Mustang Hits A Corvette At Cars And Coffee

Mustang enthusiasts really hate the latest video that’s going viral from a Cars and Coffee event in Illinois. That’s because yet again we have their favorite pony car trying to show off with a burnout only to veer off the road, this time smashing into a Corvette instead of a crowd of people.

Watch a Ford Mustang chop down a tree.

What’s even worse is the driver executes a pretty mid burnout before the crash. The guy pulls out into the road as the event winds down, revs his engine, then gets the back tires spinning enough to produce a little smoke, but not much.

Someone obviously hasn’t practiced their burnouts, instead likely thinking it’s easy only to find out in front of a big audience it’s not so much. But it gets even worse.

The footage uploaded to Reddit shows that after the guy is done smoking rubber, the Mustang oversteers to the right. Rather than torque steer his way out of the slide, the rookie driver lets off the throttle, hits the brakes, and causes the spin to worsen.

It’s a common mistake for those who don’t know their rear-wheel-drive, front-engine car well at all. Perhaps they’re used to driving their mom’s Escape or RAV4 and so something like a Mustang is just too foreign to these people?

While it’s one thing for the Mustang to take a beating because the driver is unskilled, and it does as it hits the curb, the thing just keeps on going into a parking lot. Instead of hitting the people standing nearby, watching the horrific scene unfold, it hits a C6 Corvette parked there. Thankfully the impact isn’t hard, but it’s enough to leave at least some damage and push the sports car a foot or two.

This nonsense of doing burnouts in public roads after meets needs to stop. It makes enthusiasts look reckless and dumb, plus it’s dangerous and has resulted in different meets getting shut down.
