1000+ HP, anyone?

Many of Mustangs (et al) I see online crashing while doing an exit from a car show or just showing off have some things in common. 1) the traction/stability control was disabled and 2) the driver shifts into second at WOT while rear tires already spinning and this usually sends the car right or left into places it wasn't meant to go! Keeping a car on the road while spinning rear tires gets more and more difficult as speed increases. The shift happens usually when 1st gear is about maxed out in terms of vehicle speed (15-20 MPH) and the tires begin to spin at a much faster rate quickly yawing the vehicle one way or the other. This is when the driver either under or over corrects which further complicating things...usually beyond recoverability given the circumstances.

Number 2 and number 1 on this video illustrate this.
