Reviewer Crashes 800-HP Ford Mustang By Drifting In Parking Lot

The owner of a modified Ford Mustang from the previous generation dropped by ArabGT to have his supercharged pony car reviewed. Things didn't go as planned as he wasn't able to drive it home. With 800 horsepower going to the rear wheels, the car was unfortunately too much to handle for the reviewer. Yes, he crashed the tail-happy GT while shooting the video. Despite the setback, the clip was still published on YouTube.

So, what happened? Well, drifting in a parking lot on a less-than-ideal surface isn't the best of ideas. ArabGT blames it on the lack of a circuit in Iraq where car enthusiasts would have the chance to practice their hobby. It was fairly obvious from the 0-60 mph test that the high-powered 'Stang and the dirty road weren't a match. The driver had a bit of an issue keeping the car in a straight line due to the 5.0-liter V8's immense power and poor traction.
