Deliveries of the new Ford Mustang didn’t start long ago and already, the driver of a bright blue GT has found out that it can be quite an unruly beast at the drag strip if you don’t know how to control it.
The entire incident was captured on tap and promptly shared to TikTok. It shows the driver of the Mustang lining up alongside a modified Cadillac CTS-V and the first half of the run appears to go off without a hitch. Unfortunately, the video initially focuses on the CTS-V and when the Mustang reappears in the frame, it can be seen sliding to the right.

The driver of the Ford was unable to control this slide and the pony car slammed into the crash barrier on the side of the drag strip. It appears to have hit the barrier with such force that it actually smashed through it and then came to a rest on the side of the track after hitting a fence.

It’s immediately apparent that this Mustang will never return to the roads given how much damage it has sustained. Not only has the front end been destroyed by the impact with the barrier but the driver’s side rocker panel has been almost completely torn off. The rear window has also been smashed, the trunk lid crumpled, and much of the passenger-side rear quarter absolutely destroyed.
It’s never nice to watch a lovely car like a new Ford Mustang GT get wrecked in a crash like this. However, we couldn’t help but chuckle when the person filming the video said “I like the interior on this car dude” while assessing the damage it sustained.
