I was driving mine the other day top down arm out the window with my wife riding shotgun on the highway going 68 mph. Guy in a cobb tuning wrx (based on stickers) passes me. Slows down and then speeds up. Then drops beside me and starts the hit and let off routine. Blow off valve whooshing every time. I am in my saleen s281sc (tiny roots blower on a 2v with 3.08 gears) so i ask my wife politely if i can embarrass him. She nods approval. I kept my left arm on the window and calmly downshifted to 4th from 5th with my right hand as he was downshifting and taking off. He had half a car on me when i started but within half a second i was pulling him like he was tied to a post. I shifted back to 5th at about 130 mph and slowed back to 80 with him nowhere near. He tried again. Stupid kid. Same result but i did not slow until about 140 to prove he was not gaining on me and i could keep going.
It happens everytime i am in a mustang. Cobra or saleen or any others i have had. Maybe they all know we as mustang owners will play given enough antagonizing because we are performance enthusiasts at heart. Even when we are just cruising on the highway minding our own business at or near the speed limit they know we are only moments from 150mph.
