Well I am very new to the scene of Mustangs and so forth...I just recently purchased my 98 GT with 29000 mi. Everybody and there mom wants to race. Everything from a 89 cutlass supreme-to a Ferrari. I have had to defend my cars honor many a time against SUV's...what is the deal? Don't people know that what they are driving isn't always going to beat somebody elses car. Granted my car is Stock, but a 89 Cutlass/Rodeos is there any meaning to this madness!!!Now on the other hand, not a day goes by that I get a mustang or three that wants to race, come on guys...I am bone stock, why would you want to waste your gas on racing a stock GT when you already know it is in the bag. Or should I be looking at it from a different angle. What I am getting at, is I don't waste time pulling up next to Vette's and so forth, cause I am confident in the outcome. I still have my pinstripping on. Pathetic right? I am just looking for some guidance from you veteran Mustang drivers. Thanks!
