Someone should copy the video and host it on their own youtube profile A.S.A.P. in case these d-bags take it down. I'd do it but I'm not a youtube/video production (or whatever) expert.

Disrespectful idiots like that don't deserve to drive a Z. I was getting really pissed off watching those idiots. If they do work for Nissan, I hope they are let go immediately.

License plate in the video-Tennessee 4240 DL. The current issue of Car and Driver page 47 of the Z tested the plate is Tennessee 4245 DL. This one was posted in site. What gives with the plate numbers?

Update on contact with Nissan
 

So, according to Darryll, the two folks in the video are not Nissan people - but it sounds like Nissan knows who they are.

oh ok you guys contacted Darryll? yeah he is a good guy also and works closely with us over on NAGTROC concerning GT-R PR

+1...

I tried to call Bling, but he hasn't returned my call yet. Still trying to find out how they got there hands on these.

LOL...
Imagine they like jacked it somehow or something?
These dudes are screwed!

Says video no longer available :(

Sounds like they've already seen it. BUSTED!

Good! [:

Dude,,, these guys will not get any hands on new Nissan cars.
they could have permission to push it to the limit like that, but making a bad professional impression, well....not that cool. chewing gum sound........... h o w a n n o y i n g

I felt the need to have to register and respond to this thread so I can clear up some things for you all.

Mike and Bling are not Nissan employees.
The car was a press car for Mike, not Bling.
Mike is an editorial writer for various media outlets.
Yes, they had bad judgment and got caught up in a ridiculous situation.

Mike is a well respected figure in the automotive community. You may recognize a LOT of his work in the tuner magazines that you see on stands today. He was the West Coast Editor for Modified Mag, and this can be verified in the last issue. He no longer works with Modified, but he has a number of freelance photography and editorial in other publications.

With that said, it was an idiotic thing to do- taking a press car for his own personal performance testing, and on top of it all, RECORDING and uploading the internet. But it's over. Whatever the fall out is, he will pay for his actions without a jury present.

People make mistakes, give him a break. Outside of this incident, he provides brilliant editorial and insight to our car world.

Thank you for making the situation more clear. I have not posted a word about this anywhere else, and I have not even mentioned it to anyone. My feeling is that this is a situation for Nissan and the two people in the video to resolve.

Damn and i couldnt even see the damn video, why does this smell like ******** ?
