Drive a Mustang GT anywhere near one!

It seems that the ultimate affront to the manhood of a testosterone pumped diesel pickup driver is a fast car.

Almost without fail, the driver of any visibly modded pickup truck (usually diesel) will stomp on the gas and make as much noise as possible when I drive past them in the Mustang.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

 

I dont yet have my Boss302 (supposedly arriving this week) to confirm your theory, but I can tell you that the diesel truck drivers do the same thing when they pass anyone out riding a road bike. I guess anyone getting exercise in the fresh air is also an affront to their manhood.

 

Wow yes this happens to me all the time. Hahaha

 

I had to laugh at this, as just the other day my wife and I were on I-90 heading for town, cruise set at 75, when a decked out, chrome ladden, Black Ford crew cab comes flying up behind me, and immediately pulls out and passes....driven by a blonde female! And, yes, it was a diesel, with one of those huge chrome stove pipe exhausts.

Maybe it is just something to do with a truck fetish..male or female driver.

 

I have seen these trucks on the street pumped up to 800+ HP.
I've had them try to run me up the highway.
They forget how much they weigh and how that hurts acceleration.

 

This.. Idiots

 

It's everytime for me as well, I drive a modified 78 ford gas engine and I don't think it's fast, I don't get the thinking behind this

 

Happens to me as well. Not with trucks but with these little ****-ants driving sub-compacts with 1.6 liter 4 banger and a muffler and tail pipe large enough for a truck. Common sense should tell them they have no chance to out run a V6 Mustang with two sparks plugs missing let alone a GT. They are annoying as hell and dangerous with their foolishness.

 

Some of these modded diesel's make a lot of torque..between 1500 and 1750 rpm. They only make that much if Foghat is in the radio.

In all fairness, there was a guy that put a Cummins in a '95ish Mustang and ran 9's with 30+MPG a while back.

 

same thing happened to me on friday. thought he was cool because he put in a dual exhaust.

 

I have to say this happened around me all the time, but you have to watch out because a lot of these diesels near where I live are running 11's with mods so they can surprise you from time to time.

 

Bro has an f350 diesel truck. Smokes me. He's running about 660hp. So he says.

 

Had some loser in a stock 97ish f150 brake torque me while I had some other kid riding a harley in the other lane revving and looking at me the other night.

Needless to say, I dispatched them both quite easily. The kid driving the truck turned, and the harley rider came up and said, "Holy Sh*t, that thing is fast." before he entered the turn lane.

Never underestimate the might 5.0.

 

I get this from ricers a lot. I put several in their place but now to be honest I let them have their moment and leave them alone, it's no sport.

Now what really gets to me is these darn Camero drivers always wanting to show just how slow they are . They are annoying and sadly outnumber Stangs around my area.

 

ha ha, LOL, too funny -- yes I have!

Here in Mass/RI, on-the-road challenges are few and far between -- but the few I have received have come mostly from diesel pickups!

 

Had one next to me at a light and he knew i had my window open. Green light he floors it and belows me with black smoke. I quickly caught up to him and smiled and waved as I dropped it into 4th gear...zoom

 

Wow... I'm not entirely surprised that you guys have seen this too... but it's a bit disturbing how common this experience is.

I drove the Mustang to work today which is fairly rare (my commute is 100 miles round trip with no opportunities to let the Coyote off the leash)... but I'll be damned if the "revving diesel pickup" thing didn't happen twice.

 

I saw no less than 5 camaros on the way home yesterday. I have to say they all gave me a wide berth though. It's sad, but new Mustang sightings are pretty rare up here.

 

I still have only seen like 4-5 different 2011+ mustang 5.0. I seen the same 4 often enough but only those 4

 

Thankfully there aren't too many of those trucks around here, but my Mustang definitely does provoke that response from the ones that are around here. Even worse was when I would drive my 370Z -- every lifted redneck truck with a confederate flag rear window overlay would try to intimidate me and show me who's boss.

Z or Mustang I get tailgated like mad by those trucks.

As far as the little rice cars are concerned -- I'm sure they are just trying to see if they can get you to take off as they want to see a fast car run. You might run into the occaisional idiot that thinks he is faster than you, but most just want to see/hear you get on it.
