Poor, poor Mustang..........

My son Steve was driving the 'vert the other day........just minding his own business, and a 3-4 year old Mustang GT runs up behind him real fast. According to him the stang would run up on his rear real hard and then back off, and then do it again. After about he third time he decided to do something about it. He drops it into 2nd and floors it.Once up to speed puts her into drive and quickly reaches triple digit speed. He said the stang could not hang, and after about 7-8 car lengths, the Ford decided he was late for an appointment and turned off a side street. Hopefully the young Ford driver learned a valuable lesson.

Buicks, like pitbulls should be respected and left alone. And hope they don't run in packs!:laugh:

 

"Horsemeat - it's what's for dinner!"

 

Buicks running in packs... my god, if that happened, I would really hate to be a ford owner... ouch...

 

You really think he waited till the 3rd time? :grin:

 

Anybody ever notice that mustang boys are about the cockiest of all types?

 

agreed <raising hand>

 

Actually, my whole family is GM oriented... we have a habit of kicking the crap out of rustangs whenever possible. :grin:

 

The same w/ some of us around here. Didn't say they had anything to be cocky about:moonu: :moonu: :moonu: :moonu:

 

One thing Ive always noticed about mustang boys is that theres usually a reason they lost. "My bottles empty, i spun off the line, i missed third...." Dont get me wrong, there are a few cool guys driving mustangs, but most of them seem to just be driving a mustang because of its reputation to be fast, not that it really is.

That's actually pretty accurate.:Smarty:

 

i couldn't agree more

especially newer mustangs... which i find even more laughable... i have seen some stangs that could put up a fight (my buddy has one tricked out pretty good, not my style but it can roll)... but of course those aren't the ones starting races they can't win with every car they find

 

Very true! Everyone has an excuse for getting wiped out by a grocery getter, Mustangs really hate it...

"I would have had ya if I wasn't spinning!!"

"Exactly"

 

oldest rule of drag racing

Run what you brung, and hope you brung enough. (this include cars that can't hook):Smarty:

 

the cocky types seem to be the ones with either stock stangs, or one's that they rice out to horrible extents...if they owner has actually been inside the engine of his late-model or fox body ford then he probably has a little bit of smarts.o No:

of course someone always defies the rule...there's a guy who runs at the local eighth mile strip often with a purple mustang with a big spoiler and silver decals down the side...and it hauls. as soon as it starts to get traction, he shifts and the tires go willy-nilly.

 

Talking to my shop last week they were shaking thier heads over a mustang owner who was demanding 750 HP on the dyno no matter what, money no object.

He doesn't want to "mess with the stock performance" so this lovely piece of work is going into a stock frame, rear end, and trans. I wonder who he'll blame when all that money is all over the road.

They were joking about giving him a 400HP car and he'd never know the difference... I guess these guys see it all...

 

true story

2 years ago in the summer, I raced this mustang dude, (we all call him foreskin because his license says forsakin

So he pulls up to the lot we all sitting in, and just demands that I race him, probably because I was the youngest. Everybody laughs at this guy acting like he is big sh*t in his 14 second car.

So I race this guy with my GS 5 times in a row, each time I would beat him by more distance. In between the 3rd and 4th run, he had to pull over and do some stupid suspension tricks with his strut bars, this guy had no clue. Best part his, I have to laugh, I had 4 people in my back seat for traction, blaring Van Halen. I used to always say to people to get me to race my car isnt fast; it still has the bench seat and a column shifter

And at the end of it all, he tells people those big block Olds's are fast.:blast: :blast: :blast: :blast:

Yeah, so mustang guys take the cake:moonu:

 

I dunno, I raced a pretty fast Stang last night with my 14 sec. Wagon...of course we were in his territory (on highway starting at 70mph), but regardless he pulled from me a lot harder than I've ever seen before. Pretty tame looking though, white with blue racing stripes and stock body and wheels. Earlier in the night I raced a hopped up late model Z28 and he was really about even until about 125 when I ran out of gear. So, not all of those 'Stangs are just talk! He pulled over, and I wanted to see what he had, but I didn't because I had to get home, my heater wasn't working and it was damn cold outside/inside and my date was freezin her butt off so maybe some other time. It had to be a 12 second car the way it pulled from me though....dah! I guess it's time to get the wagon into the 13's. See ya!

The Mustang guys around here can't drive. At the run whatcha brung night, I thought that, as I had just done nearly everything that I could to my car and I wanted to see if it would break again, I"d take it down the strip a couple of times. So I get stuck next to this guy that everyone calls Chicago Mike(Because he's from chicago...). He's got a quick car and he knows it, but he doesn't know how to drive. So he gets into the burnout box and starts slippin the clutch to get the tires to smoke. After sitting there for a good minute(all the while, the smell of fried clutch hangs in the air), he pulls up to the line and tries to take me. We start, but he(who thinks - wha'ts this dude thinking, I'll smoke him) starts another burnout that completely wipes out the face of his clutch. It brings him down to my speed(16's) because he's slippin so bad and with the head start that I got(for being 4 seconds slower with my times) I dusted his rearend. I pulled around in the return lane and yelled "Hey, if you need that resurfaced, just bring it to the store tomorrow and I'll take care of it!" and drove off with a grin. Sure enough, 2 days later, here he comes with this toasted clutch asking me to resurface it.
