[QUOTE="Mach828, post: 15110981, member: 102965"] Mustangs have always done this. I think its just that as they begin to have more and more power stock, it has gotten worse. You can't take a 400+hp car and run it on 8" street tires and expect it to maintain traction, and then not go into the wall while you keep your foot into it. If you are going to drive it hard, put in a good diff, suspension mods, and sticky tires. They become so much more predictable, and when it does lose traction you have even power to each wheel and it doesn't pitch sideways. Traction control is meant for normal driving loss of traction (water, dirt on the road, snow, etc.) not WOT. I've seen a lot of guys at the track run their 500hp cobra, gt500, coyote on crap street tires with no suspension mods or experience driving. My first thought is always they are going to point to the wall, and they always do. [/QUOTE]
