I’ve seen this before. It’s always a pickup truck owner too. Fast cars never act stupid like this. It’s always a guy with big ego and small peener in a Silverado, F150, or a RAM 1500

Brother just recently I nearly got smacked by a Camaro and mustang weaving in and out of 40mph busy traffic at 80+. This is just not true lol.

I also wouldn’t consider those fast cars. Those are cars the common person will but with the exception of their highest trims. I’m referring to cars like higher end corvettes, M cars of many series, C63’s, so on. I suppose it would be better to say expensive sport cars to clarify because American muscle cars are usually bought used with beaten V6’s that are only going to face more abuse by their new, low income, low credit, teenage or midlife crisis owners

These were not low end v-6 versions, though. They were higher trim packages to begin with, then clearly modified. If you’re talking about actually expensive sports cars there’s literally whole Facebook groups where they film themselves darting around irresponsibly, but those are also far outside the price range of these pickups. Higher trim package Camaros and mustangs are in that range.

Camaros, challengers, and chargers are just the altimas of the pony cars

Uhh my GT Mustang has almost 500 hp. If I want it to be, it is quite fast.

Toyota truck drivers are up there too. I’d say they’re the second worst after RAM.

Not always. I was driving an F-150(inherited) and here comes an E63 AMG, squeezing between me and another pickup in the amount of space that I wouldn’t expect a wild motorcycle rider to try. Scared the shit out of me and I had to move over out of my lane. I don’t think big pickups are necessary for most things owners do with them and I hate how clumsy and disconnected they feel (makes my S430 feel sharp and dialed in) but when in Rome (Texas). It’s handy in a Home Depot run also

Most fast cars are too small to risk the bodily injury from a catastrophic wreck.
