You make a good point but I know enough to listen to the others guys' engine and the clunkers usually sound like clunkers, oil smoke or no. A good-running, modified old car (whatever the breed) usually looks and sounds good and that alerts me to the fact that I may get dusted or at least that I shouldn't get too cocky. This is how I manage to win most of the stoplight races I get into. Respect for the other guys car and knowing when to forget it and let him rev and go. Idiots in grocery-getters that try to cut me off or otherwise make driving a chore get blown off immediately, road/weather conditions permitting. I'm an aggressive driver and don't tolerate screwballs messing with me but I'm also not insane.
Sometimes you just gotta let 'em pass but if the situation is safe for speed, I use it.
That's part of the point of having a Mustang.
