If they cracked the "un-crackable" IPhone, they will crack this.

true story.

"Terry Daidone, the founder of Certicell contacted me this morning, and offered to make a trade for the iPhone. I traded it for a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones."

Damn that's crazy. He made a good 20-30k in that case. Some say he could have held out and made more, but it could have already been cracked by someone else by then. Besides, he's obviously a genious, and I'm sure that won't be his last fortune.

There have always been some manufacturers with more difficult ECUs. Toyotas, for example, have been known to be difficult, and too heavily coded to be worth cracking. If this turns out to be the case with the GT-R, there's usually a handful of piggyback options that can get you where you need to go before the aftermarket ECUs come into play.

On the "aftermarket" note, I'm curious to see what hands the GT-Rs fall into. It seems there aren't many people that are into imports and modding that have an 80K budget, whereas something like a Z06 or Viper is gonna get snatched up by midlife car guys who have been garage tuners and drag racers since before a lot of us were born.

Think of the Supra. That car had 1000HP potential in '93, but didn't get to seeing any kind of single turbo builds until the late '90s, and 4 digit HP didn't start coming out of that thing until 20001 or 2002, I believe, when they started getting snatched up by younger enthusiasts that gave the aftermarket manufacturers a market to tend to.
you forgot all the countless old japanese businessman that can afford it and grew up with skylines and shit.
