haha nice nick!

[CobraSnake]

wow you were the one that took the photo's huh??? Thats pretty funny. I remember my buddies that went that day were talking about them.

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Seems like more of a "Sighting" than a bust.
Also doubt the value is affected. Plenty of $$$ after those cars.

[SmokinRAM114]

thats funny OWND! LOL

[Fast SVT]

How fast did they run?

[Crawlin]

Gotta wonder if they are from WI or IL dealers. Didnt see the tags in the photo at all. Wouldn't doubt that it's Rosen, haha

[HRSEPLA]

I saw the one run 13.2 and the other 12.50 both at 108, racing eachother

[HAMRHEAD]

12.5 isn't to bad on stock tires. Still don't think I would be too happy knowing my brand new car has already seen the strip though!

[SmokinRAM114]

"Brand new GTR sticker priced to sell $800,000 buyer recieves 12.5 times slip!"

[Cryptic]

so much for breaking in your engine nicely...

[CobraSnake]

so much for breaking in your engine nicely...

see thats the only thing I would be pissed about. If I buy a brand new car I ususally just drive it normal till about 1k miles then I slowly push it a little harder to 1.5k miles then from 1.5k to 2k miles I really let it rip. I was told this is a good break in method.

Mark

[LIZMO]

isn't the 2 at the Nissan dealership on Hwy 100 by IA have 2 of the gray ones? I thought someone made a thread about that.

[pOrk]

Break in smake in. Drive them the way they are meant to be driven, nuff said.

[Firefighter Z]

Holy shit are you serious? I saw the same exact 2 cars with no plates screwing around on College Ave. and then hopping on the freeway going I-94 South.

[70challenger452]

there are a couple articles I've read, that talk about how hard break-ins are better for the rings and stuff, but you have to get em warm before you go beat on em.

On the other hand, every top engine builder ive talked to says thats wayyy overkill.

[SLOWC5]

built my motor in the vette, got it running, no MIL lights and took it around the block like it had 30K on it, beat the snot out of it. If its going to break, its going to break now!

[07ROUSHSTG3]

very nice!

[Sprayaway Fox]

Its got a warranty right!:rolf:thumbsup:fire

[Waver]

another great rosen ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Goat Roper]

I agree they should be driven like they were meant to be driven but that is a decision for the actual OWNERS of the car to decide, not the sales manager who happened to decide to drive it for the weekend.

[jon_we4]

Its got a warranty right!:rolf:thumbsup:fire

[70 cutlass 442]

who cares, a couple 1/4 mile passes wont hurt anything, whats the difference if the car was on several test drives where the driver passed a guy at full throttle or was at full throttle to merge onto a freeway.

[twicks69]

Depending on the buttons that are pushed, this could easily make these vehicles "unsellable" as a new vehicle. Nissan would require a used sticker on them, or they would be pulled alltogether.

As for the douches racing them, well...they really need to learn to drive. :rolf I hope that they enjoy looking for new jobs as they will be losing theirs very quickly when the dealer finds out this information.

My friend ****'s skyline GTR did 11.7's @ 118 a week after purchase at WIR with the launch control on, and everything else was completely stock. Pulled low 1.7's in the 60-foot no problem. Really nice car, I was fortunate to drive it around the block last night when I stopped up in Green Bay at Beyond Redline. I didn't get on it at all -- it is not my car, nor can I afford to pay for it or repairs if I did anything to it.

As for the launch control voiding the warranty, we will find out quickly about that with ****'s car -- it needs to stop by the dealership this week for service. I am thinking that there are other things though (with ****'s car), that will be voiding his warranty. Cough..Cough...Tires installed by 3rd party tire dealer were wrong size, and overheating the transmission's differentials....Cough..Cough....

Personally, there is no way in hell I would purchase a NEW $75,000+ car with greater than 40 miles on it, especially with track time on it. It isn't like these things are Toyota Camry's or Pontiac Vibe's that are a dime-a-dozen.

I hope they had fun, as they are now in for a shitstorm.

if they were from rosen (and I am willing to bet they were) the managers who took them out still have their jobs and wont tell the new owners of their use

[Beagle]

Who cares. Whoever buys one of them is buying it to beat on it anyways. I would beat the hell out of it because it has a warranty.

Guys in cobalt SS's have the same philosophy, and some are having to take out loans to replace busted transaxles in their 4 month old cars.

You take you're warranty into your own hands with blantantly beating something above and beyond the occasional WOT run.

[pOrk]

That first guy looks like the guy from the Rosen Commercial

[HAMRHEAD]

whether they are meant to be beaten on or not the person who pays all the $$$ should make that decision. It is the principal of the situation. Plus if they sell them without telling the new owner and they find out later I see a lawsuit.

Yes if I owned it I would beat the piss out of it!

[BigSnailBuick]

I was just thinkin the same thing ..if they pushed that launch button someone is in deep shit lol:rolf

actualy most engines you buy in cars are pre broke in at least thats what i was told.

that made ma laugh my ass off considering its true..

axles are the weakest point on these cars

No break in required is what I read, its either good or junk.

" hey idiots...these cars are the same color rosen
had two different colors, and yes one of these
is one of the cars rosen had, the other is from
a chicago dealer. both are bought and paid for
all you posers that can't afford a gt-r get your
story straight or stop by rosen to see the one
that they still have there. both cars were pur-
chased by one person and they drove them at the
raceway with a friend. plastic still on the seats
for transport....your story is over sorry!!!

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

The before and after pictures sure did make the latter look like bought and paid for cars.
If I paid that much for a car I would leave the plastic on for awhile too, try to preserve that new car feeling.
Oh well my house cost less. :loser

no no no i respect all the gt-r blogers, it's the ones who try to slander the rosen name with false info and say that those cars in the pics are from rosen if everyone who looks at the pics of the gt-rs in our service drive can see that they are 2 different colors. i hope everyone who owns a gt-r the best of luck with your new ride and for those of you looking for a 2009 give us a call we are now starting to gather leads for jan. if anyone needs more info about the photos feel free to give me a call thanks

Good job Mr. Foote. I will be sure to never ever recommend that anybody go to your dealership.
I especially like this quote from your statement:
"all you posers that can't afford a gt-r get your
story straight"

Wow. Harsh, huh? All you posers who, according to you, can't afford a GTR. So you think it's about being able to afford a GTR, huh. Interesting.

I wonder what the folks at Nissan North America will think of it. I'll send it over right now, with a screen shot of these comments.

I find it funny how fast he had to stick his foot in his mouth. :loser

If Scott Foote is his real name hes a huge dumb ass.

[lordairgtar]

Who is this Foote guy? Is he trying to cover his arse? Was he one of the drivers? Inquiring minds want to know.

[DirtyMax]

Despite the angle and flash, they look the same color to me, no? One has light rims and the other, dark... just like the ones at GLD...

P.S. Nick -- Your camera takes nice pictures.. :D

[Nick]

Dealers let customers pick up their cars on Sundays? And the customer invites them to go to the drag strip?

I smell something...

[lordairgtar]

First off, no dealer would let people pick up their cars on Sunday in Wisconsin. Second, in this state, nothing leaves the lot without tags of some kind. Either your trade in's tag or one of those temp paper ones. If those had dealer tags, someone was joy riding.

[HRSEPLA]

VIN numbers would have been good right Nick :-)

[Sprayaway Fox]

Too bad that someone bought them:confused The only thing there good for is power parking at the local golf club, and listening to techno music with the windows down.:goof

nramlow2006 who is this guy anyways? posers hugh? get a life!!!!! second off

state law dealerships are closed on sundays

thirdly if those cars were "customer owned" they would either have real liscence plates on them or temp plates. also i would imagine all the plastic would be off the seats.

[brewcity_mach1]

and by the looks of the pics 4eyed posted.... they look the same as these.

I would like to know how not being able to afford something makes you a poser? I thought faking it, like putting GT-R badges on a car qualifies you as a poser? By making that comment Scott Foote is a poser for FAKING he has any intelligence!

I guess since I don't have 80K to use on a car I'm a poser :( Even though mine is faster :)

[Sprayaway Fox]

If someone wanted it, you could take those pics in and find the guy that did it and use that for negotiation:devil:devil:devil:devil

[2SLOW]

i'm sorry but, 80K for a 12.5 time slip..... anyone else think that it's a little unsatisfactory.

[brotherbenn83]

I got an 06 Z06 I can sell you for $50k that should get you high 11's or faster...it hasn't been on a track before. If it was me, I don't see a point on going to a dragstrip...I woulda just hammered on them on a country road somewhere. Who gives a sh** about the #'s.

[Waver]

Scott Foote is the general managar of the nissan dealership....yeah he is the guy that is by jeff rosen in the commercials. The answers/responses that he left on the site is typical of a response that I would expect from him.........If anyone wants to know my true feelings on him or rosen nissan in general just pm me

Yea just post it in a public forum, he had no qualms.
What is the latest news on these automobiles ? Has Nissan Corporate issued a statement ?

[lordairgtar]

Is that the commercial with the guy that looks like he has no neck because his shirt's too big? Goateed?

[mynameismike65]

Haha....just watching those commercials makes Rosen look fvcking stupid. This takes it to a new level! "I love Rosen but I hate spinich!" TOTAL FAGS

The GT-R easily does 11.7's all day...these idiots didint know what they were doing. Besides the REAL timeslip you would want from this car is that of a race course (what its made for) instead of a straight line.

I would think this is serious business here. Has any resolve come out of this yet? He still employed there? Anybody notify Nissan North America that this stuff is going on within their dealer network? Somebody notify:

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Does anyone even know if the cars were unsold dealer owned automobiles or is all that just wild speculation ?
Are the cars not for sale yet ? I mean sure they cost a bunch but people buy and race $100k cars everyday.

well if they were bought and sold, state law states that they have to have at least a temp tag on it to be run on state roads and highways. if they are demos (and they can say that they were) then they need dealer license plates on them. if all of the plastic is on the vehicle and plates are of, one can safely say that the dealer was trying to cover their ass in this

[shoooo32]

I soooo sick of bench racing the GTR. When does the new Camaro come out?

[Goat Roper]

I am going to guess this got pulled, 404. Someone said this though about it before hand "they updated it and said one of the cars, the owner was at the strip as well and the other car was from another dealership "
