Up until this latest gen, mustangs had basically an I-beam for a rear axle, so that didn't help matters much, but what you see is snap oversteer. All these dudes just smash the gas on the way out, get a bit too sideways and just let off, transferring weight to the front of the car, losing hecka grip, killing pedestrians

50 more horsepowers from the factory is all we ask for the mustang.
