Nissan is killing the competition. Love it.

the 991 Porsche Turbo will take it.... Just wait and see.

Sure the Porsche will cost a lot more, but for something that is lighter and more pleasant to drive, who cares. At the price point of Nissan, chances are you are in tax bracket that can afford the Porsche anyhow.

Seriously? The car goes into some sort of protection mode so you don't cook the motor & turbos when you run it hard in the heat?

The car is one giant heat sink. The one I drove, the trans gauge was in the red after lap two then it stuck in a high gear and had no power

It was my students, giant pos

Every and I mean every Nissan GTR I've been with at the track that is not driven in Green group over heats unless cooling mods have been done.

Same thing happens to my friends Nismo 370Z. I beat that thing with a base Cayman.

I don't see how it's any worse than the GT2s that go down big on power on track, in the heat. No car is perfect.

Competition is good. More choices for us. I don't subscribe to the line of reasoning where one must castigate X to aggrandize Y.

My C4S with PDK went into limp mode on a spirited drive...

Brake fluid cooked also during a track day and brake pedal went totally soft

PDK transmission was replaced after 6000 miles...

Porsche cars aren't flawless either

I can't speak for the tranny, but sounds like you were running ****ty brake fluid for being on the track. My student had a 500hp cayman turbo and although we had to be judicious with the the stock brakes and fluid, it never boiled.

And I don't see how it's even remotely possibly to the put the car into limp mode while on the street unless you blew a MAF or something. What did they do to get it to stop limping?
