Mustang LX Driver thinks he's fast

[Phax]

I just had to post this because it irks me. I was at a light next to this 5.0 LX Mustang. I should have known that the guy wanted to race, but I assumed that since there was some traffic, he'd take it easy. We both left the line and I shifted into 2nd at about 3500 RPM.

He waited until after I shifted, and then mashed the gas peddle. Needless to say, he jumped a couple of car lengths. I got on the gas and started reeling him in big time, but my turn was coming up so I let off and made the turn.

Anyway, it bugs me because I know that the guy is thinking, "Haaa, I showed that stupid ricer with his big *** exhaust. That'll learn him about the power of the domestic V8."

Bah. If I wasn't on an errand for work, I woulda followed his dumb *** to the next light and then walked away from him. Oh well... now I gotta find some other shmuck in an LX 5.0 and race him, to satisfy my ego.

it will be all the more crushing when he loses in a real race

Teach them to fear the Nissan!Just one stoplight terror in a neighborhood can raise the rep of that brand.

I remember that one summer where I was outta control, on Preston and raced a lot of folks (and always won).

Suddenly everyone on the Preston lot where saying things like "Yeah Man, Infiniti's are fast".

Fred..

Man I know what you mean, because it irks the **** out of me the other nite when a rice out civic wanted to race me but I thought it wasn't fair since their were 3 people in the civic and I was driving by myself. Then he cuts infront of me, I really regretted not taking him on initially.

race'm like it was a race

I'm sure u'll see him again then u can show him whats up.

They aren't really that fast anyway. I don't see what the big deal is with 5.0's. This kid up the street has one and he thinks he some hard *** with it. Makes me sick... Always revs at me when I'm going through the neighborhood and he's behind me. I'm already doing like 35 in a 25...christ, its not like I could go any faster. When I get my turbo i'll just burn him so his ego deflates and he takes his "American muscle" somewhere else and cries...ahem

Everyone that drives a 5.0 thinks theirs is fast...and they can be, just most aren't. Overrated until you throw a supercharger/turbocharger/build the engine for NA...then they can terrorize some stuff.

On the subject of Mustangs, I had to switch two lanes over to get to the freeway I wanted this morning(freeway junction)...going on the 10 to the 30/330 for school and this dumb lady in her mustang decides to switch lane and block me so since i was coming up fast behind her, I tailgated her a few times and slowed way down. And as i slowed down she started slowing down even more...she was going slower even than the 16 wheeler truck, I know that bish did that on purpose. She must have thought I was tailgating her on purpose or something, so we get onto the 30/330 and she switches all the way to the left lane since it is a 3 lane freeway that merges into a 2 lane freeway, I fly past her in the middle lane since she was still only going like 50 on a 65 mph speed limit. And as I fly past her she gives me the finger...I started slowing down to 55 mph to see if she'll pull up right beside me and give me the finger like she did earlier...that ho decided to stay behind me the whole time and wouldn't pass me up. And she didn't dare to pull next to me...that hoochie mama, bish that she is. I would have thrown my club at her fukin window and shatter it into peices if she threw the finger at me again.

Of course I'll share that with the group, you worthless, trolling sack of ****. Just like I shared the story about getting beat down by the Z06. I'll give props where ever it is due. And call you a ****head when you deserve it... ****head.

heh i raced my friend's a couple times. I would pull at certain rpm, he would pull at certain rpm. it was too close to tell who was faster, (0-60.. he'd smoke me on the highway he got up to 130+mph i hear 240s top at 115?)and oddly he's got headers, hiflo cat, catback exhaust, some sick lsd that locks up, gas shocks.. 5.0 LX too.. all i have done is injen cold air, hs headers and n1 exhaust.. made me feel alot better about my car(ka24de 240, open diff, 5spd) i'm done with modifying my cars power and going at the suspension/chassis.

[MainEvent212]

talkin about modified mustangs lol

i "played" w/ a modified Cobra mustang on I-66...woah that thing handed me my ***

i was in a mini cooper s

no i didnt think i could even hang, i jus wanted to see what he could do lol

[prigo]

my buddy with a 02 GT is talking smack, I was like "dude, of corse you'll own me in a straight line, lets go to malibu"

He kept talking, I should spank him on the hill, cuz god knows my only upgrades are suspension ones, so my straightline is teh suq.

[Onizuka]

yah, mustangs will wreck a 240sx on the highway (the V8 ones at least). Handling capabilities favor the 240 simply because mustangs weigh too much and have solid rear axels most of the time (except the cobra).
