Miller (Motorsports) Time: Nissan GT-R Road Trip - Part 5

http://blogs.edmunds.com/.eea5b29

Got up early this morning to head over to Miller Motorsports Park in the city of Tooele (that's Two-ella) just east of Salt Lake City. We've seen this relatively new track on TV a few times before, but not even a good HD telecast could do justice to the almost surreal facility in the Utah desert. It's easily the most modern, well thought out race track we've ever seen.

John Gardner, Media Manager for Miller Motorsports Park, invited us over to stretch the legs of the GT-R around the West Loop. It's just over two miles long and features 10 turns. John then introduced us to Mitch Wright, Director of Racing, who gave us a few tips on the correct lines before letting us loose at full speed.

this car is already spanking the Z06 and 911 turbo.

Porsche is pumping out the new GT2 to take down the GTR.

Chevrolet is building the ZR1 to dominate the GTR.

i got news for both of them. say hello to GTR Spec V.

your absolutely correct. the gt-R is in fact very tunable even though the cpu was designed to make that harder. a team has alreadty bumped up a gt-R's hp passed 600 by just a few alterations to the cpu. the gt-R is the best supercar in the world for the price.

the technology this car has, the american's will have it in another 10 years

@greyfox61987 I agree, but I would make a small change or at least an optional feature. I would like it more with a manual twin clutch transmission. I think that way it would appeal more in some ways for more hardcore drivers. Just like the R-34, although I understand you can't compare the two on many levels.

GT-R loves cold weather.

You know what? If this car is that good why they keep promoting it all the time. They don't do that with BMW or Ferrari or Lambo, what is it with this car that they trying to sell it as fastest as posible.And in Europe GTR has been not succesful as they said last week.

Wait... Tooele is not East of Salt Lake. It's WEST of Salt Lake!

And it is pronounced more like Too-ill-uh, or if you are a Utahn, it's tah-will-uh.

Funny when people from out of town visit, they call it "too-lee". I heard a pilot one day on the air traffic control for SLC International call it that.

they (porsche) can pump however much into new cars...GTR is still gona do well because it ticks a lot of boxes. If i had the money id preorder one straight away..appeals more to me than a porsche...also have a feeling a lot of people are not going to have in in England which is even better...stick to your porsches...

Like today i saw a Ford Mustang in London...its better to have something rare like that than a porsche which everyone in london has

Actually the GTR is alot older than most people thing. It actually dates back to the 70s and i even think the 60s. just wasn't popular like now.

[shechshire]

the gtr isn't new, it's popular because it's japan's top track car since at least 6 years back
