When will these guys learn that a loud exhaust does not mean you are fast?

So I was on my way to work traveling a little faster than everyone else just to get to work on time when I start to come up on an older black 5.0 mustang. As I'm coming up next to him, I see him looking at me in his rearview mirror but I pass him and think nothing of it. Once I passed him he must have seen the 325is badge and decided to match my speed. I look over at him and he nods his head like "whats up?" so I do the same and he floors it. I was in 3rd at around 3K rpm which wasnt all that great but I gunned it anyway. The guy's car was loud and I thought he was going to leave me behind since I wasnt in the power band yet but we stayed even until about 4500 rpm and I started to leave him. We came up to a light pretty quick and made a u-turn since I missed my turn. So he follows and we line up again...this time I'm in 2nd and in the power band. I give him the signal to go and he takes it. I go shortly after him and catch up then leave him behind easy and am able to stop in time to make my turn. He follows me but stays waaaaay back. Too bad, I was hoping he'd be a good sport and at least give a thumbs up or something. Oh well, it was fun.

Cool, you still have your 325 badge? Wicked... :devillook

Yeah still got it. I'll remove it when I get my car repainted.

how much did you pay for your engine transplant.

i think you should leave the badge...or put a 318is badge on

The motor plus labor was $7000.

I like the clean debadged look rather than the 325is badge on there.

Like always. Great job!

I'd put the 330 badge on it. Some folks will think you're a ricer putting fake badges on your car. That's when you'll proceed to beat their ass.

Thanks Dan.

I'm just going to keep all the badges off. Like I said, I like the clean debadged look.

your car would look realll nice with shaved handles too

Ya Quest, many Mustang 5.0 owners think that since their cars sound like thunder with their loud ass exhausts that their cars are fast. :rolleyes: Good job on puttin the smoke on him too. :laugh

I was thinking about that johnny but my car is old and I'd hate for something to go out on it that involves the locking on the car and then I wouldnt be able to get in and out of the car.

Thanks Justin. I know what you mean.

Ofcourse. That is what I am going to do

Nice kill, Joe! Debadged is the way I would go, too, let them wonder... :evil2

Also, some 5.0's are loud and raucous cuz the owners like them that way, that engine can sound damn mean/cool with the right exhaust system...

Sick, you put some damn salt on that wound ;)

Thanks Dave. Yeah I've heard some mean ass 5.0s before...this one was just dirty loud.
