Welp, my new GTS has finally had some fun time! It seems that once the streets are half empty and there's breathing room, suddenly people thought they had a chance. No losses yet, but that's mostly because by the time people were instigating, I was already on WMI, lmfao... And because they clearly had no idea what they were up against
- 2018+ Mustang GT w/ at least exhaust (he caught me testing my WMI, only to find himself getting walked and giving up)
- 2014+ (or whatever the newest remodel was) Lexus IS250 F Sport (yea, the 250; I don't even know why he kept laying into the throttle more and more from the stoplight not realizing I was only at 1/2 by the time he was flooring it; I laid into it and it was over... twice)
- 2017+ Honda Civic hatchback w/exhaust (nope, not an Si, not a Type R, just a regular one that floored it off a turning stoplight, BWAAAAAAAAA his exhaust screamed... and once stomped he became shook and nearly rear-ended another car swerving lanes and ended up just driving the speed limit once he came to recognize his futility in trying to race me, lol)
The more interesting stuff happens during normal driving (like a Tesla Model 3 base that, for some reason, believed he belonged on front of me despite making an illegal right turn from the #6 turn lane on a red light in an attempt to get in front of me in the #7 turn lane, but honked at me when he realized he couldn't as I floored it and pulled away), but I generally find that cars that COULD put up a real fight either stay back or avoid lining up. It's obvious at this point that there is some belief that Stingers are fast, so it seems there is a reputation building up!

EDIT: Typos and clarity.
