Wow, the no apparent reason would be too much horsepower in the hands of an idiot

That was amazing how fast that got out of control. Driver had no sense whatsoever as to how the car would behave breaking loose. Almost killed a few people too. Yes too much power to brain ratio.

I hope I don't sadden any of you with this...
Yesterday, I made an 85 mile round trip drive in a Mustang! Harrowing it wasn't. Over two lane blacktop, divided freeway, city traffic, speeds from 0 to 85 or so... no disaster happened. Guess I'm not driving well enough..

Yea, i've been driving my triple black 04 GT convertible for the last few months with no incidents whatsoever. It is a little dicey accelerating around corners in the rain, but what car with some HP isn't a bit dicey in those conditions ?

Due to public outcry, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is now doing Cars & Coffee testing on all new Mustangs ....
IIHS Cars & Coffee Test Protocol for Mustangs * watch closely at 2:46. Pretty sure there's a cup of Starbucks flying through the air.

Drove a Henessey ZL1 Camaro thing last week that we got in on trade. On dry pavement it hooked up like it was on ice. One thing you can say about high hp Porsches is at least they are capable of getting the power to the ground.

I don't think we've even scratched the surface on this topic ....
This is an old one, but worth another look  And there seems to be some sort of weird attraction to living rooms:
