Launch control prefers a straight line start.

As this driver will eventually learn, with age, comes maturity....and hopefully a little smarts.

At least he's got clear side markers!!!

I'm sure he was counting on the spoiler creating much more down force that it did.

OUCH!

Most likely also turned off PSM.

There are lots of videos on YouTube of dumb people doing the same thing... I can't fathom why would they turn off PSM. At least it would be a small safety net to their stupidity!

You can see him look down, fiddle with the controls, then check the change on the MFD... most likely killing the PSM.

I’m sure every Mustang owner has already watched this video. “SEE? It’s not just us when leaving C+C.”

Spoiler up, PSM off. Stupid is as stupid does.

Of course he’ll tell everyone it was cold tires...

I don't see that the driver even tried to counter steer.
