What an absolute idiot. Serves dad right for buying that car and giving the keys to his 14 yo son. If he doesn't know how to drive, then he certainly doesn't know how to drive a 500hp car! Can't decide who's dumber, the dad or the son. Better to crash now though than him totalling it on some street, probably killing himself or worse, others.

I think the car was the dad's and the kid was just messing around. I could be wrong though. I like the part where the other kids is complaining about his bike being ruined now. LOL

yah thats not a gt500, thats an eleanor clone by cervini's aftermarket. It looks nice though, and it might have 500hp as they do have an option with a paxton supercharger i believe. But its based off of a mustang gt and has a 4.6litre 3valve as the gt500 has a 5.4litre 4valve, and so on. Nice car though, and an idiot son and father.

Those Cervini kits get pretty expensive. If you watch the video, the kid doesnt even know how to start the car. He attempts to start it numerous times before actually starting it.

Yeah, I caught this one on another forum yesterday. There are some funny things about it, like how he turned on the wipers when he started to move. After it was over, with the damage to the car and the house, the kid's worried about his bike. ***???

omg, gotta chuckle at this video, frist off *** is the dad doing giving his yound son the keys for in the first place? unless he had them in his hand or something? doesnt look like damage is severe though, love the wipers on part , bottome line is if the dad willingly gave his son the keys to start it, knowing he couldnt drive stick, he is to blame imo

Exactly why once people who can only drive slushies figure out the clutch interlock (or even the handbrake and shifter for that matter), they are an instant danger. Looks like this kid figured out the clutch interlock, and tried to do a "cool" rev but dumped the clutch instead. With all the horsepower and torque of that engine, it continued right through without stalling.

And lets not even start with the father who seems to have parked the car only in gear, without the handbrake.

There is some suspicion this video may be a virual marketing ad by Ford, though.
