Brother please don't get it twisted. I don't blame the hunk of metal on the road by any means. I do blame the driver inside. All I'm saying is, the car does tend to attract a certain type. I never came across a Z33 dbag but I have met some G35 dbags and I used to own one of those as well as G37. I really don't like the G37 crowd. They are way different from the G35 crowd. It doesn't mean I hate G37's. I went to the Z because I hadn't owned a 2 seater in a decade. I wanted one again. You feel more connected to the road. The Z crowd is a mixed bag too. Plenty of Aholes in our thing. But, I'm not talking about our thing now. We are talking about the outsiders. You know... "your people". Lol.:stirthepot: :happydance:

You have to admit there's always a bit of personal bias that plays a role in how you view certain drivers in certain cars... we're all guilty of that. ;)

Is it sad that midnight purple pearl is my favorite paint for cars? it looks good on EVERYTHING!

My best friend drives a 2012 Mustang GT and he's one of the biggest douches on the road i know, but he drove like that when he was in a Pontiac Boneville too.

I will definitely agree the the behavior is the result of the driver and not the car being driven, but that being said it seems like the Mustang is a very popular car of choice for that type of driver.

Ford has done an outstanding job with the new Mustangs. I really like them, but they aren't sports cars, and they certainly aren't exclusive.

They are a different car for a different segment of the market.

The only time I have ever had Mustang envy was yesterday. I saw an early Shelby GT-500 and a '71 Mach 1 traveling down the highway. Both were beautiful cars.

That's the point of my post. I was out driving enjoying the day and my Z.
when this guy wanted to get into a xick measuring contest on a crowded
interstate. and he's going off blowing his horn reving up and doing fly bys
acting like king mustang. i realize you can't blame the car. but it just seems for me its always beat up mustangs or toothless hillbillies in ford f150's
with 22in rims wanting to jack with you.

"anyone ever heard,"how fast you had it up to" or whats on the speedo"
like that makes a difference. heck my wifes rogue has a 120 on it and i doubt
it would reach the 90 mph mark.

Awesome.

Well if that's what happened there is no denying that particular guy was a douche. Honestly, I don't know how much different things are for you guys in Texas... I was there once and vowed never to come back. :p

i grew up in texas and i dont drive a redneck car, while you grew up uptown somewhere hip and drive a redneck car. you must have texas envy. :icon17:

and yes, i also like chilli. :yum:

Who doesn't?

You're a redneck asian anyways, Ken. You and your charburger grease. :p

:icon18: i knowz...

This site is more biased than Appleinsider.


Disclaimer: while my opinions are based on years running a business in the car scene, interacting with enthusiasts in more than one state, and having owned a ****-t0n of cars, they are probably almost as wrong as yours

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your American cars and I realized that they're not actually sports cars. Every sports car on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but your Mustangs do not. They move to an area and they multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way they can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Mustangs are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and Z's are the cure.

SPOILER ALERT: At the end of the movie, the Mustang is ACTUALLY THE Z's ALTER-EGO

good job guys. :tup:

Great read... lol I have to agree with everyone else.. Some of you may know this,

fuckin mustang...

If you dont have time to watch the entire thing at least watch the last 30 seconds...

I haven't gotten any Mustang guys envy yet. I do get alot of Ferrari and Lambo guys envying my car though. Those guys are probably wondering why they spent sooo much money on a car when they could have just bought a 370Z for a tenth of the price with the same great looks and slightly less performance. 370Z FTW! Greatest car ever!

I get more normal cars riding my *** while cruising next to vettes, boss stangs and other performance cars on the road. Not even the ricers hassle me. It's always minivans or econoboxes in a rush or 3 series that do that to every car on the road, not to me in particular because I'm in a Z. I am in socal though where nice cars in general are a dime a dozen. Still don't see many 370s around though, which is nice.

everyone I've know who drives a mustang (with a few exceptions) has been a chode

My cousin has a maxima SV. I drove em... I know. And I owned an altima SE which honestly, packs a little more punch at a perfect weight of 3200lbs flat. But that's another story. The answers on M4's list was mostly entertainment anyway. He made a list and I stereotyped mainly out of fun. Take a chill pill red. Lol

What does the mustang being a sports car or not have to do with the thread itself? And FYI. Muscle cars were derived for a specified type of sport driving. GT's are sports cars as well. They just aren't dedicated sports cars. Don't get the two confused. Non-dedicated doesn't necessarily mean "not real". And if you think I'm lying? Go around the track with a BOSS302 and see if you still want to make generic presumptions on GT capability.

LOL! Don't forget STS owners!

you forgot the 300C R/T and SRT8 owners.. I have to say they are by far the worst.

STS??? What's an STS??? Lmfao:
:roflpuke2:

Cadillac! I had one almost run me off the road today. Bastages!!!

Lol... I know what an STS is... I just jokingly said that as a way of giving them absolutely no love and respect in the enthusiast world. Yeah sts guys are douchey. Lol

the 5.0 GT seems to be a winner, a really good car, it's just not my cup of tea. I would take it over a Camaro or Challenger/Charger though.

Mustang envy???? I was unaware those two words could be paired together.

Well it is like say....Fast Camaro or Lightweight Challenger. :stirthepot:

/\ fixed for accuracy. :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

IF we are going to generalize, though....

3 series drivers (particularly the lower models, 328s, etc.) are often major douches with something to prove (M3 drivers have a truly capable car and much less to prove)

next is guys in big trucks, especially raised ones

then we have any mid or full-sized sedan that has blacked out widows, is slammed, has dubs and lots of chrome

based off of stereotype (but not form experience because I don't see too many of them) would be Challengers/Chargers next

followed by Camaros (also based more on stereotypes and general car image)

followed by mustangs, though you experience it more with stangs because there are just so many of them around (ditto the stereotype/car image disclaimer)

riced up civics with fart cans are tied with the above mentioned american makes

then we have Prius drivers who like to drive slow and MPG friendly, but change lanes and merge as if they are driving the same speed as everyone else

so there are my GENERALIZATIONS if we are going there

I will have to say though, it feels like a good 30% (which is pretty freaking high in real world terms) of 3 series drivers piss me off

Audi is coming up fats though in popularity as the hip luxury car so maybe BMW will drop out of the king of douchery spot in the coming decade

"riced up civics with fart cans" LMFAO!! :bowrofl:

/\ around these parts it's a two way tie. And I disagree about the M3 drivers, at least around here, almost all of them are douchebags that want everyone to know they can afford $$$ car and if their lives go to plan, the next step up will be a Porsche.

The real problem is so may folks nowadays are too concerned with the "status" that (insert car here) supposedly gives them, and not concerned enough wiht the joy and pleasure of owning said car. Too much trying to impress the Joneses and not enough taking your sports car to HPDEs and mountian cruises etc and enjoying life. (rant over).

ps--I can't stand shallow mutherfuckers. :shakes head:

This might be actually the realest words spoken here.

:tup:

I wouldn't trade my Z for anything! I even went and looked at XKRs. M3s, etc. My wife has her 80k+ SUV and my Z is more babied than that!
