Default Mustang under estimators

Ive had it happens dozens of times, some guy thinks his V-tech, or stock Volkswagen turbo, etc will win in a race against my 5.0. whats the funniest thing anyone legitimately thought could beat your 5.0 beast?

maybe its just with me, but this seems to happen a lot.

I see more 5.0 owners that overestimate their car.

Hm. Is the OP modded?

Wouldn't a stock Fox 5.0 be a good race against one of the newer Si's or GTI's?

I guess most people just know unless a fox has a good bit of work done there not "fast".

Personally I think I over-estimate Mustangs in general.

In my town there are tons of fox's rolling around - I know one of them is in sweet condition and is supercharged, and a couple others have some work done to them, the rest are pretty much rust buckets that I overlook.
But there are tons of highschool kids who own civics and what not, they put the huge exhaust on and then think they have the fastest cars in the world... pulling up next to me and revving and what not. I usually just wait for them to take off then just stay side by side or a little bit behind them then they think they are beating me... then I give it all the gas and go past them lol. My little brother is still in H.S. and we're from a smaller town... some kids with cars like Probes and what not always tell my bro they think they could kill me in a race. I always see one of the kids that talks smack behind my back and everytime we're on the same road he turns away lol
The other day I did get a bit scared though, I was cruising and saw the typical civic, but it looked stock (just had a hood on it), but I saw an intercooler for a turbo behind his grill lol. That doesn't automatically mean his car is fast but if he's got that then who know's what else is under that hood lol.
Then there is a CRX with a chamelion paint job that runs around my town from time to time, I bet the thing is an 11 second car easy.
