Some people have all of the luck, check out Sam Mitani the International Editor of Road and Track Magazine, he gets to drive the fantastic 2010 Nissan GT-R around the Nissan testing track at Tochigi.
I do not know what better the actual cars performance or its looks, both are just supreme and you really have to go for the looks of the car, because the Nissan GT-R has to be one of the most perfect cars around.
This is great opportunity to see what this car can do, because it is not available outside of Japan at the moment. However, we live in hope and then there is the price tag of $170K that is twice as much as the previous model, life is so unfair for most of us.
