Click above for high-res gallery of the 2009 Nissan GT-RNissan recently allowed Autoblog four fleeting days with a red 2009 Nissan GT-R. While it seems every major automotive outlet has tested “Godzilla” on the track (including our First Drive), we chose instead to keep it on the streets to see if one of the world’s most powerful and fastest accelerating cars could be domesticated by stop-and-go traffic, family errands, and carpool duty. Of course, we only stuck to that routine for a day or two… the rest of the time was spent on the famed canyon roads of Southern California. Follow the jump to read about our 100-hour experience in the Nissan GT-R and don’t miss what very well may be the most beautiful gallery of high-res images we’ve ever published courtesy of our own Drew Phillips and all ready to become your next desktop wallpaper.
