Official '11 Mustang GT vs 370z Thread

Whenever I think about Mustangs on track this is what I envision.

Like I have indicated on flat surfaces they do OK but put some elevation changes in play and they become down right nasty with wicked weight transfer to the front which pretty much makes rears weightless. Put an unskilled driver in that combo with 400 plus HP and your looking for an accident to happen.

You can find as many Mustang HPDE crashes as you'd like, but all they are ever going to prove is that the driver made a mistake. Plain and simple. You act as if a Z or Porsche or any car other than a Mustang can't crash on track.

Yeah I remember someone one here had a video of them crashing at an HPDE at VIR I believe. Didn't flip over, but still spun out and hit the tire wall.

MightyBobo bit it at VIR, though not too badly.

Judging by this forum, they can't even be on the street without crashing.
