this was late last summer, in my CSVT (to most it is considered a ricer, hopefully you SVT'ers can appreciate the badge, and attempt at having a cool american car for a decent price)

i'm just rolling down 35E in MN........when this 03-04 cobra pulls up next to me. it's a vert, with 2 dudes in it....mid 20s probably. guy gets next to me and downshifts, to make sure i can hear his blower. i keep going...... trying to ignore him. the car looked extremely stock, and didnt sound like it was supercharged by anything aftermarket.... so after about 5 minutes of him next to me in a low gear revving the shit out of his car, i finally rolled down my window (he probably couldnt see through my tint) and shake my head no. so he popped the throttle a couple times, so i started flippin switches..... from about 55MPH this dude was dead even until.......lets say.......going pretty good, but "not" over the speed limit. then he laughed and sped off once i slowed down........pretty funny he didnt think the ricey contour would stay next to him. honestly though.....who pulls up in an obviously superior car and trys to race? it's lame! i usually provoke the mustangs, and more than once i've been handed my own ass, but more times than i can count on both hands i've beat and pissed off a stang' owner. honestly though, rich dudes gotta quit lettin there squattin adult children take there cars out on saturdays!

Owning a Mustang makes you rich? :D

Though I agree with you on the driver's behavior, do you not expect to have people want to race you when you have a CSVT badge on the back of your car?

Yeah my car isnt fast by any means but I will ussually pick on faster car than me. Or something I believe is cloes. But dead stock car I dont worry about. Especially something like 2 rich kids in a termi. So they can beat me, big deal, they have no idea what the hell they have. Eccept for the fact that its a cobra becuase thats what the steering wheel says.lol I used to mess with fast cars back when I had the focus just so I could see it go fast and hear it. And because I wanted whatever I revved at.lol

Nah I think you are looking at it wrong. Like you even said, he knew it was an SVT the "faster" ones and he wanted to race. If it were me I would have paced you for a few seconds and if you don't bite I will drive on. I tried to get a Cobalt SS to run me but he smiled and shook his head no and I drove off.

The guy hit the "money" with you because you have nitrous and it was a good race. I get how they could be jackasses though. Either way nice run!

i always give ANY SVT owner a thumbs up, and a smile, no matter what gender, what race, what SVT it is your driving, if yoru driving a SVT, you get the thumbs up from me.

Some people just can't drive a car like the '03/'04 Cobra w/ out flooring it ALL THE TIME! Or they just try to race everything & anything... I say cruising beats flooring it because you don't have to worry about getting pulled over! Now taking it to the track is a completely different story! :rolling:

I'm glad my cars look too fast for people to do that shit to me anymore, because it gets really annoying day in and day out just driving from point A to point B.

However, my dad has a VERY fast stockish looking 5.0 vert, save for 17" wheels large brakes and flared and rolled front fenders, (which aren't really noticeable to a rookie), I get picked on in it often...

... couple years back, I had this one girl in a stock 2000ish GT try to race me while I was just cruisin, I shook my head no twice, but after she kept getting on it and slowing down, I grabbed second and white smoked the tires from about 40-70 and hit about 130 and let out in about 6-7 seconds or so... (600+ rw still untuned). She drove up next to me at the next light and had this look on her face like what the hell just happened... I yelled at her "told you" and she turned off like a punk bitch.:lol:

The VORTECH license plate frame now on the car seems to warn a lot of wannabe's...:beer:
