Do you not recall the very first Titan? A near exact replica of the Ram platform? That truck sucked.

Oh and as to the small fuel efficient cars....where? Wasn't aware Dodge had any.

I'm of 2 opinions on this issue.

1. It plainly states in the manual what is and isn't covered by the warranty. Than included with the fact that dealers HAVE to tell you about the VDM and make you sign off that you where told when you purchase the car. DUE to these items you as a consumer should stop and think... is this really right BEFORE THE PURCHASE. Its like building in Louisiana at less than sea level in hurricane alley... you have to understand that there is a RISK, its just common sense. BAD ON CONSUMER

2. Advertisizing plainly states what the car can do, yet the warranty expects that you never will. IMO that puts this in the category of false advertising. BAD ON NISSAN

PS - FYI the GTR does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with the launch control (VDM off).. without launch control it does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Our Camaro SS will match that... for well under half the price.

SO if your up against a GTR, he will have to void his warranty to beat you!

Seems a bit slow for a 500+ (ignore Nissans claims) hp awd car that weighs about the same as the Camaro. I would have imagined it should do 3.8-4.3.

Oh well:

The Mustang GT driver got it right. How did Nissan not understand this? It's a fundamental fact of the Z06.

btw epic fail for the gtr.

try again nissan.
I believe they are using more then the hemi, they plan on having a selection of motors for the titan now instead of just the 5.6, im guessing the V6 and a small V8, don't think they would share the hemi though
