Sent this to all of my Ford buddies. They were not amused.

Correct. He revs and surges forward. Repeats it twice. I, meanwhile, am on a hands-free business call. I wanted very much to have a sign to deploy. Something like this:



Do I have a lot of this to look forward to? I'm not a Chevy/GM/Ford/Mopar/whatever guy. I have no dog in the fight. I'm just a car guy who likes track days and comfortable road trips.

Yes sir,... I have found that you're gonna attract every challenger, and mustang that sees your car when they see it's a ZL1. I've been challenged by BMW's, Mini cooper's...yes, and recently by an Aventador. I didn't f with the Aventador.

I agree that's a battle you don't want to get into with the Aventador. I had a kid in a Mustang 5.0 revving his engine at me. I don't street race. I love it while on the freeway and you glance in your rear view mirror and see a car speeding up towards you to see WTF kinda Camaro is that?

What is with the Mini Coopers? They are always trying to mess with me. The S models think they are so fast.

This weekend I had a Nissan GTR tailgating me badly on the interstate.The guy would not leave me alone. I thought WTH and rolled into a clean lane and stood on it hoping to create some space. To my surprise I pulled him. I lifted and he quickly caught up.... same story he was again on my rear. So I did it again with the same result. Honestly I was shocked that I could pull him twice and both times I know he was trying. I know the GTR is faster in the 1/4 mile than a ZL1 but are they not as strong at highway speeds? Maybe it was an earlier lower HP GTR? It was still was cool to see Godzilla get smaller in my mirror.

When you said that I remembered I shot some photos of it from the LA auto show. I bet you'd like to get into this particular Aventador?

Yeah, I don't get it either, but they are always zoomin up beside me tryin to get under my skin. They have short hoods and are tiny, so from the inside they probably think they're haulin ass. That is until they see real power.

Interesting. I've have not had a single nibble since picking up my 14 GT500 2 months ago.
