Funny Mustang incident

I had just left class with my girlfriend and we were on our way to get groceries. I was driving her sunfire down the street (2 lane, 60 km/h) when I see a grey Fox body Mustang with a large, white cowl induction hood race up behind me.

I look into my rearview and see a white male, early 20's leaned way back in his seat just peaking over the sterring wheel. Loud music playing..all the windows down. I know what this guy is thinking..."Oh yeah...I'm the shit". He follows me into the turning lane for the next street. As we wait at the light I hear him reving constantly...trying to attract as much attention as possible.

As we make the left, the Mustang sweeps into the outer lane and guns it past us. We,ve all had this happen to us...lots of noise, no speed. This exact moment made me wish more than ever that I was in my Supra. You could smell this car go past us because of his massive exhaust and I would assume no cats. It smelled like unburnt fuel and ass. He then proceeds to cut us off before coming to an abrupt stop at a red light.

As the traffic inches forward, the Mustang revs the car quite high (very loud) and attempts to move forward...I noticed that the car almost stalls as he does so. At this time I look at my girlfriend and make a few comments about how shitty I think this car is as well as how white trash its owner looks. When I look forward I see that we are still at a red light but the Mustang appears to be shaking. I look closer through the rear window and what do I see?...the guy is physically SLAMMING the car into first but it doesn't seem like it wants to go. He finally stops abusing his shifter and revs the car really high again. I listen closely to him drop the clutch and the Mustang dies right in the middle of the street.:biglaugh: He tries to start it...nothing. At this point we are the only people at the intersection and I'm attempting to stifle my laughter. He then rolls down his window, flips his 4 ways on and waves me past. It made my day as I drove around this Mustang, with its owner slumped over the steering wheel.

I guess it's that time of the year again...spring it here.

Although that is a great story, and very well told might I add, I would never get glee from someone else's car troubles. No matter what kind of car he drives. I love outrunning mustangs as much as I enjoy eating cookies and creme, but I don't want him to tear his car up while trying to outrun me. Again, great story telling and I loved the use of capital letters and punctuation...............:biglaugh:

I will add to that story that when I passed by 10 minutes later he was gone. It was just too funny that it happened at the exact moment I was talking about it.

Another typical mustang owner. Its guys like him that give them a bad name. Loud exhaust and nothing else done to them. It sounds like he blew out first gear, ive done that and it cost me a new T5!

I witnessed that yesterday on my way out to play some disk golf. A mustang "flew" by me, noise could've killed someone, but it almost seemed like he struggled to pass my 115hp 200 loaded up with 3 people in the car. :p He was being chased by a civic with exhaust, which was ALMOST as loud as the stang, which is pretty bad considering it had 3.2 less liters, and half as many cylinders. He was moving a bit quicker, too. :p

Wish I was in my Supra, but ah well, whatcha gunna do?

by the way of which, i own an 82gt. My point being the guys running real power and hitting the track frequently, dont just have loud exhausts. But i thought that was a given, but next time i will state the obvious

mad hatter, i guess you took me wrong. Theres always someone with a modded something. What makes me feel bad about romping mine around, is the fact that theres "hotshots" out there thinking theyre badass with their exhaust. Then they rev, burnout, and sometime in the future wreck it or cause an accident (aka my older bro) Sure theres always those, but so many of them pick mustangs, and earn a rep for everyone. Another unwanted rep is on the street bike scene. Stupid kids buying gsxr1000s for their first bike, ripping it around and either killing themself or someone else. Thats all im saying, not that there isnt power out there or that its even easy to do. Mine had about 330hp with some head work, a cam, roller rockers/lifters, full exhaust, msd etc. The only ripping i really did was at the track.

lol i know what you mean man the mustang does seem to get a bad rap for some reason its kind of like most hondas i see there are a few nice ones thrown in the mix but you have to deal with the asses to find them and by the way sounds like you have a mean fox

ya, its not too often you see a nice tuned honda. and i do mean tuned. Around here i see guys putting T3/T4 hybrids on their stock D16 or B18c with nothing for tuning other than injectors. Biggest idiots ive ever seen. Their motors never last long of course, can you imagine the knocking, and leaning out? But ya the fox is my first real car, nothing really special, full msd ign, edelbrock intake & holley 750 double pumper, mac headers & h-pipe mated to a spintech side exit system. Becool rad & elec fans, ford racing cam, rockers, lifters, some porting. Other than that and some other small stuff its stock. But that engine was promoted to the toyota p/u i have im just finishing up the cooling system on that. The stang is getting torn down and becoming a full project car. Soon to be scca, and whoopin ass! (with some driver training of course)

i could never see myself in a 90+ camaro....especially when chev was so smart as to have the engine installed from underneath the car....who the hell thought of that idea? Add to that they pretty much are the ugliest v8 cars chev has ever made. Apparently you havent messed with a mustang under the hood, you would have been sold.

It saved them time, because at that point all they had to do was drop the chassis on the engine, then tighten down bolts, then ship it out to the showroom floor. Makes sense if you think about it... or are an idiot..

Aside from a few cars (Vettes, Corvaires, Chevelle SS), chevy could fall off the face of the earth for all I care.
