Insert your joke about 'Ring-ing in the new year here. Some German enthusiasts combined a Nissan GT-R, a set of Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires and the Nurburgring for some enjoyable winter antics. The GT-R appears to handle decently enough on the unplowed Nordschleife, thanks to all-wheel-drive and the performance-oriented snow tires. It's no record-breaking run, but the lurid four-wheel drifts are worth a watch.

and agreed, gullwing doors only work on cars that were designed from conception with them in mind - italian supercars, mclarens etc. they just don't work on aftermarket tuning jobs, and certainly not on japanese cars - nothing against japanese styling, but it just doesn't suit gullwings/scissors.
About the warrenty issue that everyone is displeased about. Warrenty is for people that use the car as a normal car. When you start testing out your car at every light and using your car to the limit every chance you get warrenty is not for you. In racing, anything can happen. Warrenty is suppose to cover normal driving conditions. When you start using your car to the limit all the time, you shouldnt look to the dealer to bail you out of your jam.
