Does this happen to you...

Lots of Corvettes pace me, as if they need prove that their LS7 would destroy the VQ in a straight up drag race.

I rarely ever have anyone trying to get a race going, even ricey drivers. Maybe seeing a younger person driving doesn't beckon hooligans who want to "go." I had more people trying to race when I had my modified Saab haha, that car definitely would catch some people by surprise.

I actually had a guy and his wife, both in their late fifties pull up next to me the other day. They were in an SL65 V12 biturbo. Light turned green and I got off the line a little spiritedly. I guess the old guy was upset I was ahead of him, I heard those turbos spool and he shot past like I was standing still. Funny a guy in a ~$150k car with 600hp felt he had to prove something. I'm not complaining though I love it when people drive cars like they were designed.

one day i was cruising on the highway, so i went too far decided to take and exit and twist around, where i pulled up next to a red Corvet on a red light. opened my pass. window to say "Hey man that's a nice ride u got there" and gave him a thumbs up he looked at my car then at me and drove off not saying anything. "..ok... well f**k u, ill burn ur piece of sh!t anyday u hear???"
I dont think he heard me

Came up to a light that had been green a while and kick the car out of gear. Synchro rev match kicked up the rpms and the guy next to me was in a 6.0 gto and I guess he thought it was "go time".

Good 'ole SRM. Sometimes it can unintentionally make you look like a d-bag.

lol....funny cause its true.

The other day a sweet S4 was at a light as I came up behind him, downshifted so I guess he heard my exhaust and he revved his a bit which was deep and throaty sounding.

Light turned green and he just gave a wave and turned off as I went straight...see thats cool, just car admiration.

Just from my experience I get a lot of looks b/c where I am located is near many Marine Corps bases. Mainly you see mustangs and camaros. A few ricer cars here and there but mainly the muscle car guys. My girlfriend laughs a lot when she rides with me b/c she is always catching people looking at my car as I can't see them when I am paying attention to the road. Honestly I feel that the guys who are stock in the v8's usually will make a slow pass near me b/c well I am the only one in a 50 mile radius that owns one so they are not sure what the car is capable of. The one's that do offer a little something to the table ya they want to play. I see a few 350's and I'll give them the Z wave, or a quick flip of the lights and they will respond back. V-tech's always want to play and it's when they annoy me that I shut them down. When I get out of the car or when I get in my car in a parking lot is when I really catch people looking. It's funny too when you got the hot milf staring at you as she is loading her car up with groceries and her kids are running around the car playing. I love my car to death and that feeling of people looking at you, ya it's always there.

I'm still in my break in period, so most of the looks i get are probably "GTFO of the way" looks. hehe

Strange as this may sound, I got more "race" looks and challenges when i first got my Corolla S back in 2001, even though the "S" models at the time merely meant I got black interior with red gauges. uhhhh 110HP stock, but I got 43 MPG!
