I hate it when they think they have a V8 under the hood and race a V8.

I haven't had anybody seriously want to go but I won't street race my 5.0 anyway. See a lot of cut down Hondas and the like, little fart cannons, and I'm scared to death of racing them on the street because if they (or somebody else) get hurt my house is gone. It's not the law it's the lawsuits that worry me. Just not worth it, besides, they don't stand a chance anyways.

Maybe he used to have a Mustang and then his wife made him get rid of it because baby?
This...

I think many of them, like the guy in the Taurus, just want to see and hear the pony go for a little run . . . why not make their day and give them a little show every now and then? There is no "acceleration limit" and if you keep it reasonable it really isn't all that dangerous.

For myself, here in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the opportunities are few and far between, in three years it hasn't happened to me yet . . . kinda disappointing actually . . .

Had a last gen m5 try to mess with me on the interstate in heavy traffic, had no interest with that amount of traffic. Was wondering how well that v10 moved though

It's funny. I used to get it all the time in my '10 GT. Never happened once in my '13 Shelby.

Maybe that's why some people stick snake badges on their not-snake cars. They're not posers, they just want a little peace.

I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror due to self loathing if I changed out the emblems to the Snake .

Now, when I get a chance in the next year to slap on a Roush SC then I may add some Roush badge work in the grill and or on the bumper.

For me, getting the 5.0 was for my own enjoyment...and as a deterrent.

I have had my GT/CS for almost a year now and have only had two cars try and race me. First was a 11 or 12 5.0 and the second was a C6 Z06. The 5.0 was some young kid who was being wreckless and giving us 5.0 owners a bad image. The Z06 on the other hand was trying his hardest to bait me into racing him. As much as I wanted to see what my car had I backed off and rolled my windows up and ignored him. I do make monthly trips to the local drag strip where I beat up some Mopars and Chevys. That helps to keep me from making a bad choice on public roads.

I drive early in the morning to avoid the downtown traffic when I have to commute from Central Florida to Tampa. About 5:00 AM, I get the early morning youngsters going in to Wally world (the Disney attractions) for their early morning work hours.

Yep, they try to egg me on. I'll guess it's the bright red color, or the GT500 rear spoiler I have, or the fact they are just idiots looking to raise their insurance rates that mom and dad are paying for.

I let them go on their way. I figure I saved a life that day; mine.

The 02 GT vert, the 11 GT/CS, or the 00 Lightning....it is funny watching the idiots try to push me. Every once in a while though, this old man has to show them I can embarrass them.

I don't get why the kids in 90s Honda hatchbacks rev their engine at me. It's absolutely no competition even if he's packing a turbo, and he ****ing knows it.
