To make matters more humiliating, this GT-R had a Mustang show him up with a competent exit moments before.
It’s over four years since the great string Ford Mustang crashes of 2016 that had the car community reeling with how bad it was, yet people still haven’t learned through those ‘Stang owners pain because it’s happened again. According to Florida Cars and Coffee attendee Carlos Javier Castro, this new-ish Nissan GT-R did its best lawn mower impression by jumping a curb and giving the front sidewalk of this Chilis a nice trim.
Check out the video and some photos of the damage below.

This monthly meet is courtesy of Cars and Coffee Central Florida. Held at the Lake Nona Landing shopping center, complete with dozens of big box retailers, there’s plenty of parking.
If you look on Google Maps, there’s also a big, long entrance and exit towards the parking areas, enough driving time for car meet attendees to plan out how best to exit.
Should I just go politely on my way to be nice or should I give it the beans and really show these Floridans what a proper exit looks like?
That’s what I think happened here. You’ve got a GT-R brimming with over 500 WHP, you’ve parked and talked for over two hours, so yah, I think you’d be itching to let off some steam in the form of a big boot full of WOT.
After all, you’ve got Nissan’s legendary AWD system to keep you in check. Whatever could go wrong?
Like 90 percent of these car meet exit crashes go, car owners give it full throttle on cold tires, a surefire recipe for disaster for any RWD car. But…but…the mighty Godzilla? Surely, this JDM supercar’s AWD ATTESA E-TS system with Nissan Vehicle Dynamics Control can keep even the poorest car meet exit in check? Wrong! Proof, the above video.
Who knows why exactly this GT-R couldn’t even handle a straight line. Perhaps this owner has some Tier 4 China tires in the rear and, when his GT-R sent power rearward to correct, there was no traction there.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and the only injury was the driver’s bruised ego.
The hilarious thing is weather’s getting nice for the rest of the United States, which marks the return of car meets everywhere.
We’re only going to see more of these kinds of crashes.
