Default 99-03 Mustang close call

So I was crusin along mindin my own business when a Orange GT comes up besides me and starts to goose it, so I was game. I dropped into 2nd gear at around 55-60 which wasn't such a good idea. I quickly shifted into 3rd and had a good 2 or 3 cars on him real fast. I stopped at about 100 way ahead of him and he does a flyby on me and pops his hazards!! So I give chase again pass him and then slowdown due to traffic. He starts to ride my *** as I manuever through some medium traffic and as soon as I'm clear I punch it and leave him way behind again. By this time Im done and about to exit when he flys by, tries to make a quick lane change between two cars and almost spins out of control in front of two cars and behind one doin about 85-90 mph!!!! All this took place about 5 or 6 car lengths in front of me and would have been a real bad wreck all for a freakin rice flyby!!! (done by a mustang... I know ironic ) I was like "what a freakin idiot!!"

BTW my friend in a 06 Honda Civic SI was trying to keep up but sadly he couldn't.

I believe '04 was the only year Ford had orange available for the 99+ Mustangs.

Nice kill, what mods do you have on the 99 T/A? Using hazards in general are lame and rice IMO......

Since you have a "rice" encyclopdia can you explain how that is "ricey"? Also I didn't "try" to catch him. I did.

Oh really? I thought it was aftermarket because it almost looked burnt orange and UT's located here so...

Thanks for the correction.
