Dumb asses. The people that made this video obviously have no respect for the machines they are tearing apart, or any concept of how stupid this is. You may think you’re “brave” or that not caring if you get hurt makes you cool, but all anyone else thinks is “wow these guys are retarded.”

The folks who pulled this stunt wouldn’t have been laughing had they been hit with shards of red-hot metal from the exploding rotor…

@90xjpunk: the engine isnt really “unloaded”. Pressing the brakes creates resistance.

@muscle_truck_4x4: its not a matter of “pushing through” the brakes. only slight pressure is needed to create enough friction to cause this.

@five-ohh: jond91 wasnt disrespecting the Mustang…he just has poor spelling, as exhibited in his spelling of “wait” (correction: “weight”).

@0010charlie: nobody here said that this was a ford, so why dont YOU “shoot yourself in the head instead of shooting your mouth off.” “All idiots talk to and about one another.” Well, at least youre admitting youre an idiot, seeing as how you are here talking “to and about” us. But, to give you some credit, i can easily understand how an idiot (such as yourself) could mistake a conversation that mentioned a mustang as stating that the car in the video is a mustang. Now that we cleared that up, what was that you were saying about shooting yourself in the head..?

ITS NOT A FORD MR. I KNOW MY CARS ITS A DODGE INTREPID SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SHOOT THEIR MOUTH OFF INSTEAD OF SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE HEAD. But you ding bats give them the smile just by talking smack and its as wrong as what they did. these thing would not be on U-Tube if there wasn’t people who watch these idiots pull these stunts. All idiots talk to and about one another.I am writing this to prove that I to stooped to a idiots level for five minutes just to prove a point. LATER IDIOTS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS POST

This is what the mechanics at your local shop do if you leave your car for the day. ” Um sir, your calipers are sticking and you need new rotors, that comes to about $1200″, “otherwise we can’t guarantee or warranty the work”. I suggest you make your presence known, take advantage of free coffee and stand next to the bay your car is in.

@gresco150
yes, you are completely right. I know my car is not fast by any means, but I was just making the point that you can have a huge motor but that doesnt mean much if you drive a land whale. Your GT will leave me behind, I know that. I got my car because it can handle well, but it does hold its own against the college punks with the V6 and cant drive to save their life.

You have to admit that is awesome. jond91 it sucks for guys with nice mustangs too cause every guy who has a 4 cylinder car with a 5 speed thinks their car is fast. You were talking about power to weight ratios. 2700lbs is heavy for a 4 cylinder. The mini s model only had 163 hp. 15.5 at 90MPH 1/4 mile. By the way the source for that is Car and Driver. That is pretty bad. My mustang GT only weighs 3300 with me in it.

Lemme guess. This was taken somewhere stupid people do stupid things like jumping off buildings, getting hit by crazed farm animals and play backyard wrestling with ladders and metal garbage cans. This is probably something that got edited from Jack Ass or something.

makes me cringe to think about the person who dropped their car of for a brake job….. this must have been a Midas

Wonder if the owner will see his car on the lift. These kids watch to much myth busters.

not disrespecting, Im just tired of every 17 year old thinking their moms hammy-down v6 auto Mustang is something special. you obviously have something to be proud of, I have a great deal of respect for Mustangs in the right hands

@Jsharp

so what im sayin is yea it can push through the brakes..

Jsharp
Oct 6, 2010 at 5:25 pm

it was all fun but yea should of been behind something just in case..and “4 banger” or not my 4cyl has a decent amount of power compared to a mustang gt which i havent ran acrossed one that has beat me..

thats so cool, if i had a p.o.s. i’d do the same, i dont get why all of you are bashing these guys its a crapy car its only front wheel drive probably only a 4 banger, the only thing they should have done was filmed it behind some bullet proof plexy or something a little more safe but its harmless fun on a crap car so i say why not, im just surprised that little engine has enough to push through the breaks like that

Worst part is, it’s probably not one of their vehicles.
It’s probably a customer’s car come in for a brake job.
And also on that parts list posted before, don’t forget that side wheel well, since it’s like that’s damaged now, too.

…not to mention how bad it is for your engine to constantly rev it unloaded

So if this car were to see the road again, it needs quite the list of parts just in that corner.

- New front rotor
- New front pads
- New wheel bearing (due to high heat damange)
- New CV Joint (likely also burned up)
- new caliper
- new caliper carrier
- new flex lines
- brake fluid flush
- new ABS Sensor (likely melted)
- new front tire (look at the sparks that hit it)

I had to laugh at these idiots. Surprising how long it lasted, and how violent the explosion was. Wondering if that was a customer’s car, wouldn’t put it past them.
