Another Mustang Kill

Not much to brag about but was worth sharing.
I'm cruising home on the interstate and hear and see a Mach 1 Mustang slaloming through traffic in my rear view mirror. Guys making a real *** of himself as he bobs, weaves and tail gates his way through traffic. The car is LOUD and obviously modded to some degree.

Generally, in traffic, I pass on playing in these conditions so I'm just watching to be sure he doesn't cause any problems for me while marveling at his complete lack of consideration for other drivers.

I'm cruising in the left lane as I watch this Bozo weave to the right lane to pass, then move back into the center lane so he can go around me and move back into the left lane as there is a nice gap in front of me. He's on the gas hard as he accelerates to pass me on the right and I wait until he's right at my rear bumper and nail it. Loved the look on his face as he realizes all of a sudden he isn't passing me and is starting to lose ground fast. Pulled two cars on him and stuffed his lane change before he knew what happened.

We exit at the same place and end up at a light together. It's a nice day and we both have the windows down and he won't even look at me.

Another satisfying day in the life of AMG. I just love these cars.

I love mine too.

It reminds me of the time I had a cobra stang sneak up on me getting the jump on the highway. I was eating a bannana beforhand jumped on it to pass him by 80mph or so. I couldn't figure out why he was laughing about getting spanked until I realized I was chowing down on my bannana changing the station as I was walking him.

I can't wait to have a W211

I respect Mustang drives because they ALWAYS want to party (i.e., race). 9/10 when I pass a Mustang it is On Like Donkey Kong.

i understand what you're saying but i'm not sure the fact that mustang drivers will try to race a prius if it passes them is a reason to respect them.

VERY nice kill!!!

I have to say, when driving my Cobra, I'm almost always down to race lol. Regarding the above comment about probably losing, you need to be careful which Mustangs you're talking about. Keep in mind most Cobras with minor mods run lows 11's, typically high 10's. Not many AMG cars will pull these times.

Glad to see you had fun.

Same thing happened to my on my way down from Orlando to Tampa. This guy had a modified GTO, I passed him going about 80 on I-4 without a thought and the sudden i see in my rearview he trying to catch up to me. When he finally does, I hear him next to me reving his engine....I say what the hell, pull down my window and give him the 3...2..1.. count AMG!!!!! When he finally caught up to me, he said 'nice car' I am fully stock without MODS!!!! Yes, I love this car!
