So I pull up to a red light next to a Mini Cooper S.... he starts reving...
light turns green and he just goes all out slammin through those tiny gears.
I guess he thought I was racing him. Then we come to the 2nd light and he
repeats the same thing again, Im tryin to save gas and more or less
ignoring his violent actions. Well we come to light # 3 and Im getting
sick of him at this point so I decided to blow out the carbon deposits out
of my engine. Needless to say I went out 2 car lenghts ahead by the time
I got to 20mph and shut down only to see him shoot by like a bottle rocket. And my car is slow. I just couldnt resist. Sorry.

I've done something similar to a new VW bettle. In that case, I squashed a bug.

Granted it may be a chick car, but taking turns at twice the speed any relatively stock Mustang can handle is quite fun...

I thought it was funny on street tuner challenge when they completly rebuilt the motor on one with custome intake plenum, forged internals and new turbo, whole nine yards. They gained like 23 horse power $8000 -$10000 easy in engine mods for 23 horses

HAHA Thats funny I did the same thing with a black Turbo Civic today. He kept reving and taking off and his blow off valve was loud as hell. I kept shaking my head no. Finally I said F-it and hit it from a 10mph roll with him two car ahead of me. Laid about 30ft of rubber and let off with me 5-6 cars ahead at 50mph. He pulled up and just had the most shocked look on his face like he didn't even know what the hell just happened.

MY brother in-law, who is like 6ft 4 about 250lbs, drives one. He lives in Leesburg Va and has dumped a wad of cash into his to get as much power as he can squeeze out of that little turbo charged 4 banger and my wifes GT can still out run him. Sorry, I just don't get it. Why not start out with something with a little more potential.
OH and I had a guy in a tubo bug try to take me on in my Lightning, had to show him my tail lights PDQ. WTF
