2013 GT500 footage?

I thought the mustang was due a re-design for the 2013 model year? That doesnt look any different then the current gt500.

That video is awesome. I love the way it looks like they manhandle that muscle car through the corners. Looks slightly tail happy on the turn in, and I'm sure it has plenty of power to be tail happy as you want coming out. All in all, good fun, but fast? maybe not.

It's called rotating the car. That video showed it better than I've seen before, perhaps due to the angle or maybe that particular corner. Basically you use the brakes to get the front tires to bite and use the gas to power around the corner, and from the outside you can see the rear stepping out slightly but the end result is the car is set up for clipping the apex while on the gas.

IMHO, the GT500 isn't my first choice for a track toy. But it is better suited for that use than most cars of similar weight. I would guess the car in the video is fast around a track by any comparison, but not as fast as a lighter car with the same power.
