Default How do I make them stop?

Little rant...
About the 6th time this has happened since I got my GT a couple pof months ago. Some guy in a totally crappy car comes up and starts ****ing with me (I'm half asleep and on my way to work driving like a normal person). Today some guy in a very old Nissan 4 door, tailgating, etc etc. I had to stop for a school bus and from behind me I hear screeching tires. He almost nailed me. At the next stop light I leave normally, he is behind me and burns out (luckily for him the road was wet) and he keeps ****ing around. A truck was turning left so I had to slow again, he almost nails me again (had to lock up his brakes). So I pull over to just let the *** go by so he doesn't total my Stang, he rides by flipping me off and cuts back in so close he nearly took the LF fender off and he speeds away. Does he think he won a race or something??
I have to say I used to drive an 05 STi and all the import guys stayed away from me, used to get the odd ********, but the Stang draws out way more.
What is it about the new Mustang that pisses these guys off so much??
This isn't just a rice thing either... the most beat to sh*t Chevy pick ups do the same thing.

WTF?

Cuz everybody wants to beat a mustang.....just the way it is. I usually ride about 3 cars back from most people so I can make the idiots behind me slow down sooner. Heres how I got most peolpe to quit tryin to race, I got 2 chamber flowmasters (40 series).....thats all it took. When I had the stock muffs on, people would wanna race me all the time, after flows hardly any. They hear the car, and think twice about fu..in w/ me. Now only custom/modded cars wanna race, which is far and few between.

Yeah iv never had that problem nobody wants to race. I pull up to older GTs all the time and they just back off. the only time i get to race is at the track and thats not very often. Of course iv got Twister Exhaust dumpd before the axle so when people see my car there are no pipes out the back... looks really good and sounds even better.

I even got rear-ended on my 5th month anniversary of owning the car! I was starting to think that I was a personal rice/crap/idiot magnet!
