Happends to me all the time. 2 weeks ago i was coming back from a store, was picking oil up to do a oil change. Got behind a kid in a BMW and he was driving weird to avoid the pot holes. So i passed him, he did the little ricer fly by then he got stock behind a truck. I passed him, he tried to get me to race but ignored him. He got a couple cars ahead of me and cut them off, at the same time trying to avoid a pot hole. He couldnt do both and lost control, jumping to curb, ripping the front passenger wheel and his bumper off.

Then a few days later i went to the gas station to fill up and to recheck my oil to make sure it was all good. Kid in a evo filled up next to me and said "to bad its not AWD, that POS must get its *** kicked all the time" Then he did a burnout while leaving, he didnt notice the cops sitting there and he got pulled over.

idk, Caymans? Boxters? I have no idea if they are new or not. They all look identical (model year wise) to me.

It has nothing to do with racing or whatever and everything to do with Porsche owners having something to prove. My dad drives a Vette and every Porsche owner does the same thing to him. Same for my friend in a WRX. The car doesn't pick the driver, but most dudes in Porsches I've seen are 50 year old guys who are out to prove something.

Also to where I live: I'm right next to Moorestown/Mount Laurel. I see Porches quite often. At least four or five a week, I'd say.

edit: no really, I respect the performance of porches but i seriously can't tell the difference between them MY wise. at all. the differences are so subtle it is baffling.

I would have grabbed the little son of a bitch and rear naked choked his a$$, then when hes passed out, kick his little fart can off. I have a very short fuse and train in BJJ/Muay Thai, i'm always looking for someone to get smart ;)

Lol, sweet justice the other day when I come home and see his car with the front bumper cover off, getting winched onto a trailer. I go over and look in the engine bay because the hood is open and what do I see, his timing chain sprocket has snapped off launching the chain on the driver side through the cover and top of the valve cover. Even better is he did it right around the corner from where we live. Apparently he doesnt realize that its bad to start your car and then immediately do that kind of crap, especially as often as he did. sorry about the long post.

LOL - I live over in Daleville right now and I know what you mean. People down here don't drive real friendly anyway - but going through E-prise is often funny. Haven't had anyone try to race me really other than on a trip to Dothan. A Mustang, Camaro and what turned out to be an undercover cop in a really sweet blacked out Charger. We weren't going that fast - 80 in the 65 - but when I started to pull around the Charger he hit his lights for a second, put his hand out the window and motioned to slow down, then gave me a thumbs up. Was pretty funny really.

I agree with those that say take it as a form of flattery, I try not to make eye contact but in some cases I find it funny watching them trying to blast off the line. However, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

I'm driving up I-95 in Virginia and I see this Shelby GT in front. I try to stay calm on the highway...very hard to do around DC. Anyway, I decide to get a little closer and he notices me in his rear view. Well, he stomps on it...noise, smoke, everything. I say to myself...okay lets see. Well, I stay with him for the for the most part until we hit thick traffic...then I backed off a bit. He jumps off the exit ramp and as I go by I see him pounding the steering wheel. Guessed I pissed him off keeping up with him. It was fun..... :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

I love my Z...... :driving:

z350boy 03-14-2010 12:15 PM

News just reported a couple were arrested for insurance fraud. It seems they were racing a GT-R through the hills of California back in November, and went into a ditch; they then tried to make a false insurance claim. Now they have been busted!!! :eek:

Haha -- most of the 05-10 Mustang guys are very surprised that we are actually a little bit quicker than them.

The 2011s will rape us, though. :icon18:

Not 100% true. Ok before i say my statement, i think roll racing is gay for 2 reasons..doesnt prove anything and its always street racing which is also gay. Racing at the track is where its at. That being said, Unless the race is 100% perfect condition, ie.. track prep, condition of the cars and no mistakes made by the drivers, then yea...the mustang might rape us. That also being said...if one of those examples gets messed up, that doesnt mean the race doesnt count.

What im getting at is before i bought my 370z, I owned a Cobalt SS Supercharged with a Harrop TVS Supercharger Swap, 60lb injectors, CAI and a few traction mods. That was sitting at around 260-270fwhp. Got to the track, lined up...they paired me up with a 89 Mustang with exhaust, intake, drag radials and a 75 shot of nitrous. I beat him, came around, lined up with a stock Mustang GT (08 i think), beat him. Let my car cool down for abit then i jumped in line again. Got paired up with a Mustang Saleen with 480whp. He missed 2nd gear and i beat him.

So when people say "oh car A will rape car B" not always true, just cuz hp is different doesnt always mean a win. The power in the car isnt the only factor in a race. Sorry for long post but thats kinda pet pieve of mine..lol

Well it's obvious that the many real world variables could change things, but don't fool yourself... In equal conditions we don't stand a chance against a 2011 GT... it's pretty simple.

Daishi 03-14-2010 02:15 PM

You know the funny thing is that now since I have the z noone really tries to race me anymore around where I live.. When I had my VW gli and civic si people use to try and race me allllll the time. Ever since I got my z that stopped. The only person who's tried to race me in my 7 months of ownership is a gto.

every car is different, thats what i dont understand about people. They either say we will get raped by a car or someone is bragging about their car is faster then another. Big deal, it has more power...just like my 370z has more power then my old cobalt. If i wanted a faster car i would have gotten one or ill just stick to my ZX6R. But thats just my opinion..lol.

Most street racing morons like to pick on cars that they know they can beat.

Here we go again, you are basing this comment on what, horsepower figures? Last I checked curb weight hadn't been released nor had any figures. I love Mustang just like you bro, but they aren't going to run a magazine time lower than a 13.2 and by the time these things are on the streets many Z's will be faster. Figure most people on this forum have CBE's HFC's intakes and maybe even a tune. Mustang guys will rush straight for CBE's and I don't see that helping them much. The new Mustang will be slower than the new Camaro, it always is, it'll overall be a better car, but I firmly believe that 99.9% of them I'll ever see I would be able to take.

It's been printed a few times that the all aluminum 5L will not add to the weight of the car, so expect the same roughly 3,550 lbs as the 2010 car.

It's pretty much going to be a Camaro SS less a couple hundred pounds, which, in identical conditions will beat a Camaro SS and 370Z stock for stock. :) That's all I'm saying, man.

Oh, and don't forget the FRPP supercharger option, installed at the dealership, before you take delivery. Nom nom nom.

Actually, doesn't the new engine weigh less?

I could be wrong, but I remember seeing that somewhere.

Also yeah, a Camaro is faster in a straight line and the new Mustang will almost def. be faster than a Camaro. You've got it in the turns, but else? idk.

I've never been a mustang guy but they certainly have a reason to be happy.

edit: I've also always thought that dealer-supported "aftermarket" was one thing the American car companies have always done so much better. It's sick that you can walk out the door with a supercharger.

I think you're right, it's a few pounds lighter than the 4.6L.

Would have been a great option for the 370Z!

gumpy 03-14-2010 05:37 PM

Only once have a been challenged at a set of lights, it was ironically by a guy in an Aston Vantage with his young son on board. Anyway just smiled at the guy, gave no indication to race and we didn't...

I get odd looks from people because they're usually doing the overtaking of me... I stick to the speed limit as I will lose my job if I didn't have a license... Hope it helps build up a good rep for sports car drivers out there to show that we're not all hoons...

m4a1mustang 03-14-2010 05:40 PM

I'd lose my job for a street racing ticket I know that!

kenchan 03-14-2010 05:43 PM

yah, i like car guys that enjoy cars maturely. no need to race on the street and it actually looks silly. dumb people in beatup crap cars do that. dont be like them.

Yep, keep it on the track!

Well until we get one on a dyno and see how much drivetrain loss they suffer from and what the curb weight is going to be, its all still subjective. However, with my mods and my tune, i'll try to get one at the strip ASAP, going out on a limb here, but I think i'll win, mostly because my bhp will be about the same and i'll be 300+ lbs lighter.

DEARBORN, Mich., March 4, 2010 – The 2011 Ford Mustang today breaks new ground, cracking the record books as not only the most fuel-efficient Mustang ever, but also the first production car in history to produce more than 300 horsepower and more than 30 mpg highway.
