Let these jabroni's continue to be just that, they are the guys we see all over google images with their cars totaled and them sitting on the sidewalk with their faces in their hands. All upset lol

I'm more annoyed of people saying they're annoyed of people wanting to race than people who wants to race. Just move along people!

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.
lots of statements in this paragraph kind of offend me. am i not a car enthusiast becuase i dont like stangs treating the road like a drag strip?

lots of people from each group of cars ruin it for the masses. thus where the stereotypes come from.
dont want to offend anyone. it would just be nice if everyone could appreciate each car culture for its unique differences.

A new gt mustang can stick the corners just as good as us. The only difference is they stomp our gutless cars out of the turns. I love my car but I talk to Alot of people who assume these new muscle cars handle like fat chicks on roller skates. It's just not so.

Another 'A car revved their engine at me' thread. Is it possible that this may be the way these people drive on a daily basis? I'm just saying, the twins are popular but not everyone's out to get us...We're not the centre of the universe.

I will say one good thing about Mustangs. There's nothing like the rumble of their V8.

Neither have I, actually. But when I owned my Mustang, I had people with all sorts of vehicles revving at me. I can say that I'd never actually challenged anyone, but there were plenty of times I revved my engine just to hear that glorious 5.0.

One thing I've had happen to me a couple times is that I'll take off from a light a little spiritedly, mostly cause I try to get a good pull on the car each time I drive it to seat the rings, etc, and the person beside me at the light will come storming up to catch up with me like they need to prove that had they known it was a race (which it wasn't) they would've won. Then at the next light I can tell they're gonna try and race me so I take off leisurely from the light and they take off as fast as they friggin can. Makes me laugh a little to be honest, but it always seems to be SUV type vehicles that do this to me.

Lots of crud in here. There are just as many d-bags driving civics or sentras. The reason you see more mustangs trying to race is because they are usually (at least GT) driven by car guys. I hardly ever see guys in Camaro or Challenger picking fights. Go to the drag strip or road course and more mustangs than others combined.

Cheap and fast....

This. Regardless of vehicle, a douchebag will be a douchebag. Having been around dragging and Mustangs for a while (67 GT500, 68 Fastback, 01 GT, 04 Mach 1, 12 GT, 13 GT), they're definitely not all like that.

I've already encountered other FR-S/BRZ drivers acting like asshats.

LOVE the FR-S, great DD and road car, but I look forward to getting a weekend/dedicated drag monster Mustang in a couple years. Different kind of fun.

I guess. I don't really get revved on by any type of car more than any other. The car isn't the common theme, it's the type of owner.

Only car to rev at me was a red FRS. He was just trying to get my attention and gave me a thumbs up.
