Supercars Ford Mustang Gen 3

Gen3 Supercars Mustang: front-engined, rear-drive, V8 torque and a big footprint — the Camaro's sibling with the same brief. Deliberate braking and a patient return to power.

Slow it while straight, rotate once, then use the V8 as the steering opens.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Pushes on entry

Size and a front engine. Excess entry speed shows immediately.

Snaps on exit

Plenty of torque. Build throttle with the wheel opening.

Falls off over the stint

Rear tyre life when exits are slides. Tidy first.
