Default Shut My RoomMate Up!

First of all I want to say I have nothing against Mustangs. They are beautiful cars, and I almost bought one but I am just to Chevy Heavy and had to go with the LS1 Z (and have yet to regret it). But I can't stand people who run their mouth without really knowing whats up. My roommate/best freind bought a 2002 Mustang GT just a few months after I bought my 2000 Z/28. The GT has cold air induction, BBK TB, chip, Mac true-duel exhaust, 4.10s and a few other little things, and he thought it was just the baddest thing on four wheels. People always asked who would win. I am some what modest and my response was always the same "I don't know, but it will be close" Then I find out that he is running his mouth saying he would eat me for lunch. WTH I thought. All I had at the time was a slp lid and flowmaster, but my M6 runs pretty strong I thought. I finally had enough so I said lets fo run em and he agread. When hit a light with no traffic. It was a great launch and with his 4.10's he stayed with me until I hit 2nd. Lets just say it was the best tasting mustang I've ever had. It was not very close in the end, and the best part was that I had a mutual freind in my car to witness the whole thing. He is deffinitely a lot more humble

Yeah I ran into a buddy of his that has a stock GT and he just went on and on about how bad a$$ it is and for some reason he didn't believe me when I told him I handled him pretty good. I just shrugged and pulled out of the parking lot at which point the stock GT followed me. I purposfully left it in first and waited until the kid was right next to me and at about 3500 just hammered it. It was bruttal. Now everytime I see the kid around town he just grins at me

True. True. The worst beating I ever received was by a '90 Fox Body convertible. He was all over me like white on rice

Good stuff! I told my roomate I was thinking of getting a Vor-tech super charger and he said those things are for rice rockets. Real cars use a blower. I just looked at him and said a lot of people say that OHC is for Ricers.

Not all stang owners are douchbags. The worst are the young fellas. But I have yet to lose to a stang, then again, there plenty who would eat me for breakfast. They're alot like f-bodys. You just never know!!

That is true. But the point I was trying to make to him was that his statement was somewhat ubserd. Plus I was trying to get under his skin just a little, like he was trying to get to me. I would have no problem whatsoever driving an 04 Cobra with DOHC

I am young (20) and I dont talk any **** to the LS1's. The stock one's sure have their hands full with me, but modded, no. I respect it, its a damn good motor/car/tranny combination.

ah I got ya, and yes sometimes we say things just to nudge it a little more.

Me having both an import and a domestic I get the best *and worst* of both worlds nothing is funnier on that note then time I beat on a tired old bolt on fox body in my hatch then heard tons of smack talk came back in the Camaro then I started saying same stuff about tiny motors being worthless.

I think he then was just so confused he started on fire,never to be heard from again.
