So it looks like the Mustang GT hit something in the end, was it the IS350 he hit? Or something else? Hard to tell, but man that CRUNCH sounded awful thinking it was either of those cars!

But hey, I guess they learned why doing that is stupid, huh?

The Guy in the mustang Wanted to test the braking distance on his Car.

That qualifies as a kill not just winning actually ending the carreer on the other one

hope the guy is okay though

damn russians, anyway i guess that answers my question, is the mustang GT worth a look...and the answer is NO not with that live rear axle which most likely helped it crash at the end of that vid...plus mustangs are a dime a dozen.

If you look closely at the video, that's all it does. It is too blurry to make it out, but if you count the hash marks, it's 140.

The GT driver was obviously an amature - he obviously slammed on the brakes thinking his car is a high performance vehicle because his salesman told him so.

Brakes locked, uneven terrain caused it to steer to the curb, which ultimately caused the crash; driver error.

The GT comes with ABS...the brakes didn't lock. Looks to me like too fast, didn't let off soon enough, and not enough brake along with possibly dirt/gravel on the pavement.

Anyways good to see the IS come out on top.
