Annoying Mustangs

Why do Mustang owners with their big V8 engines insist on racing me (FR-S) at every stop light? Yes, you will beat me every time, congrats on your straight line pedal-to-the-metal driving skills. Please keep in mind, there's more to life than 0 to 60. But if it makes you happy to race a car that is completely out of your class, feel free to stomp away. I enjoy the sound of a good exhaust note.

I had an old 5L Stang sitting next to me at a light, waiting for the left turn arrow. He was revving the whole time and then dumped the clutch into the turn after I passed him when the light turned green.

Because going in a straight line is all they know how to do. Yes, some guys track their Mustangs, but most drag race as their form of competitive motor sports. My prior car was a 2005 Mustang GT with 5 speed manual. It was fun to pass five cars going up an uphill on ramp redlining it in 3rd gear. But it's just as fun to hit turns at high speed with the FR-S. It's just a different thrill.

Let them waster their gas. Besides, they'll be the ones getting a ticket as you cruise on by...

Many Mustang/BMW drivers seem to have quite the complex based on personal experience...

They think they look real cool, but in reality people are secretly laughing at them.

Out of their class in a straight line perhaps cuz the 300hp V6 needs a specific track package to beat us where it actually matters. And that's us still rolling on Prius tires.

When I had my DSM it was always riced-out civics and mustangs...I mean always. I still remember when I messed with a gutted-looking eg civic hatch by revving in response to him at a light. He went for it, I left leisurely...he got a ticket down the block

even if they insist on racing, just dont. issue solved.

let them roar their engines, thats why they got a stang. they like to be loud, even if its going less than 10mph....

so funny to be on so may different car forums reading about all the stereotyping of one car or another.
i've got 2 mustangs (one v6 & one v8) and a camaro ss. i've been a TRUE car enthusiast the entire time. meaning i love all cars and can appreciate them for what they are. i can't wait to add a FR-S to my collection.
so continue to bash but i promise you not all mustang owners are d-bags who think they rule the streets but completely understand where you come from as i catch hell on mustang forums for owning a v6 as well as a chevy. and vice versa on the chevy boards.
