BorgWarner, the designers of the VW/Audi DSG that was introduced back in 2003, is the supplier for the GT-R transmission.

I guess Honda relies on the after market crowd to make a vehicle that matches the performance of a GT-R.

On a side note, making an unreliable car will hurt a manufacture's reputation, thus sales.

THe S2000 is very nice and interesting, its also a I-4 only. THey have nothing with any serious power. Hell the IS 350 has more HP than anything Honda/Acura makes. Honda just said today the NSX is canned.

Problems and all, kudos to NIssan for making the GT-R.

What else is new? A person who owns neither a GT-R or IS-F commenting off topic and offering nothing to this thread

no wait.......on second thought, that isn't new either!
