Normally when I get something weird like this it is from a dealer trying to trick you into trading your car in.
This doesn't look like that type of situation, I would just give them a call and get additional info. $300 is a nice payoff for little effort on your part.

GTR loaner perhaps? One could wish. And wish. And then wish some more. 370Z roadster would be cool too. I'll give them a call and let you all know what I find out.

You're going to rent them your car for two weeks for $300, a loaner, a tank of gas, and a wash job.
The least they could do is throw in a KY lube job, too. I suspect you'll need it.

Surely the above would be more of a pain, besides being more costly than doing what the letter says...

Is there a reason why you're not allowed to be there for the dyno testing of your own car? Personally, that would be the deal breaker for me. No one touches my car unless I'm there. Period.

The letter looks pretty legit but, it would not be hard at all to forge this letter. The Nissan logo and Roush information you could get off Google and any Kinkos could create those envelopes.
Think about how easy this scam would be. A couple of guys rent some vehicles, forge a letter, and send it out to a bunch of people to see if anyone bites.
Next thing you know someone is handing you the keys to a rental car that is about to be reported stolen and they just hauled off a $20,000 car. Their letter says it will take “about 1 to 2 weeks. However, occasionally it may extend longer”. So, by the time you realize something is wrong your car is already parted out and the guys long gone. Seems like the perfect plan to me!
Like the person said below, could be legit, but not likely.

Well, I called Nissan consumer affairs and was not surprised that they knew nothing about this. 
I then called Roush (the number on their web site) and after a few words the nice lady knew exactly what I was calling about. She explained that they do this testing for many manufacturers. She also explained that they are required to test vehicles that are actually in normal service. I left a message for Dan (from the letter) for more info.

When everyone started talking scam I grew a bit concerned because if it is a scam, someone knows my name, address, vin#. OTOH I suspect these things might be easily obtained these days.
I decided to get to the bottom of it if I could. Maybe it will help someone else here in the future.
