Seriously, this morning is the third run-in that I've had with GT owners and every one of them were acting like a putz. I'll recap:

About two months ago I am in one of two turning lanes (in the E39) going through our green light when I see a GT vert in front start to romp on it. I finally get through the traffic to catch and play and he bites. He gives it all he can to get away on this straight but he can't shake me. We come up to a right hand turn HOT and I back off some because I know that he wasn't going to make it as fast as he was going and sure enough when he tries to make the turn his azz end comes whipping around to the left, then back right and he flip flops liks this a few times. I make it through the turn with my rear stepping out slightly, but I can easily correct and have to back way off on the throttle as to not plow into the Ford fish flopping out of water. He finally gets it straight again and guns it, but again, he can't lose me (nor could I pass him though). I come up to my turn and wave...he flips me a bird. :confused

About one month ago while on a two lane highway a thug in a GT pulls out in front of me from a stoplight and when I run up close to him he slams on the brakes waving his finger in a no-no fashion! :nono So from there he proceeds to just melt the tires and try to school me and get away. I'm in the E38 with a trunk full of groceries, wife and kid and he tries to pull away, but he can't, plus there's alot of traffic. So the next few miles go like this: he slows way down to let traffic get ahead then stomps it (ooh, I was impressed too!). I just keep a safe distance each time to avoid his idiotic antics but each time he takes off he never pulls away, I'm just maintaining the gap. He'd run up on the azz of a car, then back off again. Finally he pulls off, I wave and he replies with another thug burnout onto his street. :(

This morning (in the E39) another GT flies by to get out of traffic and it just so happens that I had the same idea but had to wait for him to go first, so once he runs by I pull out and catch him. Once again, lots of traffic but he's giving it hell to try and pull away, but no go. It's a two lane divided highway so I manage to end up in front of him as the lane I chose was moving faster so he jumps out to tailgate me so close that I can't even see his headlights. I'm pretty much done fooling around since there's no where to go with all of the traffic but this dude was doing some stupid junk to try and run again. At one point we're in the left lane and come up to a short turn lane that allows U-turns so he weaves over into it like he's going to pass me :shifty but obviously has to get back behind me or eat the concrete median. For about the next mile he's running up on other cars weaving around revving trying to show his and get in front of me. I didn't even bother with a wave this time as this guy is a tool. I really just wanted to roll down the window and ask him why his mighty V8 couldn't lose my puny 6er, but ehh....it's not worth it.

*Bonus* - The GT that I did lose to occured when I came to a complete stop at a light to put the car in first and he was still rolling up when the light changed....real nice!

I'm really beginning to think/experience Mustang drivers are worse than BMW drivers are ever supposed to be.

Good one, better than the one I heard sometime ago. I don't think it's that impressive beating a Mustang.

A 528 (15 second car if lucky) is not faster in any measure of performance; braking, slalom -- and damn sure not acceleration than a Mustang GT from 96 on ...

I've had them as loaners. Very quiet -- and that's about it.

It could have been a poorly driven GT ( burning out, losing traction) and a well driven 528

I agree. It seems like everytime I see ,one while cruising on the freeway, they want to race me. I just don't get it. Every once and a while I humor them and it always ends the same way. Me flying by them and them embarraced so they keep cruising at 90 past me once I've slowed to a reasonable speed.

Welcome to the dirty south. Here is your complamentary Mustang owner to harass you in traffic.

Sorry Southerners, but some of the domestic owners down there make me hate going to visit my sister. Once you hit VA, its like a swarm of loud exhausts buzzing around me begging to race.

In Atlanta, you have alot of loud cars with NY and NJ plates as well.

I used to have alot of run ins with cars (US V8's and rice) with lots of stickers. I liked to play with the ones with stickers. I had a heavily stickered mustang's passenger wave as if they were going to leave me. I saw the puff of black smoke out of the tailpipe. I had to hit the brakes so as not to rear end him once the boost kicked in. (~17psi) I was dissappointed. :)

I never stated that I beat them in the 5, but of the 3 GTs that I've ran with they couldn't dust me off. Perhaps the Dinan mods/5 speed combo help.
I do however think that the 7 would edge them out on the freeway.

They can be pretty swift...Say what you want...I've run a few in my M3 and a few will hang right there with you...Until there is a curve then they back off like someone dropped a boat anchor! In the 535turbo I can run off and leave them standing...old 1987 BMWfour door smokin them must really piss them off!

I borrowed a buddies Cobra a few years ago I think it was a 99, maybe newer, for a DE I instructed at...Needless to say I was horribly unimpressed with it...THEN the next year I rented a V6 auto..And it was more fun to drive than the cobra. I actually got in trouble in the instructor session in the V6 for, and I qoute the cheif instructor... "having to much fun and scaring the corner workers" I was practicing the power slide with it...WHOOO it was a blast!!!

I beat a 99 Cobra pretty bad awhile back. The guy couldn't believe it. Later that week I ran into the modded 03 Cobra that I see around alot (and i kind of know the driver). He was pulling me while leaving two strips of rubber behind him. 03 and 04 Cobras are not to be messed with and they are not some crap car like everyone keeps saying. It might be envy. Because I've seen alot of Mustang lights in my time they are definately cars to be recognized; and I figure that alot of these guys are just mad that their BMW gets beat by cars that they feel are inferior. People seriously need to wake up it is not why are mustang drivers like this. that is stereotyping them all there are the bad bunch in every car group.

Sweet '03 man.

I feel u on the mustang guys, they are kindof retarded.

I remember racing this one green GT, he painted the MUSTANG letters in the bumper red, put this ricey spolier like 3 ft. into the air.

I burned him so bad, and after i stop he trys to go flying by me and turns his e lights on. I HATE people like that

Being an ex stang enthusiast and a beemer convert, I kinda know both sides. True, a lot of "novice" mustang drivers like to bark their flowmasters at everyone, not all are like that. I also meet a lot of beemer drivers who claim that their 325s have smoked recent model cobras. BS flies from any and every direction. Bottom line, IMO, is that mustangs are lame stock. Beemers are great. Hop up a GT (plenty of 12's around) or take a newer cobra and it will serve you. Hop up a Beemer and its a good race. But any idiot with a bone stock 3 series who "claims" to beat a cobra from a dead stop straight line is FOS.

By the way, I do prefer driving beemers than stangs any day. It just seems like a "matured" driver's choice of fast cars.
