You definitely did the right thing..........stay away from idiots like that

They'll bring you down to their level and beat you on experience

I get idiots like that in my ST all the time was hoping that would stop in a Mustang unfortunately it looks like it won't change.

By the way OP I really want to get a camera setup much like what you have used in you're Mustang when I get mine.

What camera did you use? Did you hardwire it to the car? and how difficult was it to setup?

Cheers

Golf R, it would probably beat you. 0-60 is around 4.8secs but it's much lighter than the mustang

Thinkware F750 2Channel hardwired, few of us have them. Easy enough to fit, just need a couple of fuse taps & spare fuses.

4.9 plus it has nowhere near the power of the Mustang. Frankly if the Mustang loses to a Golf it should hang its head in shame

Guess mine should go hang its head then, I wouldnt even attempt to run one.

[MENTION=8914]Big_G[/MENTION] is correct, a Thinkware 750 front & back. Currently it is in the 12v cause I am awaiting delivery of a couple of fuse taps from ebay (up to 1st August! Usual ridiculous delivery times that I didn't check on ordering).
It is necessary cause the cigarette sockets in the Mustang are permanently live which means that the camera carries on recording for 6 hours after use. Pain in the arse. Can't fault the camera though..... just my local crappy roads which makes it think I'm having a crash every few hundred yards

You did the right thing...don't rise to it.... I know of 3 guys that got involved in a bit of a showing off session with another car..... 3 guys that are no longer with us:(.... A mother lost her son his friend and her husband, n the blink of an eye:(:(

It just ain't worth it....

True - aint worth it...plus if your in a Mustang, you have already won :ford: thats the way I see it. Couldn't care less if a piece of crap boy racer in his 15 year old corsa beats me - I know which car I would rather have! :cheers:

Things like the Golf R, Audi S3, A45 AMG will all absolutely walk a V8 0-60 (especially the manual).... combo of lighter weight, AWD and PDK style boxes.

However, once above about 50mph the ultimate power advantage of the Mustang will come in to play.

I had a good 'play' with an A45 AMG on the motorway a while back.... above 50mph my car was slightly faster in every gear, although there wasnt much in it. A remapped A45 would kill it.... but then again I still know which car id rather be in

+1... and I think the distinction between one being a 'hot hatch' and the other a 'muscle car' says it all.

I think it all comes down to the fact, that we know full well, most of these chav racers/English Ricers/Peasant Wagons/Halfords specials etc. Would lose, they'll pretend to have a race in their head thinking they're the muts nuts and then will boast 'Theyre scared'

Not realising full well, that we'd smash the living sh1t out of them given a chance.

I could have a race in my own mind with Usain Bolt, don't make me faster if he's clueless about that race does it!

This is off topic, but I just realized that as I read posts made by you fellows in the UK, I have the voice of Eric Idle in my head as your voices. LOL. And for some oddball reason the women all sound like John Cleese.

And we all think of american's with like Southern Texan accents ;)!

I can assure you, we don't strap ourselves to crosses in our spare time though.

I agree on the Audi and Merc but hope not on the Golf. Anyway it is what it is
