In a drag race between one person porsche 911 GT3 and a Ford Mustang, the conclusion should be obvious. Porsche should smoke Ford, thanks in part to strong launch control. Meanwhile, the driver of the Mustang is the one most likely to send it into a wall or into a crowd. However, this is a GT3 and a Mustang recently raced each other in Costa Rica.

This was not a polished drag strip, but the pit straights of a local track; it was apparently part of a larger event that drew all manner of cars and motorcycles for some casual encounters on the track. Unfortunately, the Porsche driver appears to have skipped the “how to start your car” part of the owner’s manual.

Wristwatch: Mustang and SUV Collide on Highway, Then Doomsday Ensues

Like white 911 Lined up next to a bright red Mustang, the unmistakable soundtrack of the car’s high-revving 3.8-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine fills the stands. After a while it goes away. Oddly, the sound of the car bouncing off the rev limiter sounds like launch control was activated, but perhaps because the system wasn’t on or the driver didn’t know what to do, it left the line at a snail’s pace. they were doing.

Whatever the case, the car’s rear wheels spin and it soon begins to slide. The driver appears to have overcorrected and ends up crashing into a concrete crash barrier at the edge of the track. The force of the impact not only shocks attendees at the event, but it also shatters the front end of the Porsche, causing extensive damage that will be very costly to repair.

Fortunately for everyone involved, Porsche did not change course directly. mustangNor did it attract the attention of a photographer kneeling precariously on the nearby grass.
