[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 10414128, member: 20202"] What you are dealing with regarding to your friends is one of "ego", "status" and "perception". To be honest I would not have it any other way :-D It has been my experience not to try to defend your car. Just let them have their fun while boosting their ego's mocking the "little guy and his Mustang" :nonono: It is best just to smile, maintain your composure and say nothing. Then add icing to the cake and compliment their expensive hardware, ask questions and [U]say nothing about yours![/U] (if they ask make it short, be vague and quickly change the subject). In my motorcycle racing days the guy I'm always leery about is the guy that keeps his mouth shut. The one who spout off about how fast they are or how great their machine is rarely turns out that way. In your case if your modest, your car is low key but has a Whipple/KB or even worse; a "Turbo" lurking under the hood your friends are in for a rude awakening :uh oh: Especially after mocking your mass produced 7 year old $34,000 Ford Mustang. Some guys go for the loud exhaust "throw them a rev look at ME" type road confrontation. But a low key Terminator that holds "lots of secrets" will have an aura surrounding it that tends to make owners of expensive “snobmobile’s" nervous at a light :poke: It's called setting them up for "the big fall" and it sends their ego crashing down with them :fart: Once you put a few bus lengths on them they will be in a state of denial and just dismiss your car as a dragster which is where a well sorted chassis comes into play (keep that IRS out back for just such an occasion). After that you will find it tends to shut them up and you they no longer discuss your Mustang anymore and prefer you take it elsewhere :-D Terminator: has it's flaws but there is no other car I would rather own :banana: [/QUOTE]
