I get more normal cars riding my *** while cruising next to vettes, boss stangs and other performance cars on the road. Not even the ricers hassle me. It's always minivans or econoboxes in a rush or 3 series that do that to every car on the road, not to me in particular because I'm in a Z. I am in socal though where nice cars in general are a dime a dozen. Still don't see many 370s around though, which is nice.

My cousin has a maxima SV. I drove em... I know. And I owned an altima SE which honestly, packs a little more punch at a perfect weight of 3200lbs flat. But that's another story. The answers on M4's list was mostly entertainment anyway. He made a list and I stereotyped mainly out of fun. Take a chill pill red. Lol

What does the mustang being a sports car or not have to do with the thread itself? And FYI. Muscle cars were derived for a specified type of sport driving. GT's are sports cars as well. They just aren't dedicated sports cars. Don't get the two confused. Non-dedicated doesn't necessarily mean "not real". And if you think I'm lying? Go around the track with a BOSS302 and see if you still want to make generic presumptions on GT capability.

the 5.0 GT seems to be a winner, a really good car, it's just not my cup of tea. I would take it over a Camaro or Challenger/Charger though.

IF we are going to generalize, though....

3 series drivers (particularly the lower models, 328s, etc.) are often major douches with something to prove (M3 drivers have a truly capable car and much less to prove)

next is guys in big trucks, especially raised ones

then we have any mid or full-sized sedan that has blacked out widows, is slammed, has dubs and lots of chrome

based off of stereotype (but not form experience because I don't see too many of them) would be Challengers/Chargers next

followed by Camaros (also based more on stereotypes and general car image)

followed by mustangs, though you experience it more with stangs because there are just so many of them around (ditto the stereotype/car image disclaimer)

riced up civics with fart cans are tied with the above mentioned american makes

then we have Prius drivers who like to drive slow and MPG friendly, but change lanes and merge as if they are driving the same speed as everyone else

so there are my GENERALIZATIONS if we are going there

I will have to say though, it feels like a good 30% (which is pretty freaking high in real world terms) of 3 series drivers piss me off

Audi is coming up fats though in popularity as the hip luxury car so maybe BMW will drop out of the king of douchery spot in the coming decade
