incredible
that I don't care to watch the utter failures of other people enough to know the slang associated with doing so? There's nothing in them worth learning that I don't already know, like there was here ↓↓↓ at a little over 70 mph.

For the record, I first saw the word 'meme' over on Camaro5 earlier in the day . . . and the subject matter was the same, right down to the Mustang involvement.

A few of my friends have been posting these memes up on FB and a few of them pretty funny or clever. Thankfully I haven't seen any S550 crash into a crowd yet. Could it be because of the live axle that's causing these guys to lose control?

It's a dumb meme, and it's getting old fast. But what can you do? :shrug:

No. At least not if the suspension geometry is somewhere near stock. Stick axles tend to be more predictable than IRS because the two wheels that you can't steer are at least trying to steer in the same exact direction (by making the rear wheels independent of one another, IRS does allow slight differences in the toes that can be enough to feel if you're sensitive to such things - or drive hard enough).

But if the live axle cars in question are running relo brackets with the LCAs set to the lowest holes for extra launch bite at the dragstrip (or the traffic lights), they can become pretty demanding to make emergency-level maneuvers (it's a "roll steer" thing). Coping with roll steer in the oversteer direction tends to be outside the skill set of folks who understand drag racing and street racing but not much else in the way of motorsports.

If you look at the video on the first page, he is in an oversteer situation before he turns on to the road. Rear wheels are spinning, he manages to correct for that but the left hand side is loaded. When he grabs second there is a brief pause, the weight transfers to the right side, and a roll steer oversteer condition exists pushing him where he is already turning (left) at this point, he attempts to brake but with zero traction on the rear tires all this does is to further swing him to the left as the front wheels bite. Then into the car he goes.

You drive any type of "specialty"car or truck there are negative stereotypes involved.People gonna be haters,I couldn't care less.

I've had German Cars,Camaros,Corvettes,and now my first Mustang.Whenever I've gotten some snarky comment about any of my rides,I just let them know"Hey I'm a car guy,gives me a lot of joy,and no I don't have a need to impress anyone,I just love cars,and that's what I choose to spend my hard earned money on"
Usually shuts em right up!

When I go to a car show,whenever I see a "ricer"Honda/Subaru ect,while not my particular taste,I have a lot of appreciation for amount of labor and cost went into some of these rides.

Guess what I'm getting at is,we're all car guys on this forum,everyone has thier own tastes.
