Heres the deal: I have one of those "friend of a friend" friends that says he has a 99" taurus SHO. He says it has a CAI, 80mm MAF,performance tires, Flowmaster mufflers, and a spoiler on the back(he seemed quite proud of the spoiler). He started talking smack about me while I was in the other room on the computer looking at mustangs on Youtube. I guess from what other people siad, when he heard the sound from the computer, he said somehting to the extent of "Mustangs..... they don't impress me, I eat them fro breakfast". Now nobody thought that maybe they should come and get me so I could talk to him and see what he meant. But No, they let him tlak and talk and talk. Supposedly, he said that he knows this because he raced a mustang gt (didn't know what year it was... didn't even have a clue) that had a CAI and aftermarket exhaust. He LOST the race, by a car length, but supposedly that is what he thinks "eating for breakfast" is.

So, my friend who was with me, told me this when we left. So, being the big A##hole I am, I turned around and made sure he heard me coming back. When I got there, not only did he go into the other room and "talk on his phone, because he is having problems with his g/f", but once we left again, he talked trash about how he knows everything about mustangs and cars in general, and that I was lucky to have parents to buy me a mustang GT. I think that because I was wearing professional clothes (just got off work) He thought that I was spoiled or something. This guy was quite the idiot, ya know the kind you wish you had a big hudge "IDIOT" stamp you could put on thier forehead to warn others. Tnanks for letting me rant about this moron.

P.S. BTW he said he wanted to race because he almost beat a mustang gt, so obvioulsy, in his screwed up little head, that means I'm fair game. :Track: I think I should race him, and when I win, piss all over his winshield, and smear fecal matter on his hood.

There is no point in racing a moron, and odds are everyone else feels the same way you do and is just envious he doesn't have one.

99 sho isn't that fast to begin with, and he has very few mods. Hypothetically, if you raced him, you should blow his doors off.

If it makes you feel better by beating a taurus, go for it.

They switched in the mid 90's to a super small V8, it was like a 3.8 liter or something like that..... it's really not a matter of winning (thats without a doubt) I was just getting it off my chest.

The Mustang is the yardstick by which all others measure themselves. Sometimes its painful being the yardstick

the problem that he is probably having with his girlfriend is that she is cheating on him with someone that drives a mustang...so he his tring to get some of his pride back by talking trash. and if he is admiting to being beat hes not even good at that...so dont waste your gas or your time...just picture his girlfriend bent over the hood of a gt somewhere and smile.

HAHA, I love people like this...ask him to make a lil wager on the event then find yourself suddenly richer. I know most people who are car people have at least seen one episode of PINKS... sandbag him a lil then completely waste him, I think it would be fun, but ima ******* like that

I say run him and shut him up for good, although they are quick little V8's they arent even comparible to a stang, you'll blow him away off the line and walk away on the top end, the only place these cars shine is on the top end and in the twisty's. they are not a quarter-mile car at all. Hopefully when you race him he suffers cam faluire That will show him not to beat on a SHO.

I like your way of thinking...... Maybe I'll ask him to bring her, and after I win I'll PIITB because he'll still be trying to finish the race.
