Tips on how to control yourself when people try to race you?

[Seanuf99]

Most everyone in a newish or even oldish Mustangs experience this shit. Lots of ricers like to try to rev up and see if you'll take bait. One of my Mustang bro's told me when I brought MRTWSTR home that people will be straight up weird around your Stang, even brake checking you. For me I'm well into my first good season tracking my GT. Being able to experience the thrill of driving the GT the way Ford Engineers designed it to run is enough to allow me to cruise at or near the posted limits and let the douche bags blow on by. Maybe everyone can't afford to go to the track 4 to 8 times a year but just doing it once might give you the memory of how this baby goes unfettered by speed limits. Helps doing the mundane street drives without needing to hit it hard.

Also doing some nice country cruises with a "little" boost here and there gets it out of the system.

Saw your car today on my way home from Indy. Really nice!

Dude! If you saw me I was on my way home from the TRACK! Just spent the weekend at Putnam Park Road Course with a great bunch of folks!

Actuallly I saw Mrtwstr at Putnam. We took the scenic route and I happened to see the sign, so of course I had to check it out. I thought another member may have been there, but he and I caught up via phone later. Saw your car, but no one was around it, otherwise would have introduced myself. You guys are lucky to have a place like Putnam right there!

Oh dang! Sorry we missed connections. The folks there are such a friendly crowd I might of been over under another shade tent jawboning with some neighbors, maybe after "hydrating" so much in the men's club or riding with my instructor who drives a Boss 302S (look that up!). LOL. Yes I count myself very lucky to have this so close, and such a forgiving track with so many runoff areas.

I just turn and wave like a maniac (you know like you're on a WW2-era steam liner leaving the port of NY). I wish I knew what @EmCel does but nobody can see inside the cabin thru that tint...

I need my privacy never let them know your next move

Driving home this weekend after some time in the mountains, a '68 302 ends up next to me and the missus. He squirts out fast a couple of times, but I'm not taking the bait - so we just listen to each others' engines for a bit and go our separate ways. I don't have anything to prove to anybody.

Kill the speed limiter and change that to 185.

How do you kill the speed limiter??

PCM needs to be tuned. It's also recommended to replace the factory 2 piece driveshaft (which is for crash safety) with a solid 1 piece unit if you want to take it above the factory limiter more than once.

Speak softly and carry the big power to spank once then roll out with a peec thrown up or.... Buy this and tell them off in your rear window like me.

My default message is "700 WHP how about you?"

I took it out recently because I triggered too many souls.

If you get that e85 tune I told you to get they'll kill the speed limiter while they are in there!

I have owned my mustang for 2 years now. Never has any of this happened to me. No one revs their engine, tries to race me or anything. I get cut off of course, just like anyone else but it isn't related to what I am driving (that I know of). Maybe it's cuz I am an old man? (52 yrs).
