The thing about those old 80's fox body Mustangs was the weight. They were really light, an LX 5.0 with the trunk option weighed about 3000lbs. New Mustangs weigh 3700lbs. So that 225hp in those old cars had a lot less car to push around, which is what made them fast. IMO if you're building a drag car, the old fox body is a much better place to start than a newer, heavier Mustang. Lots of aftermarket support, easy to work on,, came stock with beefy Ford 9" rear axle, and the big thing is they are light.

Add to the list is the guy in Under Armor shirt flashing a badge? That doesn't look like a police badge, what was he flashing? So many things wrong in this car and coffee.

AAA has badges now?

I tried to zoom into the badge but couldn't make much out of it.

Part of the problem is these newer Mustangs have traction/stability control. Idiot drivers probably never switch it off and don't realize its saving their stupid asses when they give the car too much throttle coming out of a turn. Then they want to show off, switch it off, have no idea how to control the car, panic when the rear end starts coming around, and crash.

If you're in a power-oversteer situation, ease off the throttle, don't take your foot off the gas immediately. Taking your foot off the gas suddenly can cause the rear tires to all of the sudden regain traction while you are sideways, which can jerk the car around the way you don't want to go and do all kinds of scary stuff. Smooth steering inputs are also needed, steer the way you want the car to go, ie if the nose is starting to skid to the left and you want to go right, steer to the right smoothly, don't just violently yank the steering wheel hard over to the right. The main thing is do not panic and be very smooth with the throttle/steering, or else the car will end up completely out of control in a spin, then you're just along for the ride.
