Sounds pretty crappy to me. Why rev if you don't want to play. He probably is all talk and not action and you basically called him on it. Haven't really had that happen to me though. Most people leave me alone. Only person to rev me was a srt-4 back in South Carolina and he almost wrecked his car trying to impress me as my wife laughed at him.

Damn no one does that for me, I usually rev it at a car I would like to run, but they usually never rev it back or turn around. I agree with you if someone were to call me out like that and then not run, i'd be mad, but happy at the same time cause I just made him back down

It seems to happen all the time to me. I had similar thing happen to me in my 97 TA except the it was again some in a honda. He reved at me and after I raped him from a light to the next he then rolls down the window all pissed off and screams "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT I DRIVE A HONDA". Why do ricers always wanna have an excuse for losing ?

Got a few here in Blairtown, they'll cruise through town around 55... in first. I'll get up with'em, hear'em rev it up, I'll throw one back, and they get quiet. Sad thing is, I still have stock exhaust, and these stangs all sound like NASCAR material!

A rev from another American Muscle car is like a hello and bad *** ride, but if its from a ricer is a reason to kick there *** its like there mocking ya....JK

Naw who knows maybe its an intimidation factor......

I had this happen today, honestly it coulda been cause i was in the GTP and he didn't think about running me or something. Going down the highway this 99 mustang gt is giving it some hell so we come to a light he's the first at the light i'm in the other lane behind somone, but he takes off pretty fast and so does the person infront of me so i slide in behind the mustang, open freeway ahead of us for miles. I'm excited like ohhhhhh i get to race someone so i get beside the guys in the stang an kinda pace them. He didn't do a god damn thing so i took off and slowed down alittle i figured he'd see my plate 1 FST V6 right he'll wanna play then. Nope nothing again, i was kinda pissed he was all ready to go speeding down the highway before then i get beside him and nothing. I dunno how many mustangs have pansied out on me maybe they just know their cars suck or something?

I get trucks ******* with me.....I had an SRT10 mess with me and run.....I ran him from 55-130...It was a good run since I started out in 4th...I should have down shifted but didnt...Didnt think he would run like that. Had an F250 **** with me, but he didnt want to run...most cars are going in the other direction when I see them...So I usually have no luck!

Mustang owners have this horrible habit of thinking they ALL own 03-04 cobras....till they realize they dont, then they realize there messing with a small sized v8 that should be a large sized v6.....and that despite there hatred for it, they are driving the vtech of the v8 world....its a harsh reality...partly why i got a 5.0 cobra

Heck.........I've got people who rev @ my house 'cuz they know there's a couple of contenders parked in the garage. It's actually quite funny. One guy even makes sure that we can hear the BOV on his turbo.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, but it was some 18-22 year old in a 03/04 cobra convertible. Gave me mad rev and stare-down while passing in front of me.... think F&F wanna be. (I was waiting to pull out of a parking lot). Had his g/f with him. While catching up to him, I accidently smoked the 555's turning from a red light and got his attention. Finally caught up to him, returned the rev and gave him a point ahead. He ends up giving me some **** eating grin, makes a crazy fast lane change and peels right onto another street so that i cant follow him.... WTF? Guess he was trying to show off for his girl or something?

Racing is fun, adreniline is the drug of choice, and racing does it for me, wether it's on the freeway with open roads and no traffic or on the track with everyone watching....Win or loose...who shive a git? Cause I could care less if I win or lose...it's the rush!!

LMOA Have a nice Xmas everyone!!

yesterday I was going to work and poser mobile was in a crx next to me. I wasn't even thinking about him til I heard him take off like a bat out of hell, by that time I caught and passed him, slow to about 65 in 3rd he paces me then hits the brakes, that was gay, but its the only action I can get.
