Bitter? Why? I have a '13 Shelby SVTTP in my garage with 305mm of Nitto drag radial rubber on textured matte-black Forgestar F14's in back and another 275 up front. I routinely get compliments and honks of praise from fellow drivers, many of whom are not sitting in Mustangs. I've had three SAPD officers pull me over just so they can ask about the car and look under the hood. I smile every time I get in it, 5.5 months after I drove it home for the first time. What reason would I have, then, to be bitter?
I'm not mad either, but persistent stupidity and ignorance does tend to wear my patience a little thin. I'd be willing to bet that is the case for most intelligent individuals. Comparing a European luxury sedan/coupe to the Mustang without properly qualifying the comparison is, without question, rank ignorance or selective stupidity. I believe my irritation at my fellow Mustang owners for perpetuating such behavior is well warranted.

Saw it. Loved it. Didn't expect anything good from Jermy tho. I think it's a conspiracy by the European Auto Union to make America's top car be the first to lose a race against public transport.
The most disappointing part was that they didn't turn over the keys to the Stig to go around the track. I'm sure that's just more conspiracy since it would probably wup most of those over-priced Euro-trash super cars!
