Nissan GT-R @ El Mirage: 2009 Nissan GT-R Road Trip - Part 2

http://blogs.edmunds.com/Strai... one in their right mind would take their brand new, $70,000 sports car onto a silt-covered dry lake just to do donuts in the dirt. So, of course, that's the first place we headed. There was plenty of room on El Mirage dry lake to stretch the GT-R's legs a little. We got it up to 130 mph before deciding that the limited visibility and random mounds of dirt made anything faster a potentially life -- and GT-R -- threatening exercise. Then we turned off the traction control and got it sideways to see what the GT-R is like when it's not stuck to the pavement. Shocker of the day -- it's fun. Click through to see the videos.

this cars a piece of shit, Incase you didn't know. If your a real gear head and truly love R34's you would know that this cars tranny is a piece, Nissan released a statement saying that this car's tranny can only be launched an average of 15 times before it seizes and goes into limp mode. The cars fast sure, but what's the point of owning it if you cant even launch it to achieve those speeds? And there's a black box on board so if you drive it like it was meant to be..bye bye warranty. GTR=JOKE.

its rwd most of the time, is that enough? lolif its anything like the last one (most likely) then the drive distribution will be adjustable by aftermarket kit.
