Suspension Factors Behind Mustang S550 Crashes in Parking Lot Exit Scenarios

[ksw100]

While driver error is a known factor, what suspension-related (e.g. geometery and dynamics) issues might also be contributing to the frequent crashes of S550 Mustangs when pulling out of parking lots, as seen in many videos?

These drivers are using tire pressure and aftermarket wheels + low traction tires to achieve their burnout and drifting performances. (It's pretty obvious to those of us in the business). They obviously have disabled the traction control and likely the traction control would believe it knows what the tire coefficients are even if it were left working. There is another trick they are using, but I don't want to contribute to this fun version of carelessness. There is a specific front setup that can stop this but why spoil the fun.

Its not just the S550. 'stangs have been known for this for decades.

Please spoil the fun. What specific front setup are you referring to? Please tell us more.

Take your decent bicycle model, set the wheelbase to 0.0+ and take it for a spin. I said decent, not the Milliken madness, it has to have tire Mz inclusion. Then watch pro rally driving on YouTube.
