That might keep him guessing.Fair enough. Next time just shout that it's a Ferrari or something.
Damn, 4 years flies by like nuthin...Funny reads in this thread! Sure keeps my busy...
Should’ve told them ALL GT350s are just as fast and capableRoad Atlanta last summer:
These 4 Vette's had traveled from TN and were all running in the Red groups. Session 2 I head out and am feeling good. Car is running right and I've re-adjusted to the track with the new grip and power. I head out at the end of the pack like normal and chase down one of the Vettes -- C7 Z06. He lets me buy after about a half lap. After the session stops by the trailer:
Guy 1: Okay man, what the fuck? That thing is quick.
Me: haha, a bit surprising, right?
Guy 2: We saw you catch us after the esses when we were behind some traffic. Once they let us by, Frank turns to me and says we'll leave that Mustang on the back straight.
Guy 1: But then we didn't pull away. So I told him we'd walk away in the braking zones and corners because Mustangs don't stop or turn like a Vette.
Guy 2: After Turn 12 you're even closer, so I leaned back over to Frank and said, hey bud, I don't think Mustangs are supposed to do that
Guy 1: So I point you by thinking I can follow you and learn the lines
Guy 2: But then you just walked away from us like we weren't even trying. And Frank leans over and just says "I fucking hate getting passed by mustangs"
We all had a good laugh and then later in the day I had a session where I started late and ended up starting about 4 cars behind the entire pack of Vettes. By the end, they had all pointed me by. I stopped by their camp to chat after the session and the following exchange happened:
Guy 1: Oh great, here he comes to gloat.
Guy 3: So I look in my rear view and I see this angry red car and I'm like "oh shit, it's that fucking mustang that Frank complained about. Damn that thing IS quick."
Those gents were truly hilarious. We had a great time playing cat and mouse all weekend. They really did hate that damn Mustang. Hahahaha
A couple of years ago I visited w @montreal ponies . The Canadian border agent said his father had a Shelby and knew all about mine. He went so far as to ask me to “hit it” pulling out of the checkpoint but then talked it back. Nice guy. I drove spiritedly away and saw a thumbs up coming out of the window.Crossed the border into Canada (pre-Covid). Canadian border control agent looked at the car and said "you know we have speed limits up here".
"You should supercharge it"
"You should turbocharge it"
"You should put headers on it"
