I wasn't talking about the break in period. Either policy is stupid. It's like building a turbo engine that has the potential for enormous gains above stock with simple mods and then voiding your warranty if you attempt to do so ... oh, wait... they did that also with the N54. What makes this launch control thing supremely stupid is it's like teaching you how to install a JB3 in the manual and then telling you can't use it or that you can use it only once a week. Think about it ... pretty silly, no? They shouldn't encourage you to do something in the manual that is potentially detrimental and could theoretically void your warranty.

No one knows what the required distance for reusing the launch control is yet. For all we know, it could be 1 mile, then you could reuse it over and over at the drag strip with no problems anyway.

If you're talking about the GTR, their policy is stupid.
