LP560-4

Almost forgot about this little episode last night. I was on my way home from the gym and I see this brand new Mustang GT as I pull up to a red light. Now, I'm calling this guy stupid because he was trying to race me on a local road (with many traffic lights and 35 mph speed limit) and the fact that his car was brand new (no plates and shiny as hell), it almost looked like he just picked it up from the dealership that day. This guy starts revving and does the little passing stopping passing stopping. Now I don't mind racing a Mustang GT and having a nice little kill on my belt, but I wasn't about to race some douchebag on a 35 mph speed limit zone with traffic lights every 1/8th of a mile. So I don't oblige and go on the highway and realize that the Mustang GT is also getting on. There wasn't much traffic so I though perfect I get to race and I punched it but I think the Mustang driver realized he was out of his league and didn't even try to race me at all. Now if it was a Saleen or GT 500 it would have been a different story and I would have tried to race him no matter what, but it was only a regular GT so I just went home.

beautiful story. My wife has a mustang GT conv. CS and she knows i would blow the living ***** out of her car. but it's a good car for pansies that think 310chp is a lot.

My brother used to shock the he77 out of SVTs in this APR Stage III GTI he used to have. They could never keep up. The GTI didn't look as imposing as a C63, so he got tested all the time.

MKIV or MKV?

Quadcammer

SVT what? focus?

Cobras? doubtful

Oliverk has a Mustang so he might be a little sensitive when you talk about POS fords
(just yanking your chain Oliverk) my wife drives a mustang and loves it.

theres alot of POS Mercedes running around in this world as well. the good part about having a mustang is that people dont try to rape you with a 4500 set of headers or a 5000 tune.

dmyrick

you can get a tune and headers from Kleeman for about 3500

Well if you read my post you would know that my problem is not with Fords, but with the douchebag who happened to be driving a Ford. A douchebag who wanted to race me in a local road with his brand new unbroken-in car.

douchebags can't drive, they don't have arms and legs!

I saw the youtube video, APR Stage 3 for the 2.0T DSG surely moves, shifts so quick it look like the car is accelerating between shifts.

As for the OP, you made than just a sensible decision, lights every 1/8 mile plus 35mph limit and traffic are all the makings of something very bad to happen.

Sounds... interesting. Good choice of words.

When I was younger, I used to invite girls over to play "battlefield". I would lie down and let them blow the hell out of me.

So does Vegas_AMG.

So true:

Sincity

ProdigyMB from the E55 section had a MKV GTI with APR Stage III that rips.

Sincity

And you are yelling, "incumming!!!!"

Vegas_AMG

These cars turn more heads than our AMGs ever will plus you hear 'em from a few blocks away:

Iacocca, sprechst du keine Deustch? Wir nur MB AMG sprechen...

My German is as primitive as the pretentions of those ponnies.

tanktube67

Ihr Deutsch saugt.

dmyrick

don't want to start a fight but several members including myself think break in periods are a crock, plus you don't have any idea how many miles the mustang had on the clock

moparrbust

Mustanks do turn heads because of their "hey I'm coming but am still a mile away" (aftermarket)exhaust systems..................but they're SLOOOOWWW cars that everybody(that ownes one) seems to think is the baddest/fastest thing on 4 wheels. Now modded 03-04 Cobras and new King Snakes are a totally different; and MUCH faster, story.

dmyrick

agree completely, my wife's car has a great exhaust note, but it's still only a 310Crankhp car and the build quality between a mustang an a c63 are like night and day.

Vegas_AMG

Do you even know what a Mach1 is? It is not even close to a regular GT. The blue one is only .2 - .4 slower than a stock C63. It will a give a good run to about 80mph, then its over It's has a custom tune x-pipe cold air intake. Before you spout off with with sloooooww do your homework.

One thing I do agree wih are Cobra's and GT500's. FYI they are called Super Snakes a limited edition aftermarket GT500 upgrade by Shelby American. So get it right, king snakes, funny.
