TESTING THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS CAR - WHY ARE MUSTANGS THAT HARD TO DRIVE?

[@LordHolley]

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.

[@X_irtz]

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".

[@chrisgarcia5462]

Affordable and plentiful. Law of averages. They aren't worse than other cars, only the sheer numbers available make it seem worse.

People who aren't used to having rear drive, or that type of HP get them. That combo can be an problem. It doesn't have anything to do with whether or not they are male or female. When we had 80's to late nineties change from the popular small eco cruiser to sport utility, there was another problem.

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👍

[@ruturaj47]

I think being best bang for buck (power wise) is an issue that causes idiots with no driving education get one.

[@calebemerson9317]

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.

[@E1320_]

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]

So, then, what do you have e to do to correct this?

[@bobadingo]

That does not explain the lousy handling of the millions of Mustangs with open diffs!!

[@E1320_]

@videogazer801 A solid locking rear differential like a Detroit Locker, G80, Eaton Locker or even an Aussie Locker etc. While noisy in tight turns or parking lots, it's worth the added confidence you gain by having both wheels spinning at the same speed.

[@E1320_]

@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.

[@TheEsquirePodcast]

its the way you drive it, but the stock set up is way smoother and track ready compared to the s197

[@stavencapp]

yeah thats because the issue ONLY affected pre 2015 models that didnt have IRS.

[@techforge-Nate]

The main issue for Mustang drivers with crashes is they are almost always coming out of a car meet driveway, with opposite lock on, cold tires and the blood rush of showing off. Add in the factor that a lot of the ones who crash all have one thing in common, they lift off the throttle in the middle of a slide and turn it into a tank slapper. The live axles are worse at it too!

[@plektosgaming]

Lift off oversteer is also a problem as well. People think it's a a car. Nope - it's a RWD solid axle muscle car. Same as the 1960s and 1970s. Only the safety systems keep it on the road and in control most days. Turn those off and it'll swing its rear end around almost as quickly as an old 911. If you don't know HOW to deal with old RWD cars like that, it'll 100% catch you by surprise and spin on you. Spinning the car a little isn't a problem - all RWD cars want to do that. It's the follow-up overcorrection and panic that is the final nail in the coffin.

[@UberStrikerful]

@@plektosgaming One little thing though - the S550 is no longer solid axle, it's got an IRS with a limited slip differential. Still easy to screw up and as Schaefen mentioned, the LSD isn't the best

[@plektosgaming]

@@UberStrikerful True, but Ford originally built these cars as platforms with modification in mind. Cheap and functional OEM parts built on a budget. If you do race, you simply toss the OEM stuff. The issue is when you race and don't do any mods at all. Then end up sideways.

A few years ago I got to try a 2013 mustang gt (solid axle). Previous owner put drag tires on it. When I dumped the clutch those tires just grabbed, front end lifted up and the whole car twisted and launched. It was incredible and terrifying at the same time.

[@Timrsnakess]

Ayyy nice comparison with the straight axle vs independent, I own 5 Mustangs and though they’re not really the best at anything can’t beat the V8 sound and feeling especially a vintage one, the 2015+ you can throw around ok with some mods

As someone who has 5 of these Mustangs (and over 500k miles combined), you pretty much nailed it.

[@Burnzhurt]

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]

@@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.

[@NoStringsAttached777]

What do you mean with "stock steering angle"? Thanks

[@Burnzhurt]

@@NoStringsAttached777 just how much angle the wheels have when you fully turn the steering wheel. Obviously more info goes into this like ackerman / camber etc, but to simplfy it when you fully lock your steering wheel your wheels only turn so much. Some cars have more “max steering angle” from factory. Idk stock steering angle number of mustang but just based off visually comparing side by side with my own cars, BMW’s have way more angle from factory So what most people do in the drift community is add angle kits to reach double the angle the stock suspension components allow which is usually 60+ degrees after angle kits The problem with s197’s (not sure about s550’s) is that they have a steering stop in the rack which limits the angle immensly.

[@Burnzhurt]

One of the big reasons I enjoy Otto’s videos. Other then him being a fellow Austrian😂 the skill he has drifting these cars with no angle kits is super impressive compared to him hoping in a s chassis with an angle kit. Although I can’t wait for the day that he has a car with an angle kit. Going to pull off some absolutely insane drifts when he already drifts better then most guys who run angle kits

[@markdellacqua1038]

The problem is three fold: there are numerous amounts of Mustangs on the streets of America. They are making plenty of power[ 5.0 ]. Many are bought by kids who modify the car and unfortunately can't handle the power. In the end it's the driver who is to blame.

[@bbb462cid]

The size of the engine does not dictate "power" and advertised peak hp numbers are not what's available at all times. Furthermore, you're ignoring torque and torque management by the mechanical and electronic systems. Add to that the fact that 21st century cars allow you to do lots of things before they give you a good scare, and so many drivers _never experience the signs of a problem until there's a problem_ and you might be closer to the mark.

I'm a 67 yrs old woman and grew up with real American Muscle cars. I've had a lot of really fast street cars, all with posi-track rear ends. The most "dangerous" car I owned was a 1969 American Motors AMX. It was a 2 seater, with 390 cubic in, 373 rear end posi- track, 4 speed car. It was a car that could easily put you in a ditch from a dead stop if you didn't know what you were doing. I owned this car in the early 80's when street racing from red light to red light was a nightly event in the small town I grew up in. I lived in East Tennessee where modified fast cars were born during prohibition in order to outrun the police when hauling moonshine/ liquor. Matter of fact that's how NASCAR was invented. I love street racing, but unfortunately you can't do that without going to jail these days. My hobby turn to drag racing at the track, with my husband, who I met street racing in the little town we grew up in. We still own the 68 Camaro he had in the '80s to this day.

I have a 2015 GT PP1 and one thing I can agree with you on is the LSD, which does cause some issues. Another problem with the S197 and S550 is the rear bushings, which will also cause that snap oversteer that you feel. I have done the Steeda rear subframe braces and Steeda front K-Brace and those makes a big difference in keeping everything straight, but you really need to do poly bushings all in the back from the differential to the subframe and that will help get rid of some of that snap oversteer that you sometimes just aren't ready for.

i always thought the problem in "those" videos was people drifting in automatic... so, not sure this test is the answer 😂

[@foggmedia7437]

Mine’s a boosted auto and i drift it all the time. Newer ones like the silver and red ones also have advanced trac which is known to cut power even when you have it turned all the way off with the button. Gotta undo the fuse for abs

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Most errors are made with letting off the gas abruptly and over correcting with the steering !

[@mnemonicabyss]

More automatic factors definitely add more room for error. Auto 2017 here, I always drive in 'manual' paddle shift because factory ECU is not designed to do what you want to do. default tune is for average city drivers, intended for regular road use. Once somebody overdoes it on factory tune, the nannies kick in. You want to control the drift, computer wants to cut power to end drift. Power cuts down until wheels gain traction, faster than you can lift your foot. Suddenly you gain traction in the wrong direction with foot stomped, then begins the d3ath correction battle of ECU vs human. until the overcorrection of the computer spins the car out in an unavoidable yet predictable direction. I honestly believe there would be less accidents if they started going backwards in "fun" cars and reverted some of the advancetrac/stability/traction to more lenient in certain environments or settings. 90% of Mustang drivers are not abiding by typical driving rules/intentions. At the very least, disable advancetrac before horsing around..

It's just a car that is at the price and entries level for alot of inexperienced people who try just floor it without a straight steering wheel and yeh just low experience for rwd and yeh the mustang is known to be tricky but yeh only for those type people

[@handy1arnwald947]

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.

[@plektosgaming]

The solution in my case was to get a kit that mounted the transmission to the shifter. Solid mount - zero spacers or rubber. Slightly more vibration and noise inside, but rifle bolt clean shifts and no issues with shifting.

[@H1GHD3FF]

Live axles rear end are great for stay line racing

[@schaefchen]

Correct

[@ramblerdave1339]

If properly suspended, and tuned, they are fine on smooth pavement. That means triangulated 4 link or parallel bar four link with panhard bar or watts link, and good damping. The Mustang 3 link is a reasonable, and cheaper to produce, substitute, also less space consuming. My friend has an E55AMG, that I have driven, and it is also a car that you don't want to open the throttle too much, mid corner. I am currently building a four link suspension for the live axle in my '68 AMC Javelin, to replace the parallel leaf springs, with coilovers.

[@H1GHD3FF]

One of the most popular cars for beginner amateur drifting are v6 mustangs from the early 2000. The v6 isn't popular for enthusiast but it's powerful enough for drifting. Just weld the diff. And you can pick them up for $2k. A lot of people will buy an angle kit(there are a bunch of pre-fabbed options) for $1k. It's obviously nothing like RTR Mustangs that win in Formula Drift, but it's super fun and cheap

[@disruptapps]

Mustangs aren't hard to drive - it's the lack of skilled, disciplined drivers who have their egos in check.

[@DrGibs347]

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. No hate just speaking facts.

[@Drako_93550]

I own a 2013 GT premium with the 6r80 transmission. But once I modified my suspension and installed better brakes, wider tires it handles very well!

I had a 2014 Mustang, one of many rear wheel drive cars that I have had. I think the issue is with the suspension. It is dialed in for that drag race squat which is great for that launch but can get quite upset with quick movements or bumps. Suspension is a bit too loose. Coils overs with adjustable damping would go a long way in making the car handle like a champ. But I would say drivers lacking experience are primary cause. Also automatic rear wheel drives are another issue as when the driver panics and lets off the gas the wheels will bind up causing a spin, with a manual you push the clutch in and free up the wheels and car will straighten right out.

[@maxskullic9879]

So how many pain pills did you take before doing this? (I understand, driving American cars, you need a little something)

[@danielbartek9194]

[@charlesrichard4648]

I suspect that the independent suspension on the 2016 makes it ride better, stick better, & more controllable.

[@G.Orwell1984-q8i]

I have a 2013 GT, with an Aluminator crate engine and Roush Supercharger, limited to 530hp at the wheels because I kept the stock intake to hide the Supercharger whine. For that, you give up 80 hp at the crank, but 630 hp at the crank is already lots. The issue is always more about getting that power to the ground. No one but me knows there is a Supercharger, making it a sort of sleeper. What the old ones need the most is better shocks/struts or coil overs to control the body and a Watts Linkage to keep the solid axle under the body. The stock shocks/struts are way too soft, allowing way too much body movement. The shocks I have are Bilstein HD, but there are lots of other options. The Watts Linkage I have is by White Line. The stock Panhard bar pushes the axle from one side to the other as the axle goes up and down. I also have Caster/Camber plates, upgraded, adjustable anti-sway bars, lowering springs and a short throw shifter kit. The car rides and drives nothing like stock, which is a good thing.

[@pit_IX]

Daily non seasonal Mustang driver from Germany here 👋, loved the video as always 👌

[@dallasstang2818]

The problem with the S197 are with the brakes and the non-track pack open differential. And the soft suspension. The steering isn’t all that bad when set at sport. It’s nicely weighted and not entirely bereft of feeling and feedback. Put a watts link at the back and change out the dampers and springs, the mustang will run like a champ.

[@stephen3164]

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.

[@ramblerdave1339]

When I passed my driving test in 1992 (N Ireland) my dad insured me on his '87 pre face lift ford sierra 1.8L hatchback. The car was already aging badly, but the handling or lack of was the main issue. The car didn' t have much power but the suspension was wallowy, small brakes, rear drums, skinny tyres and rear wheel drive, the experience was comical at low speed and alarming at higher speeds. Even a damp road surface it behaved like it was driving on black ice 🤣. I was so glad when he got rid of it but not after two years, but I suppose it made me a better driver in general with all those issues being the norm for me right at the beginning. 🤣

[@Loiyaboy]

I've driven nothing but manual 5.0 or Cobra (x3) Mustangs since 1992 and they can be a handful if you don't know what your are doing, especially the solid axle versions, but if you know what to expect they haul ass and are a ton of fun!

[@slcpunk204]

[@quentinfreeman7516]

The red Mustang could benefit from the Torsen T-2R LSD which came in the performance pack Mustangs. It's s gear based LSD with more responsiveness. The Trac-Lok LSD in the non performance pack car is a clutch based LSD and it's pretty good, but not as good as the Torsen.
