I ended up at a red light next to a brand new Porsche GT3 and a newer model Camaro SS. The Camaro was in the turning lane but definitely made his presence aware with a few revs. The Porsche and I took off regularly but I was ready in case he wanted a friendly run, he pinned it in first from a roll and I got on it and we did a short single gear or two pull. I pulled out ahead and he backed off. I think the car surprised him and he slowed way down and hung back. Wasn’t a true test as the GT3 is a 3 sec to 60 car, but still fun he considered the Stinger worthy enough competition haha

Nothing on the street, though I got asked to race a 2015 5.0 Mustang at the drag strip. He got the jump on me, but I had a half second on him by the end.

''I got asked'' lol sorry it just sounds funny.......my luck, it would be ,''hey a**hole!! wanna race!!??lmao!!

Yep. Last night on the way home. A brodozer in a V6 Camaro with a flatbill and cigarette looked over at me and started yelling "hay..HAY..... HAAAAAAAAAY! Show me what that thing can doo" I didn't pay attention to him, and he took off like a bumble bee weaving in and out of traffic. I don't race on the streets, I take it to the track bud.

I'll flex when the street is empty (and straight).....corners and hot dogging are recipes for disaster ....from puke to oil anything can mess with you're traction...then it's buh bye car........track it or shut up!!

Indeed.

He probably got tired of ppl f*cking with him and left.

He did mention some health problems once or twice. Hopefully he's okay.

I just keep that iconic scene near the end of Back to the Future III always before me. "Jeez. I would have hit that Rolls Royce."

Just got challenged by a new 460HP 5.0 Stang and he didn’t win.See link for details. JB4 GT vs 2018 Mustang 5.0

What map where you running and what mods do you have done?

 

[StungBlueGT2]

What map where you running and what mods do you have done?

It was a buddy’s RWD GT on map 5 with just DP & muffler delete.

I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I wasn’t there but my friends probably pushing 475whp which really makes it a 530bhp Stinger vs 460bhp 5.0 Stang.

 

[Fl stingergt]

Ya I have all the fun stuff Junb down and borla jb4 intakes. You must have killed that thing on map 5. I have gt rwd and map 1 seems plenty for the new mustangs to get smoked

 

[Fl stingergt]

I also have a about 300 less lbs on my gt compared to gt 2

Tell him to check his inside door paint for blistering. Check out that thread

Bad paint micro blue gt
If you want to spread the word, @Fl stingergt, you've got to provide the links. Don't tell people to go look for the thread.

Btw, since you raised it here too: I don't think that this issue is the end of the world. But keeping an eye on the car from fore to aft, top to bottom, is part of a new model owner's onus. We are pioneer owners. And we will share our discoveries, good and not so good. This forum is the best place to learn about our cars. Let's make it easier on each other.

not too far off topic........

I got challaged by a VW passat. He refused to drive to the right lane even tho there was no car, so I passed him on the right. As I almost overtook him, he floored it and I did as well
dumb unknown VW driver didn't know I have 255hp. He tried to stay with me but obviously couldn't
He gave up arround 180Kph, I kept it going until 220 hahahah

Autobahn? If it's a yes, than the vw rider is an a**hole!! Chillin' in the left lane of the autobahn is asking for a death sentence to the idiot and the unfortunate speed enthusiast. Unlike here the autobahn is only 2 lanes in most places.Strict rules of the road are expected!

But not all Aholes are driving mediocre speed machines. All it would take is someone with an attitude hogging the left lane with a fast car and the above scenario would be impossible; it would reversed: you come up on his rear bumper, swing to the right to finally pass this roadhog and he floors it and disappears. I suppose you could just drop in behind him and have a nice open road then: unless he decided to match speed or something. I know. That's borrowing trouble. But it's where my imagination takes me.

it was on the Autobahn and yes there are only 2 lanes.

In Germany it's an unwritten law, if a faster car is comming from behind, you are supposed to drive to the right lane.
Some guys, especially with big cars tend to ignore that (or guys with Company cars). I guess they think: I could if I want.

But it's highly illegal to pass some one on the right, no matter what lane it is. So what I did would probably cost my licence.
But he drove 80kph when there was no Speed Limit (he was slower than the tucks, they do 90kph) so i had to make the move
