I don't know if the transmission failures are quite as represented here. Were the cars "chipped" (flashed really)? It seems to be the popular thing with turbo cars. Were instructions on how to use launch Control followed? I don't know the answers to those questions, but it would not surprise me that GTR owners crying "foul" had either modified the car, or ignored explicit instructions, or both.

In the meantime, I hope that the performance of the GTR causes Porsche to raise the performance bar. Oh, and yes I have driven them both, on the track too. Would I buy a GTR? No. Then again I wouldn't buy a Z06 either, but won't deny the bang-for-the-buck factor.

As to bashing the GTR, I'd like to think we Porsche owners are above that sort of thing.

Best to all,
