Mustang crashes.. White e92 gets away

DropTopKingM3 · 09-28-2011, 08:18 AM

A friend of mine told me about an accident on the Sprain Brook Pkwy in Westchester. The yellow mustang crashed and the white e92 M3 got away.

At one point, the man in the Mustang attempted to shift from the left lane to the right —cutting across all lanes of traffic —and lost control, police said.

Wow i literally was on the sprain around 8 right before that accident happened. Guarantee I've seen these cars in the area before.

D335NUTZ · 09-28-2011, 09:28 AM

M3 suspension ftw?

Alpine Whiteboy · 09-28-2011, 09:40 AM

And THAT is why M3 > Mustang...

J-boogey · 09-28-2011, 10:28 AM

and thats why mustangs are GARBAGE they don't hook for shit

reaper335 · 09-28-2011, 10:43 AM

the mustang tried to do a 3 lane switch and failed... didn't say the bmw did the same maneuver and succeeded. so it's more of a mustangs sucks article rather then bmw is awesome

madeinhongkong · 09-28-2011, 10:49 AM

didn't look at the link yet still at work but i hope the guy in the stang is ok.

reaper335 · 09-28-2011, 10:51 AM

yea said he will be fine

themyst · 09-28-2011, 11:45 AM

I take the Sprain to work every day, it's a fun road

Not one where i'd want to go on high speed pulls though, there is MAYBE a 1 mile stretch going south where the road is straight, but too many twisties for high speed action on that road.

D335NUTZ · 09-28-2011, 11:54 AM

Twists and turns are where the fun is at!

Lol, such a close minded forum. You guys underestimate Mustangs too much...My guess is that the Mustang was going so fast and so far ahead of the M3 that he slowed down and the M3 did a ricer flyby and the Mustang had so much power that he downshifted and the tires broke loose, spinning him out.

uwotm8 · 09-28-2011, 12:10 PM

lol I don't get the closed mindedness to mustangs, but I also don't get why they were driving like tools. From what that article says, I'm surprised he got out with only a fractured femur. Coulda been worse...

D335NUTZ · 09-28-2011, 12:27 PM

I use to have a 94 Mustang GT. Then I saw the light! Lol

But seriously. Only mustang I really give props to is a KB Cobra. Most of the mustangs on the road are a joke.

Alpine Whiteboy · 09-28-2011, 01:27 PM

It doesn't even say what year EITHER car was so for all we know it could have been two old slushboxes trying to outrun eachothers ego...

J-boogey · 09-28-2011, 01:46 PM

my friend has a new stock 5.0 in a 6 speed which i destroyed, well see how well he keeps up w bolt ons

With minor bolts on's, you will be the one trying to keep up. Literally an 11 second car with sticky tires and a good driver.

themyst · 09-28-2011, 03:35 PM

It depends on the gears the 6MT 5.0 comes with. The 3.31 gears are best for top speed, 3.55 is a happy medium and 3.73 is for fast acceleration.

I've learned to ask what gears the 5.0 has before I say good kill or bs.

Police do not believe the driver of the BMW played any part in causing the crash and are not actively pursuing him.

I guess the cops out there are bimmer lovers too
