I completely understand and agree with all this talk about being safe during these winter months, as road conditions are dangerous in many areas. However I’m at a point in my life where I know better but half the time I find myself not following the course of wisdom.
Case in point: While driving the 968 home from B-more yesterday I came a across a challenger in a burgundy Mustang. XL wing, flames on the side, racing stripe down the middle, tinted windows, rims etc. This Clown, after entering the HWY aggressively jumped over all 3 lanes and started riding my bumper at speeds of 75mph.
We all know what the mature and responsible thing to do is but be honest, what would you do?
note: That seemingly heavy traffic is do to the frequent on ramps. It cleared up in about a mile.
PS- As I knew what I had to do I pulled out my cam phone and took this goodbye shot from my r-view!
Behold the clown
OMG. Just started reading the Galva story. That was not what I was referring to when I said all this talk about safe driving.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Nope, not sure. I was able to hear him get on it as traffic cleared up. Thing is, all mustangs carry a grunt at WOT. i know the V8 is noticeably louder but I couldnt tell from my position.
[quote name='BigHat' post='44445' date='Dec 8 2007, 08:02 AM']My 99 GT Mustang Convertible with its 4.6 V8 sure seems faster than my 968, but from 60 to 120 the 968 is much more fun to drive.[/quote]
Do you find that the pull of the mustang fades after as you climb over 100?
