So I was on the highway today, lots of friday afternoon traffic so I was over in the left lane cruising along at 75. I see a black mustang GT coming up behind me, looked to be early '00s style. He gets right up behind me and then gets next to me in the middle lane and I see its a vert with the top down and some kind of exhaust, very loud. I figure why the hell not, right? So I get behind him and he just jumps on it, and starts weaving thru traffic. I paced him to about 100 and said screw it because there were too many cars. I was getting off the same exit as him later on, and I also went to the same gas station. He comes over and tells me he beats camaros all the time (mind you I'm in a T/A) and he wasn't surprised that he killed me. I didn't really know what to say to that so I got my gas and left. Now that I think about it I could have tried to get him to run again to shut him up...but damn.

he is the typical ******* who thinks he has a fast car man. not saying that title belongs solely to guys in mustangs, but it does seem to show itself quite often.
then again, every type has its own **** talkers.

Yeah, I was just pretty shocked that he actually thought he beat a car that wasn't racing

I had that happen with a guy and a girl in a civic. I kept staring at it since it was really riced out and I didnt see one like that for a while now and we were next to eachother going about 40 and I had my radio off and she looked at me and said something like hey mike she was referring to get boyfriend driving i guess but she said didnt we just beat a trans am. I thought to myself great I might get fucked up by a civic right now. Anyways I know he didnt have an intercooler so I assumed no turbo but possibly spray. Well we hit a light and he asked me if it was modded and I said all stock just a catback. I let him leave for a second and smashed it out of the hole putting a solid 4-5 cars on him before I was out of first and when I let off in 2nd I had about another 4-5. My car at the time basicly had all bolt ons minus headers and ls6intake but I have a 3000stall and I had drag radials on so I was able to mash it hard and it hooks through first then at the next light a few miles later he said he spun pretty bad all I heard was tire screaching but not spinning. So anyways I said we can try a roll and he said ok but then turned off the road about a mile down the road and his gf didnt say anything after I beat him the first time she was quiet

Sorry for the hijack it seems to happen to everyone atleast once and its a joke

Hahaha it is usually the german/exotic cars that pull this move around here. I have had a vert. 350Z try that before too. Pisses me off, but there is NO F'N way i'm gonna go chasing them down and wreck. If you wanna run, LINE THE **** UP.

Nothing more to say.

i get that garbage all the time in my town, which seems to be populated solely by mustangs(all of which appear slow except for the one 04 Cobra)
