I guess this car doesn't handle as well as we thought.

All smashed up :-(

late teens to early twenties...i think it will be more late 20's to early 40's who will be owners of this vehicle.


and definitely insurance costs will be high, one you have a turbo model vehicle, your insurance cost goes up significatly.

Late teens?
More like late 30's - who in their teens could afford this car?

I would think that most owners of this car would be mid 20's to 40's males. Either way, insurance is still going to be insane for any age.

Just a classic example of a person who probably doesn't know how to handle so much power.

I bet we do a lot of these GT-R's crashed because so much horsepower and so little brains. As you know, money does not equal intelligence.

I'll reserve judgment on the driver since it was a head on collision. It most definitely might not have been his fault. I will say, that I have met a great many owners who thought they were better drivers than they actually were. When you are dealing with relatively light weight and well over 400 hp which seems to be the current high performance formula, you will quickly overpower the traction and aerodynamics of the car and then you are toast unless you really know what you are doing and all the electronic safety measures in the world aren't going to save you. I am in no way an expert on vehicle dynamics so if I am fortunate enough to own a supercar, I will spend a great deal of time learning how to properly handle the car, the best example has to be my friend's Z06 in a straight line, I could not stop grinning, but I came very close to loosing it on a pretty tight right hand turn and I knew then it was time to hand him back the keys..........

I rather crash a GT-R than a Ferrari or Lambo. I see high insurance rates for GT-Rs drivers...hehe...

Come on fan boys...majority of crashes are driver error. Most likely the case since people are going to play with their go fast cars.

It's all the drivers fault, he probably tried to pull a fast one and overtake and hit someone head on. I learned how to drive on the roads of Bangladesh easily one of the worlds most dangerous and unpredictable places to drive, but if u can drive there, u can drive anywhere.

Well that sucks. The sad thing is is the driver probably didn't give a tiny rats @$$ about what he just did.

Maybe the dealership should have told him that unlike grand tourismo, real life doesnt have a reset button.

Honestly, What a douche & What a waste. I think he should be sentenced to community service or driving a Chevy Aveo for a year.

Seems like they don't know AWD need to be 4 wheels off the ground when they towing it.
