Every jackass that pulls up next to me in a mustang (more so than any other car) always ends up scaring the crap out of me. It has gotten to the point where I make sure they take off a good ways first before I even take my foot off the brake.

Dont even get me started on the car shows...
 
Those new Coyote engines have the most obnoxious exhaust note & every friggin' new 5.0 I run across in traffic has a WFO exhaust & feels some need to make sure everyone knows they're there. FFS dude, we get it, yer car is loud, now GTFO & stop aggravatin' folks. I mean damn, my Harley can be loud if I wanna be an ass, but I ain't tryin' to run around & 'impress' everybody.
 
I never rolled mine...and there is plenty of Florida asphalt prematurely degraded and/or overloaded with rubber debris from my tires around my old stomping grounds.

Just saying.
 
Someone should just kinda explain and show them what the hell. Line lock is.............. LOCK EM UP AND BURN EM OFF.

I've never driven one but besides the obvious "moron" factor it seems to me there is a balance problem.

I've driven lots of long and short wheelbase cars at different power levels. Even with my brain turned off it seems hard to imagine any of them swapping ends so easily.

My two cents!
 
Too much power, positraction rearend, very little body roll and pedaling the throttle will get you in the ditch every time. Next time take the sway bars off before playing in the street, it might keep you out of the ditch.

Had a Lot of Mustangs. Only one I ever owned that even mildly concerned me was a new 2011 Shelby. I never was satisfied that I got all out of it that it was capable of. I replaced it with a new 2011 first year 5.0 mod. It was a hoot to drive. Then I got a new 2013 Boss 302 [number 621]. Without a doubt the best Mustang I ever owned.
 
I still have my '93 cobra and the wife has a '67 coupe. I just recently sold my '88 coupe. Never had any of those crowd plowing issues with any of ours, maybe just special issue mustangs? Well I did hit the wall at the drag strip a few years back but the steering shaft pulled apart...
 
I've seen this with Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers,,,,,,,, civics, miatas, etc...

Fact of matter is that some folks can't handle power and the mustang has the easiest ticket to punch to get power. And for a long time they were solid axle with rudimentary traction control that if you didn't shut off, would engage at the worst possible time.

I've owned a 2004 GTO and a 17 mustang GT performance pack. I got both of them sideways at will but only once on each did I do it unintentional. That's when I knew where to ease up. Gotta learn that before you show off. Then again, I never showed off because I didn't want to be an example on YouTube.

They are both gone and now I daily an old jeep. And my bank account is happy.
 
The chances of me eating crap increase exponentially with the number of spectators.

Learned that one early on, after my pride was mortally wounded lowsiding my KZ650 in front of a hot chick when I was 17.

You're right.

The Fox 5.0's (I had an 88) and the later bathtub 4.6's sounded darned good. Dunno why the Coyote engine sounds so bad.

It's not easy to make a V8 sound crappy, but.....

That's so subjective guys. Come on! I actually loved the sound of my coyote.

Maybe yall are hearing a straight piped V6?

Nah, they're 5.0s. They have a raspier, brappy exhaust note to begin with. Add a wide open exhaust n a douchenozzle who has to constantly gun it, while running 2 gears lower than they should n they get annoying quickly.
 
It's cheap horsepower that inexperienced kids can afford.

In the hands of a capable driver, probably a different story, like Ken Block, or this guy:

Its simple......people are stupid, and Mustang are relatively inexpensive performance cars so more of the stupid people can own them. Any high performance car that is driven by the stupid people who really don't know how to drive a performance car can and will get into trouble. Mustangs are very good performance cars for the money, I have owned two and never damaged one with a lot of spirited driving.

I sold this one to my brother last year and he is 69YO and loves it, and I don't think he has rolled it yet.

HaHaHa his power level just got above his skill level that's all.

I have a saying thats similar:
His ambition outweighed his talent, lol.

I've had 10 mustangs, from Turbo'd 4's, to 400+ cu.in. stroked windsor's on a lot of Nitrous. I've never hit anyone, lol, did brush the wall at Mooresville in my 5.0 shootout car back in the day grudge racing a tubbed big block Camaro for multiple thousands of dollars (had to repaint the rear fender on my car only), and just about flipped same car over backwards at Mooresville when grudge racing again. This particular car would cut the 60ft. beams with the back tires usually around the 1.34 mark. This run, I hit both stages right out of the hole, forgetting that I went up on the N2O from 300 total to 450, and damn near flipped it over. Clicked a 1.28 60 with the car dragging the bumper and one rear tire off the ground, lol. Damn I miss those days.
 
I've seen this with all types of cars. Mustangs, BMW's, Vipers, Corvettes. Trying to show off sometimes doesn't end so well.
 
I think it has more to do with the mufflers or lack there of on those cars. The cool thing to do these days is minimalist or no mufflers at all AND an off road midpipe... Volume > tone to a lot of folks.

Personally I'm more a fan of mufflers with packing in them...
 
I think the issue with Mustangs stems from them being more power than someone on that kind of budget can handle. Before anyone that owns a Mustang takes that the wrong way, let me explain:

Younger people are buying 'muscle cars' more and more, and in that field the Mustang is the most affordable for the power you get. So you end up with 16-25 year-old kids with 400+ horsepower and they have no idea how to behave.
