I proposed a long time ago people should have to take a mandatory "super" license or something to drive these cars. Its clear people suck at driving. We all know it. SOme of you can't drive

As carmakers are making these high performance cars EASIER to drive for the sake of sales, it means someone who thinks driving is a chore but has the cash will buy it and wreck it.

Very sad to see another GT-R go.

actaully there arent many on the roads relative to most sport cars. Godzilla is still a rare beast. Its a shame to see it. I can imagine the insurance on the cars is insane because of its potential

I hope the driver came out of that mess alive.

I think most of you know how I feel about that overhyped, overpriced piece of crap....I couldn't be happier to see an "anything but supercar" performing anything but! People drive these machines like it's an Enzo...nothing could be further from the truth. Papier-mache tranny plus wanabe supercar peformance and handling equals trash compactor! One of my esteemed colleagues said it best in here a few weeks back...New Nissan GTR rockets 0 to 60....Once!

This would be a bigger deal if they weren't making this car anymore, but since they still are, this is not that big a deal.
