It usually goes from, "that's a beautiful car!" to "why didn't you get the V8? I wouldn't drive a car like that with a V6!" or "you should've got a manual." And that's usually when they get into their POS junker. Blah blah blah...

He then told me "I'm pretty sure I can beat it". So I asked "What do you have done to it?" and he answered "Nothing yet".....I giggled and said "How about you come AutoX with me?" He says "I did that once, its stupid" As I walked away I told him "That's because Mustangs suck at it, get a car that can turn and it will be fun"
Even a 4 year old Mustang GT is better at turning corners than that guy is, or likely ever will be. Methinks your response to his dumbness was too kind.

Comparatively, yup, only fractionally better than today's sixxers. But who knows, maybe this is part of the reason there are so many aftermarket forced induction kits.

I have never had any real encounters with people with Challengers until today. My wife and I were out enjoying the warm sunny afternoon with the top down when we pulled up next to a new Challenger that still had dealer tags on it. He had his window down and when we stopped next to him I looked over and said nice car. He then looked down at our car and did something I didn't expect, he gave me the finger! I said what an ahole! He then quickly got into the turn lane and made a right turn and drove off.... What did I do to deserve that?

Maybe it's because they don't make Convertible Challengers.
