<br>When we got our hands on a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/23/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-nissan-gt-r/">Nissan GT-R</a>, we can admit to laying waste to a little bit of rubber. With at least 480 horsepower at our command, it was hard <em>not</em> to.

He should be careful, because that kind of wear and tear on his GT-R is being captured on a black box recorder, and <span style="text-decoration:underline">we're just now learning</span> what happens to the warranty when one engages in tom-foolery using one of the world's fastest production cars.<br><br>[Source: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWXBai6QwA&eurl=http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-does-donuts-in-the-uae/">YouTube</a> via <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-does-donuts-in-the-uae/">egmCarTech</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-doing-donuts-with-no-regard-for-warranty/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VIDEO: Nissan GT-R doing donuts with no regard for warranty</em></a></p><h6 style="clear:both;padding:8px 0 0 0;height:2px;font-size:1px;border:0;margin:0;padding:0"></h6><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWXBai6QwA&eurl=http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-does-donuts-in-the-uae/">Read</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-doing-donuts-with-no-regard-for-warranty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1343078/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>Â*|Â*<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/15/video-nissan-gt-r-doing-donuts-with-no-regard-for-warranty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
