Is there some reason why Mustangs like to try and kill everyone around them?

I mean there aren't nearly the same amount of videos of Camaro's trying to kill crowds or the owner. Is it a rear end geometry? When I rip on my SS it stays straight as an arrow, otherwise I feel like the rear end sticks and goes

Can't even merge on the highway without trying to find a target to hit.

This is what happens when you give high performance cars to low performance drivers.

^^^This

Also the entry point for a V8 mustang is getting a lot more novice performance car drivers than Chevy.

Weird coincidence. Got stuck in hours long traffic yesterday on the way home to find a mustang the culprit.

Either watching to much F&F Tokyo drift or playing too much need for speed games.

It's a Mustang, what do you guys expect.

I usually try to make it a point to try and strike at least 15 objects when I do drive my car. Luckily, it still looks brand new after all of those GTA style crashes and hits.

I see 2 possible explanations....

1) In light drizzle rain it gets really slippery.

2) He obviously took the North bound ramp when he really needed the South bound ramp
