I continue to be amazed by theses videos where drivers can't control themselves and induce a massive snap over-steer they can't recover from. Let alone to be stupid enough to do it around hundreds of people lining the curbs. Just unbelievable!

Mustang poor handling characteristics.

shouldnt have done it in the first place....but....why TF would anyone go full-off on the stability systems there.


if you dont know how to turn off traction control+reduced stability control and just go full-off instead, you likely don't have enough seat-time to pull a stunt like that putting ppl in danger.

Actually, he should have punched himself in the mouth for allowing his child to be so close to a potential crush zone.

That's the common thread in almost all the crashes you see. Driver fails to remove foot from the gas.

Absolutely zero driving instincts. I would hate to see them in snow.

They could solve this BS very easily if they wanted to. It's the fault of the event coordinators that this stuff happens. It doesn't happen at our local shows here. For one it's put directly to people involved that it's not allowed, we always have the local blues and fire department to direct traffic out of the event and third, we end every show with a very controlled slow moving parade out of the venue for the cars in the show. Cars end to end like a real parade with no room to play. We never had one issue among three evens in 25 years. Why it seems to happen with Mustangs all the time is beyond me. They must attract more lousy drivers with even less common sense than driving ability.

I don't know. Here's his quote from the Mustang6G forum thread on this subject:

Still, what are the mathematical odds of a user with the handle "Voodoo" on that site who also drives a Mustang GT 350? Pretty astronomically high. Except his car is black and he doesn't live in Texas.

I wonder if he's just going to skirt by this without filing a claim. The police were there and probably got some witness statements and obviously have access to these videos, so I'm assuming he's going to get charged with something like reckless driving.

What a moron. Complete douchebag. He didn't even give a damn that he nearly ran over a crowd of people. I pray his claims adjuster gets a copy of this video.
