It will probably take more than some clever comeback to remove him from the ego maniacal realm in which he resides. When people start talking trash around here it is time to throw on the Mickey Thompsons and head to the Motor-Plex. 99% of the time the sh*t talkers don't even show up, which solidifies the conclusion that they are simply talking trash in order to make themselves feel better (or to impress their friends). Most sh*t talkers have little to no automotive knowledge and are arguing because it is all they can do.

Well, you might hear from several forum members.

We have one member called z0sick (avatar) and on a license plate, along with ten (10) other members with a derivative of z0sick.

I don't think you will need a flame suit, but you may receive a comment or two.

Have a nice day.

Unless you're both willing to take it to a track, I would say let it go. Trying to compare a Mustang to a Vette has been done for a long time, and we all know the result. Just because he wants to puff himself up, don't play his game. Whatever you do, keep your head - no street racing.

Most insults are a form of flattery. They are so jealous of you because you have a Vette, and they don't. I take this stuff as a compliment, and laugh it off. If a Mustang was so good, why would it bother them that you have a Vette? Does it bother you, that they drive a Mustang? Would you rather trade your vette for a Mustang?

Take it to the track, and end the conversation. Eating dust has a way of making people shut up.

Hand them you last time slip. Tell them to come back when they can match it. If they persist go to the track. After a few tail whoopins they will shut up, probably sell the mustang and buy a Vette.

Well guys that's not what he asked for.........

I usually refer to them as "Rust-Stains" or "Puss-Stains" as everyone knows on a crisp clear night you can hear them rust. Tell them how "fat" their car is and come talk to you when they shave 500+ lbs off their car, and why are they trying to compare your car to theirs anyway? They are clearly in 2 different classes.
But at least compliment them on not owning "rice"

OK, I get your point.

Tell them it's a nice car considering it is a Ford Falcon with a different body. True. The first Mustangs were Ford Falcons ( little 6 cyl econo cars) with a different body on it ( Mustang body). The first Mustangs had 6 cyl engines ( actually like the Vettes, but don't say that ).

Or, ask them if they need a tetanus shot to ride in their car, with all the "rust " on it.

Ask if their 0 to 60 time is seconds, or minutes.

Tell them you prefer a vette because it only seats two "people", not 4 "a**holes", like a Mustang.

Does that work for ya?


BTW, I forgot to add. My son goes to college at Elon University in NC. Last time I was down there to get him set up at school, I was heading back to my hotel in the Vette, and got stuck in traffic in Burlington. Some moron in an F350 truck pulled up next to me, and was power braking ,smoking his rear tires while STUCK IN TRAFFIC. Unbelieveable. How many ways can you say "STUPID"? All I could do was laugh. His other vehicle was probably a Mustang.

real cars don't have back seats...

i have a srt turbo neon guy that has all kids of crap done to his car, that has been talking trash for a few months now. I always tell him to meet me at the track and we can see what happens, or tell him
that real cars don't have a back seat.
or what are these other 2 doors for?
or no matter what you do to that car, it is still a neon.

no race yet, just excuses...
