Was that a RS200 in front of the Mustang at the finish?

That is quite the violent beast. And with a bellow of fury to go with it...

Was he deliberately sliding it around? there was much steering wheel shuffling...

I think he was. His launch was definitely more for show than speed

I’m guessing he was trying to get as much heat into the tires as he could before the first corner, particularly since that burnout heated up the rears. Heated rear tires + cold fronts = understeer, even on a neutral chassis.
