    The problem is too many low skilled drivers buy them as their 1st or 2nd car. I've seen many different models of Mustang stomping ass on road corse tracks. I'm not a Mustang guy, but I can tell you the cars are great, it's the drivers.

      Yep, cheap and powerful are synonymous with Mustangs and attracts a lot of lesser skilled and often slightly egotistical drivers who then get into accidents because of their inability to control the car properly when trying to show off. That's basically how the Mustang got its reputation as the "crowd killer".

    As an engineer, drag racer and "Mustang" owner since the 1980s I can tell you exactly what the problem is....Fords Trac-Lok rear differential. The Trac-Lok does not lock up solid and allows an exceptionally high speed differential between the rear wheels, this causes the vehicle to dart left or right into an unrecoverable skid. The other issue is as the clutches in the Trac-Lok wear out the speed differential increases.

      @videogazer801 If you're on a budget and have an open diff, you can buy a Sparton Locker from Rock Auto for $250 and it's probably 2 or 3 hours labor. If you have a Trac-Lok or clutches in your 8.8 it's going to take 4-6 hours minimum. I'd go with a Detroit Locker $600 and expect 4-6 hours labor to replace the Trac-Lok.

    finally a video thats not just a meme, the reason why so many people crash them is because one they are garbage drivers but also the transmission gearing to the diff gearing, it gets you alot of wheel speed and then it hooks and sends them into stuff, its even worse of a problem if it a automatic b/c it will shit and just send it sideways. BUT Mustangs are the best bang for your buck, you can do sooo much for a reasonable price in any motorsport with it. Good vid👍

      The main reason besides anything else is just the shear amount of mustangs there are out there. They are easily the highest selling sports car year to year and ever and it’s not very close. Between 05-07 ford sold 500k mustangs. Those are numbers other sports cars would be lucky to get in 10 years. So of course with so many of them out there and lots being sold second hand to young buyers who are inexperienced for cheap (I was one of them) of course there is gonna be significantly more videos of mustangs crashing.

    @Burnzhurt Před měsícem +12

    I've owned both a 14 (same as silver) and a 18 model (facelift version of red one). It's not the differential. It's the amount of stock steering angle mustangs have especially with how long the chassis is. My buddy threw a angle kit on his 2018, stock everything else. Drifts like butter after.
    That's why the other 2 drivers tried throwing too much angle and the car just over rotates which you on the other hand didn't throw as much angle since you have the experience but the car would easily snap back straight due to the insufficient amount of angle making it feel like a "open diff"
    Ford 8.8 diff is actually a very popular diff in the use of motorsports.
    So yeah big issue is stock steering angle in mustangs.

    • @Still_awake19

      Had a 13 GT manual. Never lost control but could see how so many people wreck them with the way they’re setup, relatively light for the power, especially on the backend. I think a lot of people tend to wreck them simply due to inexperience in the car. They get on the power and don’t realize what the car is doing and then try to hit the breaks or oversteer to correct and spin out and slam into whatever’s around them. Too many driving them like it’s going to go straight everytime.

    • @Burnzhurt
      @Burnzhurt Před 26 dny

      @@Still_awake19 Yeah experience for sure plays a part, especially in a mustang since your mindset off of video games or watching videos is flicking the thing in and that just wont work with a stock angle Mustang. Throw anybody into an e36 and they'll be able to drift it no problem. I've put my E82 1 series next to a 18 mustang and checked stock max steering lock on both and my BMW has wayyyy more stock angle.
      But then hop in a angle kit mustang and it drifts amazing. Mustangs are great cars, but that stock steering angle is not sufficient for that long of a chassis so it tends to over rotate way too easy.
      Also to note, I almost always had to 3 point turn my mustang for u turns. With my BMW it's a breeze.
      Big reason why you see so many guys drift BMW's, just come out of the box with plenty of angle :)
      In any car, the more angle you have the harder it really is to over rotate.

    Mustangs are by far the easiest cars to drive. I've been driving them my entire life. Never had any of those crowd smashing issues that are glorified online. I've driven the late 60s mustang all the way up. Never had any issues with handling or loss of control. So it boils down to those crash videos are of drivers that went from a torquless fwd civic to a torquey v8 rwd mustang... the drivers that never experienced torque before cant handle mustang power.

    It’s the driver, I use to rip my stock mustang around corners. You have to know what your doing driving any high hp rwd without traction control. Mustangs traction control has came along way in the new 2024s. That’s the first thing I take off is advanced traction control. You can’t mash the gas pedal when your slipping or most people over steer when they are loosing control. It’s all about maintaining speed and control. Tires our a huge factor too. I love just about all rwds. Camaros to me handle like a boat compared to the mustang

    It is the automatic transmissions in the sn95, new edge, and newer mustangs , combined with the limited slip rear that make them so squirrely . Especially the shift from 2nd to third. If you do not let off the throttle at the shift point, the limited slip locks up, wheelspin makes the car go sideways at speed . Mine does.

    Erst dachte ich so "biete ich ihn an mein Challenger mal zu testen" und am ende sah ich den Silbernen Mustang und hab mir gedacht "nein man" haha :D
    Warum nicht mal eine oder zwei Runden kaltfahren und danach wieder Gas? 🤔😅

    as a '13 mustang GT 6-speed daily driver, its always fun to see peoples reactions to driving the last live rear axel mustang.

    Even though the traction control is turned off, the advance track system is still on then causes the driver to fight the advance track system when it gets out of shape.

    I have the Roush version of the S197 (the older silver one), and the Roush suspension really tightens things up. No floating boat here! But that stiffer suspension also means that solid rear just lets go a lot sooner. In a straight line, if I hit a bump or something while accelerating hard, the back end wants to step out. And mid corner bumps also make the rear want to come around.

    That 2013 has been lowered, which actually makes it less dangerous. Get one at stock ride height, do a 1 to 2 shift while the tires are spinning and you will do a 180 so fast, you cannot catch it. And I hope you defeated the traction control completely. There are 2 settings many people don’t know. Fun video!

    In part it’s the Advance Track system, gets out of shape the AT tries to correct at the same time the driver is doing the same.

    Had an ‘87 5.0 gt, should have never gotten rid of it.😢 spent 10k on the suspension alone and could pull over a g in the turns. Slammed, fat tires, coil overs, the works. Nitrous took care of the vets and Porsche. Never had a single problem with it, and I beat the hell out of her.

    If you really want to feel the dart from solid axle rear you need more power. I drove one with a supercharger putting out well over 700 whp. As long as you’re comfortable with a powerful car it’s not bad. The car darts left. Put right steering input in and just hold the drift.

    They actually are pretty safe as far as how they are built and can take a hit and all. And the problem was most ppl can’t handle a live rear axle. But that problem was solved with the 03-04 Mach 1s and cobras and the 2015+ models have the independent rear axle

    I've owned two Mustang GTs (V8). Reasons why people wreck Mustangs: (1) Power to weight ratio + rear wheel drive + 70/30 weight distribution; (2) old ones having solid rear axle (bad suspension); and (3) old ones having meh brakes. New Mustangs have VERY good brakes and better rear suspension. The 2025 Mustang GT has 486 HP and starts at $45,460, which I don't consider cheap. But I guess if you compare just the power to a European car, where you have to buy BMW, Porsche, or Audi, I see why you may think $45,460 is cheap. But also, you were looking at old/used Mustangs.

  • @chrismathes3647

    Mustang is an entry level car, according to my German father from Goslar. They're made for teenagers to buy cheap and modify, learn to drive, etc. My Fox body wasnt amazing until we added springs from H&R, koni shocks and better bushings. A great comparison...my Mustangs was 5,000 built completely. Dad wanted me to find a project 911. Cheapest we could find was about 12,000 no motor. Theres a reason the Mustang is popular, cheap fun but it cant bite you lol

  • @JosephBailey-hm9yh
    @JosephBailey-hm9yh Před 22 dny

    My suspension is called Magnum 4 link rear suspension system , factory rear geometry lifts the rear axle off the ground at the exact moment the power is applied to the rear wheels , my suspension system does the opposite and keeps the rear wheels locked to the pavement and also will not let the front of the vehicle nose dive upon hard braking ...

  • @initiald975

    Mustang is like a go kart on a smooth floor. Press the pedal down out of a corner and you slide. I wonder what a awd mustang would be like. I always used to tease my friend who had a mustang about driving in rain and snow. That’s because I drive the economy impreza with some fun awd that allows me to throw the cars into corners at higher speeds, it doesn’t slide or skid unlike the fwd Camry I once drove and doing that turned the tire light on.

  • @sprice659ify
    @sprice659ify Před 22 dny

    In addition to how the rear end and clutch is set up on this car, the other factor that makes it challenging to control is the horsepower to weight ratio. Also, torque and weight distribution over the drive tires factors into how this car handles.
    Mustangs have a lot horsepower to weight ratios and the engine is in the front. Front engine rear wheel drive cars all have challenges with handling unless they are equipped with traction control.
    As an example. I have a 2005 Mercedes E55 with engine modifications pushing 550 hp and well over 600 ft pounds of torque with a curb weight of 4200 pounds.
    Even as heavy as it is, the car is difficult to control with the traction control off.

  • @StevenSVT
    @StevenSVT Před měsícem +1

    It does not sound like they turned off ESP in the red Mustang. When going around corners you would hear traction control engaging. Because once off, the Mustang REALLY gets loose!

    Great video! Glad you pushed that 2013 Mustang GT 5.0 (I've owned a modified and upgraded 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 manual transmission since 2022) a bit so you could experience what these cars feel when you push them on asphalt. The Ford Mustang GT and above (V8 powered) has always been a driver's car (at a good price) that is massive fun, if you have the driver's skill and experience to successfully drive them in their performance zone without wrecking it, killing yourself or someone else. If you are a driver with little to no skills, stay away from them. I've always owned muscle cars and sports cars since I was a young adult. Four cars I've always had in my garages (and I will always have; no matter what the wife says, lol) are Ford Mustangs, Pontiac Trans Ams, Chevrolet Corvettes and Porsche 911 Turbos. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel's videos.

  • @phoenixsui
    @phoenixsui Před 19 dny

    You dont need to weld the diff. You just need more Angle. If you only turn the wheel for 90°. And stay on throttle so it doesnt grip up. Had some nice once when you were committed.

  • @rotaxtwin
    @rotaxtwin Před 23 dny

    What a hoot. You were truly flogging those Mustangs. You are obviously a very skilled driver 'cause they would have been upside down & on fire very quickly in an unskilled driver's hands almost immediately. Great to ride along with you.

  • @MrTL3wis
    @MrTL3wis Před 22 dny

    The Euro Mustangs all come with the Traction Lok plate-style rear differential instead of the Torsen, which is quite a bit better in terms of stability and turning the car on-throttle.

    I had a 2015 ecoboost mustang and a non attention paid driver driving a dodge caravan at 45mph slammed into my drivers door and moved the car over 100 feet, and all i suffered was a bruised collar bone. Def a safe car from the drivers perspective.

  • @phoenixsui
    @phoenixsui Před 19 dny

    22:03 for example stay on throttle for transition then brake. It makes transitions smooth. Or brake abit before Transition by gettin in more angle or brake. 22:43 ah yes almost perfect ;D.

  • @jeffarcher400
    @jeffarcher400 Před 26 dny

    If you pendulum before you turn in you put the weight to use and can get angle early well before the apex and at slower speed.
    Then you can enjoy increased time in drift greater wheelspin and more white smoke.
    So they say.

    My first car was actually a 93 Mustang GT 5 speed. I wrecked it due to being an irresponsible and reckless teenager. That seems to be the biggest issues with Mustangs and Cameros, as they're pretty affordable for the power they give you.

    Actually an engineer buddy of mine tells me that the geometry of the rear end creates contrasting forces under power. Ford has know of this for years, but is unable to re engineer due to cost. Financially and reputationally. Also our friend works at Ford dealership in service dept. Get a F -150 but leave the cars alone. Funny but that’s been the story for decades at Ford.

  • @stephenbacks3100
    @stephenbacks3100 Před 23 dny

    Comparing the Mustang to the BMW is interesting. In America, they serve very different audiences. Mustang is affordable power, though with a lot of cheap plastic bits. It’s raw and less sophisticated. Still, it’s a blast to drive. It’s also relatively dependable, and the aftermarket support is second to none.
    BMW, in America at least, is a car that you tend to lease, replacing it every three years. Cost and dependability are real issues as they get older. BMW also uses cheap plastic, but most of it is under the hood, where it can cause catastrophic damage if it breaks (timing chain guides notoriously lunch the engines).
    If I were in the market to lease, I’d get the BMW (my brother-in-law has leased over a dozen over the years). If I were to purchase, I’d go with the Mustang. Cheaper to own, a blast to drive, and easy and inexpensive to modify.

    I was looking at the 2024 Ford Mustang GT and the 2024 Mazda Miata ND3 Club and you’ll never guess which one I got…well it wasn’t the Mustang!!! The new Miata is such a great car and so much better than the Mustang! I realize they are very different cars, but for more that $10,000 less than the Mustang, the MX-5 Miata is so much more fun to drive , even though it has much less horsepower and torque!
