Customer gave me a very quick ride up to 100 mph today

YouTube - Nissan GTR launch to around 100 mph

Wow. It launches like it is on slicks.

--I am jealous!
Someone gave me a quick "blast" to 50 yesterday in their new Camaro SS and I thought that felt like warp drive (seeing as I've never been in a fast car in my life). I can only dream of how you felt in that GT-R!

160? That's nothing...pause it at around 8-9 seconds as we went past 160!

YouTube - Nissan GTR high speed run

Concrete roads a little bouncy, made it hard to hold the camera still. Ended up hitting about 175.

Supposedly, this is the first GTR that was sold in Dallas. It has an April '08 build date.

I detailed his Supra turbo yesterday along with the interior of the GTR. I go back next week to take care of the exterior. He figured it was better to give me a ride before it was all polished up. He also owns that red '72 911 and Skyline I've posted recently. Oddly enough, his owns a car crushing business-putting he and I on opposite sides!
