an acceleration run with the VDC turned on.)"
