I'll make my best guess. Mustang has fat/wide front tires so that limits how many degrees the tires turn before they would hit inner fender liner. As I say, my guess.

That's a good point. I didn't think of that.

The mustang does have a poor turn radius, and yes, it's not just a first world problem. If you're trying to make a U turn on a 4 lane boulevard and you don't want to curb your fancy front aero, having a boat turn radius is problematic. Can you throttle and throw the rear? Sure, but who wants to drive like a jackass ALL the time.

But it's also the tradeoff like others have chimed in. Large front wheels and tires limit how much dimension you have available rack to rack. I'd rather deal with turning limitations and have great handling and grip.

The other way you minimize the issue is reversing whenever you need to make tight turns
