Spy photos: 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R caught lapping at Sears Point raceway
Our spy shooters scored again after following the 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R from L.A. to Northern California. Turns out, Nissan was headed to Sears Point raceway for some hot laps giving our guys another opportunity to snag some exclusive spy photos and video. Nissan's engineers were making lots of tire and wheel changes so we expect this excursion to California was a bit of fine tuning before the final specs are locked down for production. And one more thing: According to some hand timed laps taken by our photographers, the GT-R was lapping the 2.5-mile road course within tenths of the Porsche 911 Turbo brought along for comparison. Not bad for a Nissan. -- Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor
Does the steering wheel being on the opposite side matter, or is the release date far enough out? Has this been discussed somewhere else with all the new spyshot posts?
Wow. OK I think that's enough staged "spy photography" on this car for one week. Sure it's a cool car, but you're going off the deep end on coverage now. If you show it to us again, there better be less camouflage or something new.
Very well know for speed and high performance of parts like Nissan Turn Signal
that is being easy to handle and carry an awesome design where everybody turns head for incredibly sophisticated style.
Where are the spy videos? :(

Sweet. Sounds like Nissan wanted to be caught.
911 Turbo performance for less than the price of a regular 911 (non-turbo) sounds good to me.
"Sweet. Sounds like Nissan wanted to be caught."
There's been so many "leaks" this does smell an awful like like a marketing campaign.
Seems to be working too.
