Actually, on Mustangforums.com there is a long-going thread about how the S197's seem to be an A*$-Hole Magnet.

I mentioned that most people that try to provoke me are people in cars like Sunfires, Sebrings, Minivans, and the occasional rice rocket. I think they are really just trying to get us to crack the whip a bit, and cut the car loose, knowing full well that if you made the effort, they'd get smoked.

I have only really fooled around with some guys out on like the 407 who had Magnum SXT's or 3 series BMWs or Audi A4 sedans that thought their car was as fast or agile as mine...Ummm, I can wait until my car hits 120mph before shifting to 5th...I don't know why they bother. Likely the same thing...they like the car, and want me to "give-er" for them. I think what stuns people on the highway is how actually nimble the car is capable of being, even bone stock.

I don't mess around with my car where I live though, as for a long time I had the ONLY black GT coupe in town, so it would be easy to be "marked" by naggy civies or the cops. Also, I have nothing to prove anyways. I know full well that my car will eat a majority of cars out there stock for stock, and that yes, there are some cars out there that will eat mine, in turn.

Still, cool story Steve...
