I raced my Mustang in my 96 Probe GT when it was naturally asperated. I got the jump on him & stayed ahead through 1st & halfway through 2nd, then he flew by me. I didn't care if he beat me or not I loved the way they sounded, I wanted to hear him take off. Later on I bought an 89 Mustang GT & after a while of driving it I found out from one of my friends that I had bought the Mustang that raced me. I usually didn't race v8 cars thinking I could win. I raced them because I love to race win or lose. It made me feel good.

I've only had one Probe rev at me, but when I looked over the guys were laughing in a joking way so you could tell they were just kidding.
I think the newer Cougars may be the new Probes. They are being riced out at an alarming rate and the owners seem to think they've got some serious ***** under the hood there. What's up with that?

[&:] My first car was a 95 Probe GT. It was a nice little car for what it was. I was able to beat my friend's v6 mustang back in the day (probably because he couldn't drive), but they are by no means fast. Of course by the same token I still think that my 2004 GT isn't fast either. I see a lot more people in mustangs that think their car is fast when it isn't than probes At least there are less riced out mustangs. Just the sight of one makes baby jesus cry.
Haha, I agree.

And to think, it was actually going to replace the Mustang....*sigh*

I think probes were cool in their time but compared to these cars now, they have nothing!

Back in the mid 90's I believe Motor Trend declared the Probe to be "Car of the Year." Good Lord.
