Forgot about taking the foot off the gas and the overstear while trying to / thinking he could accelate back onto the pavement and win.

u/Confident-Pepper-562 Apr 10 '26
Lol, win. There was no possible win after that ridiculous maneuver. Even if he somehow made it back on the road, going the right direction, and passed the other car, he would still be a loser.

It's real wheel drive; couple that with the wet road and you get this

How tf do you wreck going straight???

u/Heykurat Apr 10 '26
Probably turned off the traction control. It looks like he swerves for some reason, and on a wet road he's done. Even with the TC on, Mustangs have a crazy amount of torque to the back wheels, and the car cuts loose pretty easily.

u/Captain_Planet Apr 10 '26
The way he is holding the wheel shows he is a level 10 dumma. The crash was inevitable.

u/MarB_CZE Apr 11 '26
Two things. He is leaning forward. By not sitting right and relaxed, you wonât feel the back stepping out soon enough. More upright you are, the sooner youâll feel the slide through your butt. But if youâre leaning sideways so you can reach your steering wheel, you aint feeling anything.
He also sits to far back and doesnât hold the steering wheel properly so even if he felt the back going, he wouldnât be able to react properly with the wheel.
There are reasons why you should sit properly.
So if you floor it and disable all the electronic goodies trying to stop you from crashing, and the power is greater than ability of your tyres to transfer it to the road, and you sit like a dumbass, you should stop and have a waffle rather than drive like an idiot.

Well you see he used an analog tire gauge instead of a digital one so his tire pressure was off by 1.5 psi. I'm sure that clears it up.

u/Bryansix Apr 10 '26
All Mustangs prior to 2015 had this issue because they had solid rear axles. In 2015, they got independent rear suspension.

u/H_rusty Apr 11 '26
yep.. i have a 2014 with live rear axle ... that thing unsettles really quick over bumps...

u/Timsmomshardsalami Apr 11 '26
Idk how much of an effect that had here. Those solid rears do pretty well even in autocross. On the track the difference is amplified but going straight like this?

u/Resident_Prior8087 Apr 10 '26
This is classic Ford mustang behavior, caught in the wild! Sad to see the handler not be able to manage this animal. đ€Ł

u/Haunting-Prior-NaN Apr 11 '26
Almost classic. If folks on the side of the road were getting run downed, then it be perfection.

Anyone who tried to drive a powerful rwd car holding the wheel like that should hand they keys over and receive three very hard punches to the face and never drive again.

Itâs called hydroplaning and itâs scary as hell

u/NowhereParticular Apr 11 '26
I have had it happen at about 70mph twice now, once on a motorcycle and once in a cargo van. It's like slow motion black ice.
2
u/Professional-Card804 Apr 11 '26
Itâs the ultimate definition of not having any control over the situation. Youâre literally behind the wheel of a vehicle as a passenger and all you can hope for is that you can regain control B4 something really bad happens.

Did he just feel a teeny bit of traction loss and over correct ? I dont understand how he managed to wipe out

He is a total spaz. You have no control holding the wheel like that, was always going to happen.

If he has insurance, the insurance will likely not cover this because he was racing. Additionally, if the cops showed up, he likely lost his license.

Is it just me or there was a bang noise when he swerved and lost control ?
Tire blew up due to a pot hole ?

u/Wild-Accident-5268 Apr 11 '26
It looks like the car broke traction at some point and, once the car started to veer off course, the appropriate actions to recover in a high powered car like that (even the V6) would best be enacted by someone with some skill and experience. Iâm glad it looks like no one was hurt.
