Since the transmission has issues with the LC (Launch Control).. Not forgetting after the usage of LC and disabling the VDC, it will void the warranty. OUCH !! _________________________________________________________________________ Victor, I read somewhere that the new Nissan GTR model (I think it's 2010 upwards la) will not be equip with any LC anymore due to what u just said...transmission issue!!

Drag force is measured by effective front area times the drag coefficient times the speed. Let's say Porsche front area is 200mm2 and GTR boxy front area is 400mm2. The Porsche will experience 60N/mm2 of drag compared to 108N/mm2 on GTR in same speed. Drag coefficient mean nothing just the measure of effectiveness in one single design. Yup that boxy design is effective. But there's still room for improvement by reducing the boxyness thus reducing front area. To all readers out there this piece of information is important for you. Cd are just used for advertisement purposes. Get more information before you embarass yourself. Hey Paul, maybe you should start posting some lessons to educate us the readers.
