Skyline GT-R Heaven: 2009 Nissan GT-R Ultimate Road Trip
www.edmunds.com It’s been a long time coming, but there’s a white 2009 Nissan GT-R in the Inside Line Garage (we photographed it with our Ferrari to prove it). In fact, the keys are in my pocket as I type this. Forgive me if this is a short blog post, I’m itching to get on the road. Here’s the deal. The car is a PT2 unit, as in pre-production. And it’s right off of Nissan’s Arizona proving grounds. Nissan engineer Bruce Robinson drove it west from that facility yesterday. According to him the car runs great but has a tendency to drool a little fuel down the side of the car when you fill it up. He also said we should invest in a case of octane booster. “We recommend 93, but it’ll run on 91,” he said. “I’d stop and get a few bottles.” And we will. We officially leave Los Angeles for the Inside Line Ultimate GT-R Road Trip early tomorrow morning, so check back and follow along as we drive this all-wheel drive supercar 3000 miles in three days. First day’s destination? Well, we plan on hitting the El Mirage drylake for some top end runs. Then we’ll turn north and find our way to Sacramento Dragway for a Wednesday night of grudge match drag racing. We hope to get there about 5 pm. If you live in the area of the California capital city come on out. We’ll even let you sit in the car while you tell us how much you love Inside Line. If you can’t make it, keep checking this page for blogs, photos and video of our adventure. Scott Oldham, Inside Line Editor in Chief
