The problem being...there are an awful lot of bad drivers out there

Do you ever notice that anyone who drives faster than you is a manic and anyone who drives slower than you is an idiot? - George Carlin.

Can't argue with that statement

I have almost 500 rear wheel horses

What engine do you have providing close to 500 hp at the rear wheel? I had a friend with a 455 bored to 468 with a tunnel ram and two Holley 850 carbs, Roller heads and mild cam burning CAM2. The engine produces 750hp. Minus about 20% hp at the rear wheel=600hp. This car was 8.90 (150mph) through the traps in the quarter mile. The engine was not on the bottle.

Sounds like Thunderbird 1 to me

It's a bad day for tailgators if they ride my arse when I'm in a bad mood. I've even pullled a few stunts. One night a car was riding on my back bumper why I was doing the speed limit. I gave him the taps on the break causing him a lil fear, but he kept on, then started beeping and flashing.
I finally slammed on breaks, making him have to slam. I got out of the car and started heading towards his car, when I saw it was a young teen girl.

Guess lucky for me, been a guy no telling what would've happened.

What I hate worse is people that force you over to get in your lane ahead of you.

You won't believe that I'm squeezing that kind of HP out of a 4.0L v6. I was also surprised to find out that those engines are rated to 450hp as they sit in those Mustangs stock. Ford would've been smart to have the supercharger as an option.

I've got an intercooled Vortech supercharger pushing 18PSI of boost, strengthened pistons, a new cam, some stronger valves, and an 8.8 rear end

The entire project cost me less than 5K, but I still had to work 3 jobs to get it.

The 4.0? I think the 4.0 Vortech HO stage rates to 330hp. Still respectable and will leave a lasting impression on your arse when floored. The 4.6 to 5.0 can get 400+++. My Lincoln with the 4.6 was stock 275hp. Did they dyno the car after the parts were hung on the engine?

That is the STANDARD kit they sell... I bought the duct work and pulleys, then bought a blower bigger than standard... And, of course, the 40lb fuel injectors it came with

Oh - if a teenager is tailgating me - no holding back. Most of them know me and are jealous of my car (to that I say to them, get a J.O.B), and tailgate/drive 20 below the speed limit to piss me off.

I think I'll start letting them follow me to the police.
