The former two can be quelled very easily, but the third is shame on Porsche.

Over dinner with some of the BMW instructors at the Advanced M School, one of the instructors who had some good seat time in the GTR noted 2 things....
  • Launch capability of the GT-R
  • Traction on apex out
He also noted that the car felt "slow" and without drama.
