Challenged at the stop lights

[VaderMachE]

I'd probably laugh?. Now, if I was the only one in the car, once the light changes, shoot out like the rocket that these cars are. I've not seen many Mustang drivers able to not smoke tires from a get. He may catch up after a bit, but the first few hundred feet, he'll be doing the WTF! ?

So did you give him a show when it turned green?

Tonight I was at the stop lights with my family and straight on the other side of me is an ICE Mustang. Once he saw that I noticed him, he revved up his engine.

What am I supposed to do here? Roll down my window and yell "VROOM! VROOM!"?

The protocol for EVs in a stoplight challenge is the aggressively activate the windshield wipers to maximum speed but in a sequence of 1 pass...stop...2 passes...stop then a final 3 passes to show that you mean business. This is our revving ritual ?

Like, leaving one in the dust

Personally I don't engage anyone these days, never know who or what you are dealing with.

tbh getting engaged to multiple people at the same time is just going to end up making everyone hurt. and that's a lot of expensive rings.

Some people would argue the Bearcat was. It just arrived too late to see any action.

Due to contracts, the original engine in the P-51 was a General Motors (Allison) engine, even though the designers wanted the Rolls-Royce Merlin. The P-51’s Merlin engine was later built under license from Rolls-Royce by another GM division (Packard).

North American Aviation was founded by German refugees who fled the fascist Nazis. It was later absorbed into GM. I just love the irony of a machine designed by refugees from the Nazis being the first fighter that could effectively escort bombers from England to Berlin.

Oh yes, definitely the Merlin engine is what made the P-51 great. I don't know much about the bearcat, but there were P-51's credited with downing ME-262 jets - which is good enough for me to call it "the best"

And it was remarkably fortuitous that the nazis forced many of their best engineers and physicists out of germany before the war.

Look over, smile, give him the “wassup bruh” head nod, give him the thumbs-up.

Followed by leaving him in the dust when the light changes!

This is the EV stop light Grands Prix conundrum. There is nothing you can do but nod or thumbs up or whatever. Instant torque is the upside, silence or scree is the downside.

for me an Upside!

No noise pollution or cops turning their heads. Don't need to be noisy to be quick. That's part of the EV's mystic.

Reading this makes me really want my GT. Guess I’m off to the grumpy thread

 

[Tampamike]

Might I suggest a sly head nod, and a thumbs up followed by the two upright fingers run ‘em up signal”

 

[Carsinmyblood]

I was originally thinking tie fighters in the past but this is even better!

Better.....JETSONS!

BBBRRRReeeeeeeeeeee

I wish the car played the sound from Nightrider with the lights.

My fav is the start to the Jim Morrison song, LA Woman.
