Dealers drag racing new GT-R's @ Great Lakes Dragaway
 
Took these photos at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI on Sunday. Some guys rolled in with these GT-R's with Dealer plates and decided to drag them over and over and over. Interested differences in trap speeds and 1/4 mile times though. Definately not pro's as they had to be reminded over and over to wear a helmet.

:smilieth

If I were you, I would not buy these. Wish I was able to get VIN #'s.

I only hope these are not dealership cars that they are intending to sell to the general public. Aside from the ethnical considerations, these may not even been broken into yet.

RudeMood 09-22-2008 09:37 PM

I'm not doubting they are. Rolled in with dealer plates. Removed dealer plates to race (probably to avoid being in photos).

Plastic still on the seats is a bad sign. Any owner would have removed that.

Mike@AwdMotorsports 09-22-2008 10:48 PM

These Guys Ought to be FIRED!!

Hopefully Nissan would see this and getting rid of these people. They look like the managers.

ultima00 09-23-2008 07:04 PM

It doesn't make sense for them to do this, why put miles on a high demand car? They might end up having to sell it as a demo car at MSRP :p

Catapult5 09-23-2008 07:13 PM

That's a bit disappointing, I had 26 miles on mine when it was delivered. You need to get these faces out there and send the pictures to NNA.

RudeMood 09-23-2008 08:21 PM

Feel free to send the images to all the right people.:):smilie_th

Catapult5 09-23-2008 08:57 PM

If you can find a dealer lot in the area with two titanium GT-R you will have your men and I would defiantly report them to NNA.

At least send this to the guys at GTRblog.com.

celsius 09-24-2008 02:40 AM

Damm, I can't stand dealers like that! You should have called the BBB, maybe the would know if they broke some kind of law?

Just emailed them. Linked them to this thread and my photo directory. :smilie_th


I was told I should forward this information to you, On Sunday September, 21st 2008, three men in brand new GTR's pulled into Great Lakes Dragaway with dealer plates and plastic on the seats and began drag racing these new GTR's all day long. They removed the dealer plates beforehand though.
You can tell they were not owners since the plastic was still on the seats.
I had posted about it here: http://forums.gtrforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351
My images can be found here: http://www.bordumb.com/gtr/
All photos had been taken by me.
I had attempted to get VIN #'s but the cars were always in the staging lanes, never giving them a rest.
They either came from somewhere in Southeastern, WI or Northern Illinois / Chicago.
I feel terrible for anyone who buys these.

I hope you find these guys.

Ahhh very nice!

I hope they catch these guys and intercept these cars. Such a waste.

Rez90 09-24-2008 12:13 PM

thats unreal.

Catapult5 09-24-2008 04:34 PM

Nice job, this should really get this out there. I hope NNA takes action.

RB25Silvia 09-24-2008 05:18 PM

Well i just wanted to give you guys some news. I am a Tech at Zimbrick Nissan of madison. We got our first gtr about 2 weeks ago, they come delivered with about 23-30 miles (due to track break-in before delivery). Our general manager has been informed about this(by one of our customers who is waiting for his GTR) situation and it is being reported to NNA and i promise you that it will be investigated. Which ever dealership it is will loose its GTR Status no questions.

Catapult5 09-24-2008 05:43 PM

Good to hear, this is unacceptable for anyone to do. I'm glad these guys got caught. I wonder if they have any knowledge that they have been caught?

RB25Silvia 09-24-2008 05:45 PM

Im sure we will know the second they get busted and I WILL let every one on here know what happens.

invincible569 09-24-2008 05:47 PM

Good thing. One of the first thing I thought to myself after seeing this was that there is no way am I buying my GTR in Wisconsin.

RudeMood 09-25-2008 03:38 PM

The dealership is Rosen Nissan in Milwaukee. The man in the photos with the beard is General Manager Scott Foote.

BostonGTR 09-25-2008 05:21 PM
