VIDEO: Nissan GT-R doing donuts with no regard for warranty
Click above to watch video after the jump
When we got our hands on a Nissan GT-R, we can admit to laying waste to a little bit of rubber. With at least 480 horsepower at our command, it was hard not to. At no point, though, did we feel obligated to grind through 20 seconds of squealing, smokey donuts, but we can now be sure that at least one GT-R owner has. After the jump is one man's attempt at YouTube fame behind the wheel of a Silver GT-R. He effortlessly (because the GT-R is badass) dives into a dizzying volley of tight spins that we like to call a donut, and when finishes appears to be awfully proud of his accomplishment. We're not sure why, though, because all he did was get closer to a visit to his Dunkin Dunlop retailer for a new set of expensive rubber. He should be careful, because that kind of wear and tear on his GT-R is being captured on a black box recorder, and we're just now learning what happens to the warranty when one engages in tom-foolery using one of the world's fastest production cars.

you must have never heard a Carrera GT then...

GTR Is an ugly heavy unreliable and I don't care what anyone else says slow POS. I'm glad it's braking down and Nissan wouldn't fix it. If you were stupid enough to buy SHTR then you deserve this treatment.

amazing sound ever? RRR no.
Carrera GT, yes.
LP640, yes.
Hell an R32 sounds better from naught to 5,000 RPM than this car.
Give me a break.

You're glad it's "braking" down? LOL!

To tell you the truth, a GT-R sounds like a Maxima....
Don't get me wrong. It's an amazing car, but it doesn't sound as amazing as a Carrera GT or F430......

Akula- Way to drive home your extremely valid point by using grammar on par with a 2nd grader's. I wouldn't believe you if you told me the sky was blue much less humor your opinion on a car you likely never have driven, or will ever drive for that matter. But thanks for your input!
RAMONTEZ 7:08PM (10/15/2008)
Yeah, the Carrera GT has about the sexiest exhaust note I have ever heard. I recall a video recently that had a string of GT's going on a cruise, there was one with an a/m exhaust that sounded almost like an F1 car... Instant eargasm.

Hey thanks everyone. I'm glad you all liked my post. I'm glad that you find a need to force your opinions on me and make me think the way you do otherwise its unacceptable that I have my own opinion about this car. Oh and I'm also glad that one noob is taking note of my spelling abilities because when making the point it is the number one most important thing that ever makes sense. Not what you say but how grammatically correct you say it. Aighttttttt.
RAMONTEZ 9:30PM (10/15/2008)
Noob! Hahahaha, good defense... As far as your grammar, it's all about credibility. If you want your opinions to fall on other than deaf ears, you must maintain a semblence of credibility. Otherwise you come off as just an attention whore looking to stir the pot a little. Your argument is the the GTR is; ugly, heavy, unreliable and a "slow POS". One claim is purely subjective (your take on the looks) while the weight related issue could be the one bright spot on your otherwise dull and cloudy comment. As far as reliability and quickness go, you come off pretty ignorant and abrasive, once again lowering your credibility. But that's just me, no need to get all bent out of shape. After all, who am I? Just a noob...

I saw it twice at the shopping center next to where I live. Twice, I drove passed it and at first thought it was suped up Chevy Cobalt SS. So that doesn't say much for design.
Sorry, it's still a Jap, it's still a Nissan.
Porsche would be silly to give a damn about this car.

He could have the Bridgestone Potenza RE070R tires on his car.

I'd like to say that the reason that the 911T is a better car is that you don't get dick weeds like this driving them, but I'm not sure that that is true.
I'm sure he is proud that he can do wheel spins in a 500Hp car, I'm sure his ring time would be in the 15's if he could make it all the way round.

You're right, every Porsche owner i have ever met was courteous, and made sure to leave plenty of space between them and the car in front of them. They never speed and are always certain to obey every rule of the road. I wish all drivers would be able to buy such amazing cars so that they could all better appreciate what a privilege driving truly is... riiight... BMW drivers too...

Except in the UAE, where a fool has more money than he knows what to do with, and so can never spend all his money.

As we've seen in multiple videos from the UAE, a fool and his money are soon departed.

Isn't if funny how some things never change? Stupidity never goes out of style.

He doesn't deserve that car. I dunno why- maybe I'm just a hater, but he still doesn't deserve to even touch the steering wheel....
