Start your run timed so that you catch him about a little after you get to the open lanes. By then you should have at least 20 MPH on him. Swing around blowing by in 2nd with the revs up there and catch 3rd ahead a ways depending. Maybe in the middle of 3rd. What ever works. After having blown his doors off. Just back off. Set the cruise control and enjoy the cruise. Point made. Most likely the little euro car will respond by speeding and driving crazy. So easy those guys.
Street racing is bad enough, but the thought of doing a ricer fly-by in a Mustang?

That's because you aren't smoking bowls and shooting up heroin at the same time like the designers apparently were.

You have to be in their frame of mind to understand the "brilliance" of that front end.
