Revving at other stangs

I only do a friendly rev at other cars if they do it first. Majority of the mustangs guys around here are a bunch of tools and really have no clue about their cars in general. The fbody and c5 vette guys on the other hand are some of the nicest people I have met. 9 times out of 10 its one of these cars giving me friendly rev.

i always rev too i think its a southern thing, i do it because i like hearing the sound of other peoples cars rev back and it lets you know if its stock or not

Thats funny you say that, everyone thinks the 99-04's are slow.

When i pull into a gas station i always get "wow that sounds nice, how'd you make it sound like a 5.0"
"What motor does this have" 4.6 "Ahh that sucks, why didn't you get the v8?"
Let me just say that I'm talking TO OTHER MUSTANG DRIVERS during these conversations.

If i can recite every mustang motor and hp number from 1964-2007 why can't they at least know that 260hp>215-225hp (even though the quoted number is 225 its documented that they(fox 5.0's) left the factory officially rated at 215, i dont know what they actually dyno at)

ahh well. 5.0 guys will rev and look smug, then i'll rev and they'll kinda looked shocked, mouth open eyes wide, then they look away quickly and drive off. Once in a while with an older 5.0 driver i'll get a thumbs up and a big smile.
T/A's and F-body's give me crazy respect and i'm constantly being revved by at them (most of the drivers are 20-30). Its hard to rev an auto quickly so i'll either wave or quickly drop into N to give a quick rev.
As for every other mustang drivers.. ... Well if their car isn't falling to pieces or being driven by a 40+ year old then its being driven by a 16 year old. They always want to race and i don't oblige. They don't rev, they dont wave, they dont acknowledge your presence. I think alot of the 16yo mustang drivers are fairly afraid.

It's also a general rule not to look at someone, or even smile when next to someone at a red light, there are alot of questionable people living here, and I've had a gun pointed at me because me and a friend were laughing at a stop light about what his g/f said the night before... About 7 25yo guys in a 5 seater olds beside us...Guy beside says "You think somethings funny, gotta problem with my car, think my spinner caps aren't tight enough yo" and then he pulled a gun and we took off, unfortunately we were in my friends hyundai 1.3L (or something) Scoupe... luckily his Scoupe is turbocharged and modded. We ended up getting away by out handling them in some residential areas. So i've learned to not acknowledge most other people while im driving.

This is one reason I like where i live. In canada we don't hear of this happening at all. Well atleast I haven't. I like the small town scene anyways away from crazy's like that.

If someone actually DOES rev at me...that means go time for a little bit of racing! It very rarely happens around here though because most of the females that own Mustangs in this area are younger and their mommy/daddy just bought it for them as a graduation present or something. You'd think most people would be able to tell from my exhaust that I'm not one of them, but it's still hard to get anyone to play when you're a female driver.

I always try to give at least a smile or nod when I see another one though.

I've always taken it as a sign of racing b/c 90% of the time, immediately after the rev, they are holding rpms.....

revving at anyone is retarted. Just wave or give a head nod

I was just wondering what peoples opinion is on this. If another stang is driving by you, and they give their engine a rev... do you view that as an insult or just a friendly gesture amongst stang owners? I mean, if you see the guy glaring at you and revving his car, then obviously it isn't intended as a friendly gesture, he's just being a jackass.

Reason being, I was slowing down to pull into my lot, and I seen a stang coming up behind me in the lane beside me, so I gave the exhaust a blip and the ****er gave me the finger!! Personally I like hearing other stangs exhaust and like to hear the revs. However, if this guy has stock exhaust he might have felt like I was showing off or boasting that I was better in some way, which wasn't the case.

What do you guys think?
