Can this be true...
I can assure you that it will not have as many miles on it as you think it will. Even though the car is tested on a track they do not run 20 laps on it to make sure it is up to standards. It is a new car. I dont consider a car with 20-40 miles on it a new car. I think they might run a lap or two with an experienced driver who knows how the car should react and in between he or she will test the brakes and all other functions required
yeah sure.. 9 laps.. but laps could be 1/2 a mile each or 1 mile each. they dont have to be 2 or 4 miles each.
1 mile each lap is 9 miles.
Two guys with new ones posted here (POST # 17):

The both had ~ 40-45 Km on the odometer
That is 24.8 - 27.9 Miles.
BTW: I cannot remember where I recall this from; however, I seem to think that there was 27Km of break-in laps (3Km/lap).
Yes I verified that on the Nissan GT-R website. Here is the quote:
" . . . undergoes an extensive track test to verify performance, setup the chassis, and in a mere 27 kilometers, fully break-in the engine . . ."
So that would mean that transport/prep only added 13 - 18 Km (8 - 11 miles) to the track miles.
Cheers.
