I think I found a pretty good way of explaining why I got this car....

At 45 seconds is where you can see why I purchased this car instead of a mustang.


SIDEWAYS.

Enough said. Haha.

I love this video. Has anyone else seen it?

A BRZ pulls up to the local gas station. Next to a Mustang pumping gas. The Mustang driver said to the BRZ driver" only 200 horsepower, uh". The BRZ driver said" yes out of a 2 liter, so you have a 5.0. Why dont you have 500 horsepower?"

Haha. I was a stoplight next to a mustang and a homeless man was walking to cars asking for money, he said "nice car man" to me but didn't say anything to the mustang. It was a brand new GT in white

The Ford Mustang: Pretend Sports Cars for Trashy People

And folks, it's been this way for a long time. I was a teenager in the 80s. Every Friday and Saturday night an army of mullet-heads hit the strip in their shitty Mustangs trying to race anyone and everyone. When I was in teevee news in the 90s, a disproportionate share of the fatal accidents I covered involved Mustang drivers doing stupid shit. One guy back in Tallahassee actually ended up with his Mustang on its side, where he had rolled it onto his own head.

Braking hard while turning or at an angle causes you to be tail happy in a RWD car and potentially spin out from the back..Do mustang drivers not realize their car is RWD?

Mustangs will go sideways, for example:

Then the Mustang driver hangs his head in shame and said "cuz no 2 liter big turbo racecar".
