Just another Stang I was driving back from seattle, crusing on 520E. As soon i cross the bridge i saw a black mustang crossing me from my right side. That car sounded funny (I later found out he had Borla on his car). Then he kind of stepped down and started checking my ride. I was in my 98 Convertible. He asked me if i wanted to race and as usual i said NO. He kind of felt sad and did a couple of passes on me and eventually i responded. From a rolling 40 i had put 2 car lengths on him in about 4 seconds. From a rolling 60 it was just no competition .. i seriously could not see him in my rear view mirror. So after a couple of minutes he came close and gave me a thumbs up, i replied with a smile and then was on my way home. Just after i took the exit from freeway i see the same guy right next to me. He was half way out of his car shouting and asking how many HP ? (He had to shout as my Borla was screaming). My answer (420~ ) took him by surprise and requested if i could pull over he wanted to take a look 
.
Then the usual questions .... We had a good 15 or so minutes in discussion. He was really astonished not to find and turbo or supercharger in my ride. He was a really nice guy.
Moral of the story: Mustang guys are not that bad, they really appreciate if beaten or should I say thrashed by a nice LS1

It's not really about it being a "Mustang" guy, rather, just who the "individual" driving that car is, whether it be a Chevy, Ford, Pontiac, Dodge, or even Japanese imports. I've been a hot-rodder since my high school years (nearly 20 years ago... yikes!!) and have come across my fair share of guys with really bad attitudes.
Back then I drove a pro street '69 Chevelle with a 427cid, lenco 3-speed trans, shortened 12 bolt rear, blah blah blah.... and the guy was in a stock-bodied '79 Camaro with simple bolt-on's (carb, manifold, headers, exhaust, etc.). At a stoplight he signaled that he wanted to race, to which my friend and I looked at each other thinking "He's gotta be kidding, right?!?". When the light turned green he punched it (barely even spinning his tires), while I simply ignored him. At the next light he shouted out the window that my car was pathetic blah blah blah... to which again we simply ignored him and kept cruising around town.
Moral of the story: Even Chevy guys can be such annoying, blow-harded d*cks to other Chevy guys. That's pretty much why I rarely, if ever, "label" people by the cars they drive.
*thumbs up* to that guy in the Mustang for being a true gentleman
