So on another post, https://www.turbobuick.com/threads/bait-car.454256/ , Kyleh24 came up with a perfect acronym: JAM- Just Another Mustang. Loved it.
I had my GN out last week to grab some groceries and took the scenic route to get there. Had to stop at some railroad tracks and wait for a train with the rest of the traffic. A 4th gen JAM rolled up behind us just as the RR lights stopped flashing and the gate was going up. Charcoal black with a cowl hood with hood pins and an angry exhaust tone, the young guy behind the wheel of the Mustang seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere and was maneuvering in traffic to get ahead of the pack. My car must have looked slow and enticing because after about a quarter mile, he slowed down to line up with me. He lines up to the left of me, I’m in the middle with a lot of space ahead of us. At about 35mph, he shot me a rev, then geared down.
I was ready for him.
I matted it and my transmission geared down quick and the turbo spooled instantly. My rear broke loose and with me pedaling it, I had multiple car lengths on him in seconds, open dump sounding like a buzzsaw. I’m sure it shocked the hell out of him… it was not even close. He stayed behind me for another few miles suitably chastised until he finally accelerated ahead to make a quick left turn never to be seen again.
A Hyundai Veloster and 350z made some tries later that night, but are hardly worth mentioning as they were disposed of quickly with little throttle.
Good grocery trip for JAM.
