- Vert turbo!!!!
When I meet other mustangs, we normally ride together, depending on the situation (hwy mostly -- and always if another vert with the top down).Had a new BMW 650 doing some little pulls next to me and then was weaving traffic like an idiot. Tried to have fun side by side but tires are bald and it was pretty cold out so in 1st and 2nd I just couldn't move whatsoever. Was pretty annoying because I think he thought his cars way faster or somethingan even better one was at a light I spun in 1st and 2nd trying to get a little jump to merge and this automatic accord randomly completely floored it next to me because I guess he thought we were racing?? As if I would bother racing that car. Anyway, later down the road he rolls the window and says "you let a Honda beat you??" And I laughed and said yea right summer tires are frozen but follow me we'll go on the highway. Obviously he didn't want any of that and was saying "I'm just messing around"... fun stuff.
Yup... BMW and Mercs here are always driving like they are crazy. Camaro's of course must be the jackass... dodges as well.
Landrovers... I know someone has a story about those... trucks and suvs in general. I had a suv attempt to drive like a sports car the other day in rush hour traffic (really silly driving to get no place).
In DC at least, it is always old people driving those and driving like a maniac. I've seen a couple take off at the light like crazy and they all had old people behind the wheel... I don't think they were paying me or anything else any mind.

Truth. I see it every day when I'm on a certain stretch of interstate hwy in the country. They fly by everyone doing 80-90. I saw a pickup driver almost take out a car last week by weaving and in and out. A lot of these guys drive lifted trucks too (high center, easy rollover). I can keep up with them in my Honda if I like, so there's no need to prove anything with my Mustang.

Its funny to see these lifted 9000lb diesel trucks hauling the inflated egos of their drivers down the road. They like running up on our cars thinking they got something! By the time they get rolling I'm already home having a sandwich! You wanna go fast you dont buy a truck! The Rock had a saying "know your role", i mean I'm not trying to haul a boat with my stang!

It's a fun car. I probably spend too much time driving it like a jackass, though. ;)
Oh, and I also rev it sometimes just to hear the exhaust. Sorry.
I'm one of those weirdos that like the sound of most V8 engines.SubZombie

Checking in again to confirm I've had atleast 15-20 lifted trucks and/or trucks with oversized mud tires try and race me since I posted last time (typically getting beside me and accelerating quickly and slowing down over and over). Oh and another guy in a company contractor truck (which is more someone trying to see my car take off vs the people in their own trucks who seem confused about the capabilities of their vehicles). Also one group of kids in an 02/03 WRX who I laughed at (I didn't mean to it just happened, I used to have a 03 WRX).

As they say... it's not a car it's a lifestyle ...
If you're not a fan of attention I'd advise against a upgrading to a GT350, due to the market realities it is more of an attention seeker. Wait till you're just trying to get home after a long day and seeing a '15-'16 not leave you alone...
It's a cycle with these cars ...
