He speaks the truth. Whenever some ricer or douchecanoe in a V6 Mustang or whatever starts pacing me and I'm not in the mood, I just put the clutch in, give it a good rev and let the BOV off. They usually back off after that.

By the way, when filming the movie "Bullitt," the Charger ran circles around the Mustang. They had to put skinny underrated tires on it to slow it down.

I dont think the person who posted that really thought the car was slow.

You're right. Gforce957, I apologize. I'm just a classic MOPAR guy who overreacted. Hope your 'Stang comes out OK.

A good drop of a gear and a quick tap of the gas pedal that lets them hear my baby scream-powered engine makes most give up hope.

MOPAR knows what they are doing, I have to admit. As much as I love Ford. But the new Bullitt is pure sex. I have seen one in person and it is a machine of beauty.

Re: An Introduction and noob question

I was close to buying a new Bullitt... very close. I love that car with a passion.

Just, the utility of 4-doors is sooo much more easier to live with on a daily basis... the G8 made more sense. But, I drive past the Ford dearlership everyday and I see them... and I weep inside.

Re: An Introduction and noob question

that green is enough to make me want it. machined dash, performance exhaust, LSD... wow. just a bundle of sexy.

Yeah, the 2-door aspect sucks pretty bad sometimes. I have yet to own a 4 door, or even a hatch. Inconvenience FTW!
