Default This may be stupid but I feel my friend is bullshitting me...

Usually in rwd cars like his automatic 95 mustang GT (or in all cars even), when you lock up the wheels, you can NOT turn the steering can you? As in you cant turn the car?

How about my friend just bought his 95 gt two weeks ago, and wrecked it today, claiming he tapped the acel. pedal and it got stuck and was at WOT and when he went to stop the car with the emergency brake the brakes locked up and then his steering locked up, so he is sueing lovitts auto because of those three things lol.

I think he's just a dumbass mustang owner.

I feel like braggin. last night I walked his crustang at 15psi on a 3rd gear roll...we had no stop lights and they were all blinking yellow. I even gave him the go :-D

well he coulda just did this: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/99pedals.htm

but oh well.. its totalled

I think what i ment to mostly ask above was do gas pedals normally stick on a mustang? I love posting at 3am when I'm about to pass out but dont feel like sleeping hah...

oh...ask most dsm owners if they know what 16g knows about the ecu and then come back to me on that one.

You're proud that you walked on a GT at 15psi? Not much of an accomplishment. I can beat a *stock GT under typical circumstances* at much less boost.

so you think a modded car against a stock car is good?


grats and all...but do the same mods to the mustang and you will be killed.....


and it is almost physically impossible for the throttle to stick on that thing....it can be done, but its real damn hard. my guess is a cover up for a fuckup on his behalf. believe me...it happens often. someone thinks they will try to coverup a mistake, and it comes back to bite them.

oh well. good luck......

are you sayign a car cant steer when locked up because the power steering is dead due to stalling the motor upon lock or are you saying the car cant steer because all tires are usless when in lockup induced sliding? ABS woudl cure the second but the first might be difficult to deal with in an automatic
