Not a fan of any mustang from 1971-2010 myself. Ford seems to finally be figuring out that turning well is a good trait to have now though.

Have to say. It is not the mustang that Annoy you. It is just that

Mustang outnumber FRS and BRZ. I normally see 1 of you and 10 mustangs daily!
Mustang has a long history, and generations.
Mustang is cheap to buy, cheaper to mods.
Mustang is a monster if built right.
Mustang 2010 + look much better, corner better.

Finally. It is the driver that Annoy you. Mostly, older Mustang can be bought dirt cheap, and parents buy those for their youngster in HS.

So...your problem = younger drivers. You will most likely engage Civic SI the same way on the street, and 95% = younger drivers

True Mustang/sport car enthusiast, grown up driver, respect each other on the road, having passion for each other car. They are neither cocky, nor annoy others

Surprised you didn't in the ITR. I did in both of my ITRs but not yet in the BRZ. Hopefully it continues that way as I'm getting too old for the BS. I just want to drive... and turn.

I know a fat chick who can roller skate remarkably well. She also drives a V6 Mustang convertible. Ironic, no?

If God made the LS, then the devil made the 2J. The 2J also sounds like pure sin too....and I love it. This message has been blessed for the nourishment of your bodies....Amen.

It's seems like these people have something to prove..... I guess wasting gas or getting pulled over is worth it to them to prove something.

I enjoy the sound of a good exhaust note.
Maybe they just want to have some fun? lol... I have done this before to other people mainly because I want to hear their exhaust lol, not intending to beat them or anything. All you can really assume is that they're car enthusiasts and interested in your car or maybe even see you as a threat because of how many awards theses cars are getting. Either way I wouldn't look at it negatively..
