Edmunds got their hands on the new Nissan 2009 GT-R in full production US trim for a full test and test it they did. Worth a full read but here are the basic stats they extracted from their test car:

3.5 seconds 0-60mph (0.1 seconds faster than their JDM test)
11.7 seconds @ 116.8 mph 1/4 mile
60-0mph in 98 feet (the shortest they’ve ever tested)
The GT-R goes on to get great marks in nearly all areas except maybe the ride comfort. Even in Comf mode “comf never comes…” Can’t please everyone but I think as far as US and Australian journalism goes a lot of guys are going to say this coming from softer sprung cars so it is no suprise. Personally I definitely did detect a night vs. day difference in the JDM GT-R on comf mode.

" Only on the skid pad do the 2009 Nissan GT-R's considerable mass and slight stubbornness become liabilities — and only if the goal is 1.0g. The GT-R pulls 0.96g, just the same as the 2,000-pound Lotus Exige S. "
