2009 Nissan GT-R Road Trip: Making Time in the GT-R

By Ed Hellwig | March 27, 2008

Bonneville isnât very close to Sacramento, a little over 500 miles according to our navigation system. We figured leaving at 8:00 would give us plenty of time to get there before the sun went down. Then we got behind our friend in the Expedition and Oldham had to stop and admire the scenery while sucking down a few Marlboros. Oh, and then we forgot that whole Mountain Time Zone thing and lost another hour...

Needless to say, we were a little behind schedule, so we spooled up the twin turbos and stretched the GT-Râs legs a little. Bonneville is closer now, much closer.

I think we could use more GT-R blog entries. I was actually able to find some non-GT-R related posts on the first page. :)

So that's what the GT-R sounds like from the inside. I think I'll set this as my new ringtone.

I registered just to post on this one.

I hope this wasn’t the GTR performing with the pedal to the medal!

I was looking forward to destroying some Z06s on the way to Vegas.

But this video just showed me that the Z06 will eat me and spit me out for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Tell me this thing picks up faster, TELL ME!

=(
