^ There is actually quite a bit of truth in that. Without the launch control, the GT-R took 4.0 seconds to get to zero. Quite a bit off form the herioc 3.2. Launch is one of those things where electronic aids can make a huge difference.

No, this isn't contradictory to my other "no, the GT-R is too heavy to do that with that much power" type posts. No amount of traction wizardry can explain how a 2 ton car (probably just under 4100 pounds with a driver and gas) can trap at 121 mph with just 480 hp.
