Enough to make a grown man cry.

I can't write right now, I'm in mourning.

Warning: Not for the faint of heart.


Damaged 2016 GT350 MUSTANG

Information from another Mustang site.

Numbers never lie, and the 247 miles on the odometer of this 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 tell a story of a tad bit of overindulgence. There aren’t full details about what exactly happened, but this beautiful Mustang is currently posted up on the salvage site Copart with a busted chin and, sadly, a salvage title.

The GT350, the second-highest totem on the new-gen pole (below the GT350R), has a host of upgrades, including an aluminum 5.2-liter flat plane crank V8 with 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. That’s paired with a TREMEC 6-speed manual. In order to compete with the likes of the Camaro Z/28, the handling was buttoned all the way up with a stiffened chassis, optional MagneRide dampers, Brembo brakes, and a Torsen limited-slip differential.

Additionally, the entire body has been lowered and sloped to improve air flow, cooling, and downforce. The 19-inch wheels are bigger, the front track is wider, and the wheel arches are wider. On the interior, it has Recaro seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

Ouch!

Always happens when something like this car comes out. Don't want to assume, but someone who has cash and can't drive buys one and promptly wrecks it.

I saw a video of one on a drag strip launching and promptly making a 90 degree b-line for the wall. Wonder if this is it with that front end damage.

The sad part isn't that he crashed it, the sad part is he put more miles on It then most gt350 owners will!

I wonder how much it sold for? Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you know how to operate it I guess.

Another case of Mustang abuse.

What is with these people? More money then brains.
This one went a few more miles, 724.8

Another 2016 Shelby Mustang

On that tv show about lottery winners, there was this hillbilly guy & his son, & they won the lottery & the dad bought a Camaro & wrecked it as he was leaving the dealership.
& his son was buying a TON of tv sets & those display ninja swords as an "investment ", & storing them in a hotel room...
