I'll give it to you that we all make generalizations... rationally or not. And most of the time they are driven by conscious or subconscious biases.

I will say that I get harassed by 350Zs a lot... but I try to avoid generalizing the car and its drivers because it's a lot like blaming a deadly shooting on the gun. Did the gun kill the victim? No, the criminal that shot the gun did... And whether some young douchebag with enough money to buy a used sports car chooses to be a douche in a Z or a Mustang is really up to chance.

The fact is I encounter douchebag drivers on a daily basis, and sometimes they are in a Z, sometimes a Mustang, BMW, etc... but a douchebag is a douchebag and it doesn't matter what car they drive. If a douchebag Mustang driver traded his car in on a Z that's not going to change how he drives... however it might change how he is perceived by his own kind... just sayin'.

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.

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.

Oh, and I gave a 370Z driver a thumbs up once and he flipped me the bird. Not the car's fault some idiot decided to buy it and parade his douchey *** around town in it all day.

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.

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.

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.

All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I turn like you wanna turn, I am fast, capable, and most importantly, I am torquey in all the ways that you are not. --5.Durden

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