"Dealers drag racing new GT-R's @ Great Lakes Dragaway Took these photos at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI on Sunday. Some guys rolled in with these GT-R's with Dealer plates and decided to drag them over and over and over. Interested differences in trap speeds and 1/4 mile times though. Definately not pro's as they had to be reminded over and over to wear a helmet.



If I were you, I would not buy these. Wish I was able to get VIN #'s.

I haven't seen that happen with the GTR, insofar as I've seen dealership owners have had to buy their personal cars too.

One thing is for sure, if you are in the market for a GTR, or any sports car for that matter, and are buying with any miles on it be sure to at least get an ECU printout of peak revs and speeds for your own protection. With this car you should be able to get even more detailed info then just the revs, so you'll hopefully be able to see how flogged it was.

Sorry, but I dont think the cars were given as a thankyou gesture..... once again I think that is absolute bull **** and those guys should have their faces plastered over every hot car mag and forum so no one gets burned.
