LA Times take to the Reno Fernley raceway in the new Nissan GT-R at the recent Nissan North America GT-R media event. Lots of positive feedback about how the car goes and handles but some criticism that it is too easy to drive and doesn’t evoke fear like it’s competitors.

Despite the GT-R’s official nickname, “Godzilla,” it’s more like 2 tons of fluffy kitten.

I understand his argument but would like to see someone, somewhere push it’s limits a little more. Are these journos holding back? I can’t help but feel there’s more to the GT-R than has been explored yet.
