Apparently, Jalopnik was rejected by Nissan when they asked for a test drive unit of the 2010 GTR, instead; Nissan chose to let Motor Trend had a hand on their new Godzilla. Of course being Jalopnik's boss, Ray Wert of course could somehow get his hands on one (who would reject Jalopnik?) with first impressions saying it's 0.5 seconds slower than the 2009 GTR
The LoL part is when Ray Wert calls MT (we're not implying here) 'handjob-friendly' media outlets, with a link to Angus Mackenzie's Twitter account (Road test editor for Motor Trend), where a quick visit there saw the latest updates saying:
"Wannabe websites make me laugh. Just read a guy who has trouble driving stick claim the 2010 GT-R feels half a sec slower to 60 than the 09."
We just love it when things go around this way. Either way, Nissan won, with three PR exposures instead of one.
