VIDEO: 2010 Nissan GT-R makes supercar friends
Supercar parade - Click above to watch the videos after the jump
It's Godzillapalooza time boys and girls! More precisely, the day before the 2010 Nissan GT-R had to go back, my buddy Steve asked if I could give him a ride in the Skyline. Well, he'd actually been calling since two weeks before the car showed up, but anyhow, Steve is a filmmaker and he showed up camera in hand. Our plan, quite honestly, was just a quick blast across some empty freeways and nothing more. But then we saw the exit for Angeles Crest Highway and even though it was amateur day (Sundays = dozens of motorcycles riding off sheer cliffs in front of cops) we figured Steve should see Godzilla eat a canyon. Plus, after you get a few miles up you can turn left off Angeles Crest onto Angeles Highway, a much less congested (and some would argue better) road.
What happened next is one of the many reasons I'm never leaving Southern California. Stuck behind a pickup truck is a veritable supercar parade. From front to back: Ferrari F355 Spyder, Ferrari F430 Spyder,
We all stopped for lunch where we asked the drivers if the matching Ferrari shirts add 5 horsepower. Then we hopped back in the cars, but not before I announced that the Nissan would be running mid-pack. The Viper driver yelled, "Try to keep up!" Little did he know I was wearing my high performance flip-flops. Thanks to Steve for filming and cutting the video: follow the jump to watch it.

Agreed. Especially on a road where bicycles are using the shoulders - unless nobody in the chain was ever over the line on a blind (but very fun) curve...

I hate it when people on car websites say this crap. You're going to sit there and lie and say you a car guy has never floored it or raced on the street before? Right, tell that to someone who isn't stupid.

Oh god, another asshole, 'Don't drive like that, it makes me cry.' They weren't even racing, and let's see what you would do given a GTR and canyon roads in Cali.

gah'd i miss GMR, one of the sweetest and most technical roads in so cal.
why not the LS2LS7? 2:42PM (7/29/2009)
There are no supercars in that photo. Ferrari's supercar is the Enzo/FXX.

I believe that cars like the Enzo and the FXX are considered hypercars, not supercars.

Over the weekend my friend and I were on the highway in her old beat up 76 Vette and a GTR pulled up next to us. The driver and passanger of the GTR both made eye contact with my friend and I. In that moment of tension we just started pointing and obnoxiously laughing at them. The pair of douches pulled away in an equally douchy fashion. It was hilarious.

I hate you Jonny Lieberman and all your super lucky co-workers that get to drive these amazing cars. Sure you put in all the hard work to get where you are, but that does not make me hate you any less.
So jealous... sigh...

After basicallyevery single one of your readers complains about people adding cheesy/crappy music to car videos and drowning out the sounds of the engine, Autoblog goes and does the exact same damn thing.
What the hell is that music and WHY the hell did you put it in this video? Shame on you.
