Clarifications. "Optional" means only available in Japan as part of a $25,000 Nismo Clubsport package. Tires can NOT be ordered directly from Bridgestone as they were developed specifically for Nissan's VSpec GT-R.

Does your local Nissan dealer have the same knowhow Nissan's team of ring technicians have? Or do they just adjust to a standard "track" preset? Also, will they happily honor your warranty if something should break and they find out you've had your car on a track, dyno, or airstrip?
