I bet he launched it from a stop light or something and then couldn't handle the raw power it delivers.

Sadly, most high performance sports car drivers cannot drive(or not nearly as good as they think), you see that all the time ...

No different from any moron in a Ferrai 430, Carrera GT, or even a Koenegsegg CCX. If anything the GTR has more computer aids to help keep it on the road
